The Holiday Experience And Personal Values: An Irish Case Study, Sean Ruane, Deirdre Quinn

Conference papers

Tourist satisfaction is a positive function of both functional congruity between the expectations of the individual and choice of destination, and their perception about themselves. Linking destination image with the self can help in understanding this behaviour by focusing on the specific attributes of the holiday and how they match …
