| Title | How event quality affects satisfaction and revisit intention from the theory of planned behaviour | |
| Creator | Liu, Xuexin Zakaria, Jaffry Mohd Said, Omar F. | |
| Description | Purpose: The study aims to enhance the original theoretical framework of tourism planning by examining how event quality (ETQ), attitude (ATT), subjective norms (SNs), perceived behavioural control (PBC) and satisfaction (SAT) influence tourists’ revisit intention (RI). In addition, it aims to explore the connections between ETQ, tourists’ SAT and revisit intenion, addressing a critical gap in the literature.Design/methodology/approach: The authors gathered data from 491 domestic tourists who attended the inaugural Guizhou ‘Beautiful Countryside’ Basketball League in Guizhou, China, in 2023. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was employed to assess both the measurement and structural models in the study.Findings/results: The results revealed significant positive direct effects of ATT, ETQ, SAT, PBC and SN on RI. Furthermore, ETQ indirectly influences RI through SAT, highlighting SAT as a key mediator in this relationship. The extended theory of planned behaviour (ETPB), which included ETQ and SAT as newly integrated variables, provided a stronger framework for understanding the heightened influence of ETQ on RI.Practical implications: This study enhances the theory of planned behaviour model by integrating ETQ and SAT, offering valuable insights for extending the ETPB theory. While this contribution is significant, it also presents certain limitations.Originality/value: This article addresses a crucial gap by exploring how enhancing ETQ can directly improve tourist SAT and boost RI. It provides fresh insights into optimising event experiences, which is essential for sustainable tourism development and repeat visitor engagement. | |
