Abstract

The goal of this research was to develop and validate an integrative model for memorable wildlife tourism experience. The study examined how escapism, experience co-creation, existential authenticity, and experiential satisfaction serve as drivers of memorable wildlife experience. It further explored the connection between memorable wildlife tourism experience and hedonic well-being, eudaimonic well-being, place attachment and pro-environmental behaviour. The sample consists of 361 international tourists aged 18 years or more who visited the Mole National Park in Ghana between October 2022 and September 2023 for a wildlife safari. Results reveals that as experience co-creation, experiential authenticity, and experiential satisfaction increase, the more memorable wildlife tourism experience becomes. Enhanced experiential satisfaction and memorable experiences are associated with heightened hedonic well-being, eudaimonic well-being, place attachment, and pro-environmental behaviour. The theoretical and managerial implications as well as recommendations for future studies are presented.

难忘的野生动物旅游体验:来自莫尔国家公园的证据
本研究的目标是开发并验证一个令人难忘的野生动物旅游体验综合模型。研究探讨了逃避现实、体验共创、存在真实性和体验满意度如何成为难忘野生动物体验的驱动因素。研究还进一步探讨了难忘的野生动物旅游体验与享乐幸福感、美满幸福感、地方依恋和亲环境行为之间的联系。样本包括 361 名年龄在 18 岁或以上的国际游客,他们在 2022 年 10 月至 2023 年 9 月期间前往加纳莫尔国家公园参加野生动物野生游。研究结果表明,随着体验共创、体验真实性和体验满意度的提高,野生动物旅游体验的难忘程度也会增加。增强的体验满意度和难忘的体验与更高的享乐幸福感、愉悦幸福感、地方依恋和亲环境行为相关。本文阐述了理论和管理方面的影响,以及对未来研究的建议。
