ABSTRACT
Despite much previous research, gaps remain in our understanding of why satisfied tourists with positive destination images do not revisit favoured destinations. Recent research proposes sensory impressions as a complementary determinant of revisit intentions alongside destination image. This study initially compares how these two drivers influence changes in tourist behavioural loyalty over time, especially after the trip. Through a combination of a longitudinal field experiment and a survey, the studies found that a natural decline in willingness to revisit over time was largely associated with a fast fade-out of sensory impressions. Furthermore, we examined the effects on tourists with differing levels of experience, finding that for tourists who have visited several times, only sensory impressions play a significant role in willingness to revisit. Implications for tourism and hospitality industry recovery after the COVID-19 outbreak are outlined.
