Why is it important?
The findings indicated that satisfaction correlated with both antecedents (quality, destination image, environment, perceived value, hedonic value, utility value, and monetary value) and consequences (purchase intention, loyalty, trust, and word-of-mouth). In addition, possible moderators of the relationship between the constructs of antecedents and consequences of satisfaction (sample type, application of research, and sample size) have also been examined. After discussing these findings, the authors concluded with a discussion of the implications for practice and further research.
