Abstract
ABSTRACTThis research examines the impact of immigrants’ past memories on destination brand equity and destination brand extension for homeland visiting. Based on the perspective of Myanmar immigrants, this study aims to explore whether travel motivation moderates the influence of past memories on place attachment. Additionally, it investigates whether place attachment positively affects destination brand equity and destination brand extension. The questionnaire involved Myanmar immigrants living in Taiwan for over a year, using convenience sampling. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed, with 385 questionnaires considered effective, resulting in a response rate of 77%. The findings of this study indicate that (1) past memories have a positive effect on place attachment; (2) place attachment positively influences destination brand equity and destination brand extension; (3) travel motivation moderates the impact of past memories on place attachment. Finally, the implications for managerial practice, research limitations, and future research directions are discussed.KEYWORDS: Past memoryplace attachmenttravel motivationdestination brandhomeland visiting Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan [grant number MOST 107-2410-H-260-030-SSS (to You-De Dai)].
期刊介绍:
Journal metrics are valuable for readers and authors in selecting a publication venue. However, it's crucial to understand that relying on any single metric provides only a partial perspective on a journal's quality and impact. Recognizing the limitations of each metric is essential, and they should never be considered in isolation. Instead, metrics should complement qualitative reviews, serving as a supportive tool rather than a replacement. This approach ensures a more comprehensive evaluation of a journal's overall quality and significance, as exemplified in Current Issues in Tourism.
