“…On the other hand, research that focused on the Southeast Asian region as destinations tended towards development, particularly in the areas of cultural conservation (Braithwaite & Leiper, 2010;Henderson, 2012Henderson, , 2017, sustainable development (Cernat & Gourdon, 2012;Mura & Sharif, 2015b;Novelli, Klatte & Dolezal, 2017;Ong & Smith, 2014) and economic progress (Henderson, 2015;Lu, Chen & Kuo, 2018;Wu & Wu, 2019). Due to the long-established intra-regional relationships encouraged by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), intra-regional demand also featured prominently within our dataset, largely dominated by examinations of policy and development (Cohen, 2016;Henderson, 2017;Ramos, Untong & Kaosa-ard, 2017).…”

“…This will be measured using destination attractions determinant, auxiliary factors and destination management. The scale items have been adapted from corresponding studies Guo & Cao 2004;Li Yang & Zeng, 2017;Enright & Newton, 2004, 2015Ritchie & Crouch, 2000;Wang, Hsu & Swanson, 2012).

“…Processes directly related to tourism and recreation (Shevchenko et al, 2020), including sports, can influence social changes (Ladda, 2014). Welfare growth, as well as positive political changes in the country, increase the demand for tourism services and, consequently, stimulate the tourism industry to develop its competitiveness (Henderson, 2015). One of the leading areas of sustainable business development is nature-based tourism through the use of the natural uniqueness of destinations (Berg et al, 2014), wildlife (Ajagunna et al, 2014), responsible use of natural resources (Trišić, 2020), and other local assets (Yan et al, 2021).…”
