Abstract

AbstractTourism experiences have been recognized for their transformative potential and contributing to improving tourists’ quality of life. Despite this, little is known about the factors that trigger these impacts. This study examines the link between service quality, experiential quality and lifestyle and the influence these have on tourists’ quality of life. Using the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique, data from 367 tourists who participated in cultural and nature-based tourism experiences were analyzed. Results revealed that service quality and experiential quality favor the improvement of tourists’ quality of life, and this impact is mediated by the influence of lifestyle.Keywords: experiential qualitylifestyleservice qualitytourists’ quality of lifetransformative experiences Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementData employed for the research is contained within the article.Additional informationFundingProject co-financed by the European Social Fund and Junta de Extremadura within the framework of the “Financing aids for pre-doctoral contracts for the training of Doctors in the public R&D centers of the System of Science, Technology and Innovation of Extremadura for the year 2018” (Reference No. P D18013).

透过个人生活方式，探索优质旅游体验对生活品质的推动作用

摘要旅游体验因其变革潜力和对提高游客生活质量的贡献而得到认可。尽管如此，人们对引发这些影响的因素知之甚少。本研究探讨服务品质、体验品质与生活方式之间的关系，以及这些因素对游客生活品质的影响。利用偏最小二乘(PLS)技术，对367名参与文化和自然旅游体验的游客的数据进行了分析。结果表明，服务质量和体验质量有利于游客生活质量的提升，并通过生活方式的影响起到中介作用。关键词:体验质量生活方式服务质量游客生活质量变革性体验披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。数据可用性声明用于研究的数据包含在文章中。其他信息资助项目由欧洲社会基金和埃斯特雷马杜拉政府在“2018年埃斯特雷马杜拉科学、技术和创新系统公共研发中心培训医生的博士前合同资助资助”框架内共同资助(参考编号:D18013页)。这项研究成果的传播由欧洲区域发展基金和埃斯特雷马杜拉军政府(Consejería de Economía, Ciencia y Agenda Digital)资助。GR21096)。
