“…There is far less work, however, on the travel behaviour of Brazilian, Russian and/or Indian tourists. Some exceptions include Kim et al (2006) on the impact of environmental values on Brazilian domestic tourists' motivations, Choi et al (2011) on the destination image of Korea by Russian tourists and Bandyopadhyay (2012) on how the tourism industry in India markets colonial nostalgia to Indian domestic tourists. These signal an underserved area in tourism CB research, as an insufficient understanding remains of several strong emerging markets that have powerful implications for the future shape of tourism demand.…”

Although consumer behaviour (CB) is one of the most researched areas in the field of tourism, few extensive reviews of the body of knowledge in this area exist. This review article examines what we argue are the key concepts, external influences and opportune research contexts in contemporary tourism CB research. Using a narrative review, we examine the CB literature published in three major tourism journals from 2000 to 2012. Of 519 articles identified and reviewed, 191 are included in this article. We examine the development of and scope for future research on nine key concepts, including decision-making, values, motivations, self-concept and personality, expectations, attitudes, perceptions, satisfaction, trust and loyalty. We then examine three important external influences on tourism behaviour, technology, Generation Y and the rise in concern over ethical consumption. Finally, we identify and discuss five research contexts that represent major areas for future scholarship: group and joint decision-making, under-researched segments, cross-cultural issues in emerging markets, emotions and consumer misbehaviour. Our examination of key research gaps is concluded by arguing that the hedonic and affective aspects of CB research in tourism must be brought to bear on the wider CB and marketing literature.Keywords: consumption; travel; behaviour; marketing; research agenda Introduction Consumer behaviour (CB) involves certain decisions, activities, ideas or experiences that satisfy consumer needs and wants (Solomon, 1996). It is 'concerned with all activities directly involved in obtaining, consuming and disposing of products and services, including the decision processes that precede and follow these actions' (Engel, Blackwell, & Miniard, 1995, p. 4). CB remains one of the most researched areas in the marketing and tourism fields, with the terms 'travel behaviour' or 'tourist behaviour' typically used to describe this area of inquiry. Few comprehensive reviews of the literature on CB concepts and models exist in the field of tourism. Exceptions include Moutinho (1993) who reviews the social and psychological influences on individual travel behaviour with the aim of developing a model of tourist behaviour and Dimanche and Havitz (1995) Tourism, 2014 Vol. 17, No. 10, 872 -909, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13683500.2013 four concepts (ego-involvement, loyalty and commitment, family decision-making and novelty-seeking) in an attempt to methodologically advance CB in tourism studies.A lack of comprehensive reviews is not only due to the extensive breadth of the topic area itself, but also because travel behaviour is generally considered as a continuous process that includes varied yet inter-correlated stages and concepts that cannot always be analysed separately (Mill & Morrison, 2002). Tourism researchers have reviewed individual concepts (e.g. Riley, Niininen, Szivas, & Willis, 2001, on loyalty), specific influences (e.g. Moutinho, 1993, on social influences on CB), and particular research contexts (e.g. Hong, Lee, L...

“…The existing studies have indicated that image affects revisit intention/loyalty (Yoon & Uysal, 2005;Choi, Tkachenko, & Sil, 2011;Chen, Yeh, & Huan, 2014) and visitors' place attachment to a destination (Lee, 2001;Veasna, Wu, & Huang, 2013). In addition, place attachment has been shown as a major precedent of loyalty (Alexandris, Kouthouris, & Meligdis, 2006;Yüksel et al, 2010).…”

This study investigates destination image, place attachment (including place dependence and place identity), and destination loyalty among visitors to night markets. A total of 474 effective questionnaires were collected from visitors to the three well-known Tainan night markets in Taiwan. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed using Amos 18 for Windows. The empirical results showed that destination image has a significant direct effect on place dependence, place identity, and destination loyalty. Additionally, place identity is the antecedent that has an effect on destination loyalty. In the indirect effect, destination image mainly influenced destination loyalty through place identity. Practical implications and recommendations for further studies are also provided.

“…This attitude will then affect the customer's satisfaction with the organization (Andreassen & Lindestad, 1998). Several studies reveal that the image of a visitor attraction significantly affects revisit intentions (Choi, Tkachenko, & Sil, 2011;Lee, Scott, & Kim, 2008;Nadeau, Heslop, O'Reilly, & Luk, 2008). Namely, visitors who have high evaluations of a visitor attraction where they have desirable emotion find a match in selfcongruity, or a favorable overall impression, and they would be disposed to visit or revisit the destination (Kim & Lee, 2015).…”

This study aims to examine the relationships among experiential quality, affective experience, novelty-seeking, experiential satisfaction and revisit intentions. Based on an extensive literature review and empirical research, the effects of experiential quality, affective commitment, zoo image, novelty-seeking, experiential satisfaction on revisit intentions using a multi-dimensional mode as a framework are proposed to facilitate research into the dynamics of the tourism industry and offer guidelines for practitioners as they constantly strive to provide the very best experience for their visitors.
