Abstract
This study proposes a novel framework to comprehend tourists’ relationships with eco-friendly destinations and their respective outcomes. Building on the positive addiction theory and brand love literature, this study tries to see the impact of a destination's image and tourists’ involvement on tourist-destination relationships—destination love and destination addiction. It also aims to measure the impact of these relationships on tourists’ well-being and their willingness to pay extra using a sample of 335 eco-friendly destination tourists from China. The findings provide novel insight for academicians and practitioners of eco-friendly destination brands.
