Abstract
This study investigates how paragliding tourists’ storytelling intentions are affected by their flow experiences and the mediating role of satisfaction in this relationship. It also examines the moderating role of motivation (adventure-seeking and learning-seeking) in the relationships between all variables. The survey technique was used to test these hypotheses, and a total of 432 data were collected from tourists who came to Turkey-Fethiye for paragliding. The results of the analysis showed that flow experience had a positive effect on storytelling intention and satisfaction mediated the relationship between these two variables. In addition, the effect of flow experience on satisfaction is stronger for adventure-seeking tourists. The empirical results offer theoretical and practical implications for both destination managers and adventure tourism professionals.
