The impact of tourists' online and offline factors on word of mouth at heritage sites: Imagination, affection, authenticity, and aesthetics
Despite its impact, the complex mechanisms driving word of mouth (WOM) in tourism remain unclear. Grounded in the experience economy, aesthetics, and complexity theory, this study addresses this gap using data from the Old Town of Lijiang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in China. Through 16 interviews and a survey of 384 tourists, the study identified 23 measurable items for six online and offline factors as key antecedents of WOM at heritage sites. The results of fsQCA identified five configuration solutions that emerged: “Emotion and architectural authenticity type,” “Emotion and order aesthetics type,” “Imagination proclivity and traditional culture type,” “Imagination proclivity and order aesthetics type,” and “Traditional culture and order aesthetics type.” The results showed that WOM is shaped by both online and offline factors, emphasizing the complexity of tourists' virtual and physical experiences. These insights advance integrated research in heritage tourism and inform more effective management strategies.
