本研究旨在通過結構方程模型(SEM)驗證目的地感知屬性(包括自然環境、文化資源、服務品質與基礎設施)、難忘的旅遊體驗、情感反應與最終行為意圖之間的因果關係。特別地,本研究關注情感反應在旅遊體驗與行為意圖之間的仲介作用,探索如何通過情感影響遊客的行為決策,進而推動旅遊目的地的品牌建設與口碑傳播。通過檢驗這些關係,本研究希望為旅遊管理實踐提供理論支持和實務建議,幫助提升遊客的重遊意向和推薦意圖。為了驗證上述關係,本研究採用了結構方程模型(SEM)進行數據分析。研究樣本來自 309 名遊客,通過問卷調查收集了有關遊客對目的地感知屬性、旅遊體驗、情感反應和行為意圖的自評數據。通過AMOS 軟件進行 SEM 分析,研究探討了目的地感知屬性對難忘旅遊體驗的影響、旅遊體驗對情感的影響,以及情感反應如何在旅遊體驗與行為意圖之間發揮仲介作用。此外,為了進一步驗證模型的穩健性,本研究還使用了 Bootstrap 方法進行了仲介效應的檢驗。研究結果表明,目的地的感知屬性,包括自然環境、文化資源、服務品質和基礎設施,均對難忘的旅遊體驗產生了顯著的正向影響。難忘的旅遊體驗進一步激發了遊客的情感反應,並通過情感反應顯著影響遊客的重遊意向和推薦意向。特別是,情感反應在旅遊體驗與行為意圖之間起到了重要的仲介作用,驗證了情感在遊客決策過程中不可忽視的作用。最終,研究結果為旅遊目的地管理者提供了提高遊客滿意度、增強情感聯結以及通過情感提升遊客忠誠度的實踐策略。
The purpose of this study is to verify the causal relationship between destination perceived attributes (including natural environment, cultural resources, service quality and infrastructure), memorable tourism experiences, emotional responses and ultimate behavioral intentions through structural equation modeling (SEM). In particular, this study focuses on the mediating role of emotional response between travel experience and behavioral intention, and explores how to influence tourists' behavioral decisions through emotion, so as to promote the brand building and word-of-mouth communication of tourist destinations. By examining these relationships, this study hopes to provide theoretical support and practical suggestions for tourism management practice, and help improve tourists' re-visit intention and recommendation intention.In order to verify the above relationship, the structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The sample of the study was 500 tourists, and self-rating data on tourists' perceived attributes of the destination, travel experience, emotional response and behavioral intention were collected through questionnaires. Through the SEM analysis using AMOS software, this study explores the influence of destination perception attributes on unforgettable travel experience, the influence of travel experience on emotion, and how emotional response plays a mediating role between travel experience and behavioral intention. In addition, in order to further verify the robustness of the model, the Bootstrap method was also used to test the mediator effect.The results show that the perceived attributes of a destination, including natural environment, cultural resources, service quality and infrastructure, have a significant positive impact on unforgettable travel experiences. Unforgettable travel experience further stimulates tourists' emotional response, and significantly influences tourists' re-visit intention and recommendation intention through emotional response. In particular, emotional response plays an important intermediary role between tourist experience and behavioral intention, which verifies the non-negligible role of emotion in tourist decision-making process. Finally, the research results provide practical strategies for tourism destination managers to improve tourist satisfaction, enhance emotional connection and enhance tourist loyalty through emotion.
