Why is it important?

The results indicate that four dimensions of cognitive image (culture and social, environment, infrastructure and accessibility, and local food), affective image, and novelty seeking are the important and direct antecedents of satisfaction and destination loyalty, and that satisfaction mediates the relationships among destination image, novelty seeking, and destination loyalty.

Perspectives

Writing this article was a great pleasure for me as it allowed me to establish a good relationship with Vietnamese academics. I would be happy to collaborate with other academic colleagues on research projects related to tourism, hospitality and leisure.
