Overview

Survey explores how motivation and transformative experiences affect revisit intention in wellness tourism, highlighting potential strategies.

Key Points

  • The study reveals that transformative experiences in wellness tourism do not influence tourists' intent to revisit destinations.
  • Online survey of 314 wellness tourists indicated transformation is perceived as a one-time occurrence.
  • Using Uses and Gratification Theory, the study examines the relationship between motivation, transformation, and revisit intention.
  • These findings suggest wellness destinations should focus on enhancing services rather than solely promoting transformative experiences.
