“…Hammitt, Kyle, and Oh (2009) claim that a two-dimensional model of place identity and place dependence has been the most prominently used attachment model by recreation resource researchers. This model has been found to be reliable across various samples and outdoor recreation contexts (Lee et al, 2012). However, support is strongest for using place affect, place dependence, and place identity as the dimensions or subconstructs of place attachment.…”

“…Several authors have called for more research on the relationship between events and place (Lee et al, 2012;McClinchey & Carmichael, 2010;Van Aalst & Van Melik, 2012), with sports event research on this theme notably underdeveloped. Our study responded to this gap in the literature by assessing the influence of place on the experiences of sport event spectators.…”

“…There is a limited amount of work on the link between place attachment and satisfaction, and these studies draw "varied" conclusions (Lee, Kyle, & Scott, 2012). Lee et al (2012) examine the relationship between place attachment and festival satisfaction and argue that place attachment is the product of satisfaction, although they recommend, "further investigation on this relationship is necessary" (p. 74).…”

“…Our study explores if and how attachment to venues affects event satisfaction, and which dimensions of place attachment are most important. (Lee et al, 2012). The dimensional structure of venue attachment might change in different situations, with environmental variations affecting certain types of attachment more than others do.…”

Many studies analyze how events affect places, but few examine how places affect events. Existing research suggests that the physical qualities of a venue affect event experiences, but these studies often ignore subtler dimensions of place such as symbolism, affect, and identity. By narrowly focusing on venues, existing research also tends to neglect the fact that event places are perceived at a wider scale also (e.g., the host destination). Whether these wider place factors affect event experiences is the main question addressed by this study. The research involved a quantitative study of spectators who attended the London 2012 Olympic Games. The authors developed and tested a complex model that hypothesized the effects of place on satisfaction using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). After permissions were gained from the International Olympic Committee and the London Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, data were collected from over 600 people attending Olympic events. Research was undertaken at three different types of venue: The Aquatics Centre (a purpose-built venue), Greenwich Park (a temporary venue), and Wimbledon (an established venue). The findings showed that both venue attachment and place defined at the wider scale (at the destination level) had significant positive effects on event satisfaction. In addition, we found evidence that the different types of venues—purpose built, temporary, and established—moderated the relationship between venue attachment and event satisfaction. The results support venue attachment as a second-order factor and demonstrate the role of place symbolism within a four-dimensional conceptualization of place attachment. Ultimately, the research suggests that where an event is staged does affect event satisfaction, and this has important implications for the ways the Olympic Games and other large-scale events are staged.

How political identity and attitudinal spillover matter for consumption of place: Evidence from winter migrants in the United States

Understanding winter migration is relevant for marketing managers and consumer researchers, yet research on this important phenomenon remains scarce. Extending literatures on attitude formation and attitudinal spillover, political identity, and consumption of place, the current research shows that more conservative winter migrants from the United States score higher on consumer animosity and lower on consumer affinity toward Mexico. Affinity toward Mexico, but not animosity, is associated with sense of place and psychological ownership toward a popular winter migration destination, the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in the United States, through attitudinal spillover. Furthermore, psychological ownership toward the RGV is associated with managerially relevant outcome variables, including revisit intention, word‐of‐mouth, and relocation intention. Tests for alternative explanations (ethnocentrism and xenocentrism) and unobserved heterogeneity are conducted, and the results are discussed in light of the extant literature.
