Abstract

Destinations entering the lifecycle of maturity/stagnation typically cannot ensure economic sustainability with their traditional “transactional strategy”. Turning to the “relational strategy” that relies on loyal tourists may be a good alternative. Destination attachment is a critical concept for initiating and perpetuating revisits by loyal tourists. However, existing research has not focused on deriving attachment-triggered attributes and has failed to provide a systematic integration of different destination decision-making characteristics that are affected by the attachment level. This study identified twelve critical attachment-triggered destination attributes of Hainan based on the proposed “attachment level-based destination decision-making framework”, thereby contributing to the solution of existing theoretical and practical problems. Social network analysis was performed. The corresponding implications and limitations were discussed.
