Abstract

Recognizing the importance of understanding visitor behavior, this study examines the intricate connection between gender and heritage tourism. A comprehensive research model is proposed, linking various aspects of heritage tourism experiences, highlighting the positive influence of engaging with food, historical sites, and co-creation on place attachment, nostalgia, and satisfaction. Using purposive sampling and personnel interviews, questionnaires were distributed to those who had a Macau holiday experience by visiting the cultural heritage site. A total of 499 questionnaires were collected. First, this study performs partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses of the proposed comprehensive research model. Then, building on the above findings, this study conducts a Multigroup Analysis to unravel the role that gender may play within the context of heritage tourism. By shedding light on gender's impact, this research enriches the heritage tourism discourse, expanding knowledge on the complex interplay between gender and tourist experiences.

性别会影响遗产旅游体验吗？通过多群体分析寻找答案

认识到了解游客行为的重要性，本研究探讨了性别与遗产旅游之间错综复杂的联系。研究提出了一个全面的研究模型，将遗产旅游体验的各个方面联系起来，强调参与美食、历史遗迹和共同创造对地方依恋、乡愁和满意度的积极影响。研究采用目的性抽样和人员访谈的方法，向曾在澳门度假并参观文化遗址的游客发放问卷。共收集到 499 份问卷。首先，本研究采用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对提出的综合研究模型进行假设检验。然后，在上述结论的基础上，本研究进行了多组分析，以揭示性别在遗产旅游中可能扮演的角色。通过揭示性别的影响，本研究丰富了遗产旅游的论述，拓展了关于性别与游客体验之间复杂相互作用的知识。
