This research focuses on the impact of the tourist experience on the relationship among destination image, tourist motivation, and tourist satisfaction on destination loyalty by examining the theoretical and empirical evidence on the causal relationship between constructs. A research model was proposed, in which nine hypotheses were developed, and the empirical data were collected from Hue city, which is a major tourist destination in Vietnam. A total of 204 questionnaires were returned, and the data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The moderating effect of the tourist experience on the impact of the destination image, tourist motivation, and tourist satisfaction on destination loyalty is analyzed in this article. The proposed conceptual model was tested, and the results reveal a significant relationship between the two constructs to destination loyalty (destination image and tourist satisfaction). Furthermore, the findings support the proposed destination loyalty model: destination image, tourist satisfaction directly influenced destination loyalty, and tourist experience play an important role as a moderator in the relationship between tourist motivation and tourist loyalty.

The purpose of the present study is to examine a theoretical model using authentic experience, perceived benefit, perceived cost, and support for tourism development among attendees of the Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage in Taiwan. Overall, 1,244 usable responses were collected and analyzed. Analytic findings indicated that authentic experience and perceived benefits are precedents of support for tourism development. Perceived benefits significantly mediate the relationship between authentic experience and support for tourism development in both first-time and repeat attendees. The present study concludes that an individual who attends a traditional religious festival has authentic experiences of pilgrimage that create perceived benefits and lead to behavior that supports tourism development. The theoretical and managerial implications presented in this article elucidate an original theoretical framework and valuable insights for promoting support for tourism development, potentially also contributing to the literature.

“…Las motivaciones. La producción científica que retoma las motivaciones de la persona que viaja a destinos religiosos coincide en categorías como la fe (Ladrón, 2016;Millán et al, 2010;Mora et al, 2018;Prazeres & Carvalho, 2015;Rosas & Propin, 2017;Schneider & Cappellano, 2015;Taborda, 2018;Timofeeva et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2020;Yao et al, 2020) y la curiosidad, es decir, el vivir experiencias nuevas y conocer nuevas culturas y lugares (Ambrósio, 2009;Araújo & Pinto, 2017;Belucio & Fuinhas, 2019;Christoffoli et al, 2012;Moscarelli et al, 2020;Rubio, 2018;Schüler, 2020). Así mismo, uno de los primeros trabajos de este tipo es la propuesta teórica de Smith (1992), quien ofrece una primera definición del tipo de viajero a un destino de turismo religioso según el tipo y nivel de fervor que lo motive.…”

“…Para Collins (2010), "la peregrinación se demarca como un viaje por causas religiosas, externamente a un lugar santo e internamente con propósitos espirituales y de autoconocimiento" (p. 159). Algunas de las características del peregrino son: personas que no extienden su estancia más de un día; prefieren no hacer uso de servicios turísticos complementarios; en su mayoría son hombres mayores de edad y tienen como principal motivación su devoción religiosa y la intención de cumplir votos, pagar favores y agradecer (Juárez et al, 2017;Millán et al, 2010;Mora et al, 2017;Mora et al, 2018;Moscarelli et al, 2020;Nava, 2017;Nozifora, 2010;Wang et al, 2020).…”
