“…Destination loyalty is often measured using revisit intention (e.g. Leong et al, 2015;Sirakaya-Turk, Ekinci, & Martin, 2015), however research suggests that revisit intention diminishes over time and actual repeat visits are rare (Jang & Feng, 2007; McKercher, Denizci-Guillet, & Ng, 2012). Tourism motivation is primarily about exploration, novelty seeking and wanderlust, and its consumption is relatively infrequent, in comparison to daily consumption activities (Crompton, 1979).…”

“…Travel motivation is made up of needs that predispose a person towards a certain tourist activity (Pizam et al, 1979). Research on travel motivation has been a subject of many tourism research papers in the past (Crompton, 1979;Dann, 1981;Pearce, 1995;Pearce, 2005;Murphy, Benckendorff, and Moscardo, 2007;Jang, Bai, Hu, and Wu, 2009;Huang and Hsu, 2009) and it is remains a popular research theme (Li and Cai, 2012;Jiang, 2015;Leong et al, 2015;Li et al, 2015;Wong and Tang, 2016).…”

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to develop a new perspective on urban tourist motivations by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model to help to understand how tourists make decisions about which destinations to visit. MethodThis study was based on 30 1-hour long structured interviews with visitors to Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. Respondents were asked to express their preferences between different pull-factor motives for their visit, using Saaty's scale, and further qualitative data was collected to examine these preferences in more depth. FindingsThe results of this study indicate that the most relevant criteria and thus predominant factors in motivation for visits to Ljubljana are the Cultural and Nightlife pull-factors, while Religious and Business motives are the lowest ranked factors. The paper argues that the results show the value of applying the AHP model to understand the role of pull-factors in urban tourism destination choice. Research limitations/implicationsAs a single-destination case study, it is important that the findings of this research are evaluated against similar studies in other cities. A limitation of this research is the fact that sub motives within major groups of pull-factor motives have not been explored in this study and this should be the subject of future, more detailed research. Originality/valueThis research shows the value of applying, AHP, an under-used method to understand urban tourist motivations. The new knowledge gained through applying this method is of value to destination marketing organisations as well as to researchers conducting future studies, who will be able to replicate it and test its value.

“…For instance, six push and three pull motivation factors of second-home owners in relation to the purchase of nature-based tourism activity products have been identified (Tangeland, Vennesland, & Nybakk, 2013). Leong, Yeh, Hsiao, and Huan (2015) explored the interaction between push and pull motivations. They found that nostalgia push motivation 9 positively affects two pull motivations, namely, historical and heritage attraction as well as family and friend bonding opportunities.…”
