“…Of course, it will also affect the willingness to travel to the destination again because of the image or the feeling of the actual experience effect [55]. Therefore, the willingness to travel can be regarded as the expression of loyalty and can also be regarded as the local community's development decision-making and living environment planning effect to construct a safe and friendly leisure space that allows people to be willing to travel or experience again and be trusted by the public [41,42]. Additionally, when people's positive feelings about the environmental experience are higher, the awareness of going to travel will be stronger.…”

“…Some scholars believe that although this effect can be compared and verified by the parties involved in the activity process, as well as the expected expectations of the surrounding environment and the actual experience after participation [41], the greater the degree of positive perception, the better the effect and the greater the willingness to consume-the greater [42] and the stronger the willingness to continue participating in the future experience [43]. However, it takes time to verify the effectiveness of decisionmaking, and we must first obtain the opinions of tourists and residents [25,44], and then verify and compare the two [25,44,45] to obtain more in-depth answers.…”

From the perspective of satisfaction, physical and mental health, and re-travel, this study explored whether the development of religious and cultural tourism could construct a sustainable and friendly life and leisure environment for the elderly to promote physical and mental health. This research adopted a mixed method, collected 700 questionnaires, used SPSS 22.0 statistical software, and analyzed basic statistics, t-test, and PPMCC test. Then, the researchers conducted semi-structured interviews, collected the opinions of six interviewees, and finally analyzed with multiple checks Law discussion. The results found that people of different genders and stakeholders had different opinions about DIY activities on leisure satisfaction, featured itineraries, relaxation areas, signs and instructions, community association and service center services, historical landmarks, and public transportation. They found people’s life satisfaction in physical and mental health was increased, their headaches or pressures on the top of their heads were relieved, backache problems were reduced, and they were no longer anxious and lost tempers. They had a greater willingness to revisit some places and share experiences. This study found significant differences among these topics (p < 0.01). Women, residents, and tourists had different opinions. In addition, although the natural environment landscape and feelings have the greatest influence, the better the physical and mental health was improved, the better the willingness to travel. However, the more perfect the local construction and development, the less favorable to attract people to engage in leisure activities or tourism consumption.

“…In recent years, tourism has made significant contributions to local economies and has become vital to economic activity worldwide [1]. However, the tourism market is filled with numerous challenges [2], such as new client demands, tourist-saturated destinations, tourism phobia, infrastructure modernization, and the increasingly fierce competition between tourist destinations [3]. However, competitiveness between tourist destinations has been considered to be a prerequisite for its sustainability [4].…”

As mountain-based health and wellness tourism increases, destination competitiveness becomes ever fiercer. The pre-visit expectations and post-visit perceptions of tourists and the tourists’ behavioral intentions are related to the competitiveness of mountain-based health and wellness tourist destinations. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we explored the factors that affect destination competitiveness and its relationships with tourism satisfaction and tourists’ behavioral intentions to return to and to recommend the location to others. We used a questionnaire for data collection from 550 tourists who visited a mountain-based health and wellness tourist destination in Panzhihua, China. The results suggested that there is an indirect positive correlation between tourists’ satisfaction and destination competitiveness, as well as a direct positive correlation between behavioral intentions and destination competitiveness, illustrating that tourist behavioral intentions can be an important factor in destination competitiveness. In the case of Panzhihua, the tourist source market in China has provided a competitive edge to this city. In addition, considering the environment’s capacity, developing an intention to return in tourists is important for tourism marketing in view of the increasing mountain-based health and wellness tourism competitiveness and concerns about sustainability.

“…This is natural due to the fact that Spaniards have greater purchasing power. This was confirmed by Durán-Román, Cárdenas-García, & Pulido-Fernández [27], that the willingness to pay to improve the experience in the destination has a direct relationship with the income and budget of the tourists visiting Andalucía. Although income allows paying more for a service, other studies found that nationality had a more significant effect on willingness to pay for some tourism activity than other factors [28], even the foreign visitors' willingness to pay is twice that of domestic visitors' willingness to pay [29].…”

Research suggests that colour plays an important role in creating wellness emotions in hotel customers. This paper considers that tourists’ needs for wellness may be satisfied by manipulating existing elements of a hotel, such as the colour of a hotel room. The paper studies the relationship between tourists’ emotions and the main colour of a hotel room, and also the relationship between that emotion and their intention to stay in the hotel, and even the price that the tourists are willing to pay. Also, the paper studies the role of cultural differences in these relationships, specifically between Spanish and Equatorian tourists.
