“…For residents, higher identification with their place of living likely reflects a strong place attachment (Zenker & Petersen, 2014). For external target groups, like tourists, some form of place attachment can also increase with a higher level of involvement with said place (Gross & Brown, 2006). However, it must be stated that this attachment may not be of the same type or level of attachment in comparison with residents.…”

h i g h l i g h t sResidents are an important target group for destination branding, since they, e.g., work as place ambassadors. (Destination) branding often simplifies messages, but this could be not effective for complex brands.Residents have a wider knowledge of the place and could disagree with a simplified brand. For residents, positive place attitude and place behaviour is increased with a higher brand complexity. Positive relationship between brand complexity and place attitude and behaviour is stronger for residents than for tourists. a r t i c l e i n f o b s t r a c tThis article contributes to a broader understanding of how the branding of places affects both residents and tourists. While branding often relies on simplified messages, the effectiveness of such strategies for complex brands remains questionable. Residents in particular possess a confounded knowledge of the place and could disagree with simplified destination brands. To test the role of brand complexity for residents and tourists, we conducted two empirical studies (N ¼ 765; N ¼ 385), showing that, for residents, positive place attitude (i.e., place satisfaction, identification, and attachment) and place behaviour (i.e., positive word-of-mouth) increase with a higher brand complexity. The second study shows that the positive relationship of brand complexity is stronger for residents than for tourists, supporting the conclusion that brand complexity is relevant for place brands, but that the place brand for residents requires more complexity than a destination brand, while it imperative that both are integrative parts of an overall brand.

“…In the research of Cohen and Avieli (2004) on attraction and impediment of food and beverages in tourism, food neophobic tendencies were considered as an outstanding element, because eating involves actual bodily involvement with the intake of food and beverages. Gross and Brown (2006) used the lifestyle tourism state to assess the dimensional structure of a measure of involvement for holiday experiences. The authors found that a dimension of food and wine involvement was an indicator of lifestyle tourism experiences.…”

“…Only a few studies on food-related personality (e.g. Cohen and Avieli, 2004;Getz and Brown, 2006;Gross and Brown, 2006;Gross and Brown, 2008;Kim, Eves, and Scarles, 2009;Sparks, 2007) have been investigated attitudes and behaviours towards food-related holidays. In addition, except for the work of Brown, Havitz, and Getz (2006) who developed a wine involvement scale (WIS), other studies have dealt with food-related personality traits as only a small element of their research.…”

“…Essa reflexão nos levou a adotar a modelagem de equações estruturais pela estratégia de 'desenvolvimento de modelos' proposta por Hair et al (2005), que prevê a necessidade de se buscar mudanças possíveis no modelo como forma de melhoria do resultado, mesmo quando o modelo de hipóteses já tiver sido definido. Trata-se, segundo esses mesmos autores, da reespecificação de um modelo na qual se buscam promover melhorias no ajuste do modelo ou de correspondências com a literatura estudada.…”

ResumoEsse estudo busca compreender a relação entre a satisfação ao lugar, o apego ao lugar e a qualidade de vida percebida pelos residentes de um lugar. A análise preliminar dos estudos realizados mostrou que o foco de marketing de lugares tem sido predominantemente voltado para aplicar as ferramentas tradicionais de marketing aos lugares, na busca de atrair visitantes, investidores e novos residentes, com menor ênfase aos agentes residentes dos lugares. Isto justificou o foco deste estudo nos residentes. A partir da revisão da literatura, foi proposto um modelo de relações entre os construtos, testado empiricamente através de modelagem de equações estruturais em amostras de residentes das cidades de João Pessoa, Campina Grande, Guarabira e suas cidades circunvizinhas, no estado da Paraíba. Além do modelo, também testamos e propomos uma escala para medir o construto satisfação com o lugar. Os resultados confirmam as hipóteses e apresentam a satisfação com o lugar e o apego ao lugar como preditores do construto qualidade de vida percebida; uma escala de satisfação com o lugar foi desenvolvida e proposta; e foram identificados os fatores específicos de um lugar que contribuem para a satisfação geral com o lugar.
