“…Hu and Xu (2021) verified the positive influence of the memorability of traveling experience on revisiting intention. Sie et al (2021) argued that the recollection of travel experiences is critical to memorable experiences which ultimately influence perceived benefits and life satisfaction. Williams et al (2020) insisted that although unforgettable experiences can result in unique brand, monetary premium, and other corporate revenue, relying on unforgettable experiences are also risky for enterprises.…”

The increasing drastic competition between tourism destinations decides on only the sites with good reputation can attract more and more tourists. The tourism destination reputation will affect tourists’ choices before traveling and consumption behavior during traveling. In order to analyze tourist consumption behavior during traveling, this article initially builds a theoretical model of tourism destination reputation, tourist enjoyment, tourist memorability, and tourist consumption behavior. Then, 490 valid questionnaires are collected based on a field survey. Meanwhile, a basic sample information collection, reliability, and validity testing (confirmatory factor analysis) and testing analysis based on structural equation model are conducted on the collected data. The result of the confirmatory factor analysis shows that the tourism destination reputation is measured by five factors: catering, accommodation, landscape, culture, and recreation and entertainment; tourist enjoyment is measured by the feeling of joy and relaxation; tourist memorability is measured by emotional memory, expectation memory, benefit memory, and interest memory; tourist consumption behavior is represented by five indexes: willing consumption, urgent consumption, guided consumption, repeated consumption, and recommended consumption. The hypothesis testing shows that the heritage tourism destination reputation not only directly and positively influences tourist consumption behavior but also indirectly affects tourist consumption behavior through tourist memorability and the chain relationship between tourist enjoyment and memorability. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to improve the tourism destination reputation and tourist enjoyment and memorability.

“…Elderly consumers are not only described as a growing segment of interest and importance for the travel and hospitality industry (Pestana et al, 2020; Tiago et al, 2016), but there is also a growing literature highlighting the importance of travel later in life (Moal, 2021; Pestana et al, 2020; Sie et al, 2021). The literature also predicts the need for new tourism products to better satisfy the growing segment of elderly consumers (Glover & Prideaux, 2009).…”

This paper reports a theme‐based structured systematic literature review of the growing body of marketing research about elderly consumers. By synthesizing, explicating, and relating this research, the paper offers a structured view of the past and present state of the research field and integrates it into a theoretical framework. The literature review was based on 209 marketing research articles published from the early 1970s to 2021. It identified 13 research topics, which were subsequently grouped into three themes: (1) describing and defining the elderly market segment, (2) age changes and the elderly consumer, and (3) marketing responses of elderly consumers. Based on these themes, the paper presents a theoretical framework and provides directions for future marketing research on elderly consumers. The systematic literature review thus provides clarity to a wide and interdisciplinary research field, facilitating its continued growth.

“…In order to develop memorable tourism experiences, the avenues employed to engage tourists must fulfill the cultural tourists' need for a deeper cultural experience (Chen & Rahman, 2018). Many people gained a variety of psychological benefits from their travels, according to the findings of the study of Sie et al (2021), which lasted long after the trip was over. Memorable encounters and perceived advantages have been discovered to mediate the connections between the motivations or tour choices of senior tourists and their overall happiness in one's life.…”
