    Perceived value and its relationship to satisfaction and loyalty in cultural coastal destinations: a study in Huanchaco, Peru

    Get PDF
    Coastal tourism offers a wide variety of activities related to nature and culture in a sustainable environment. The present study in a coastal destination with cultural characteristics aims to (i) establish the dimensions of perceived value, (ii) determine the relationship between perceived value and satisfaction, and (iii) identify the relationship between perceived value and loyalty in variables such as return, recommendation, and word of mouth in a cultural coastal destination. This quantitative research used a sample of 384 valid questionnaires collected in Huanchaco, Peru, a city next to the Pacific Ocean, being a coastal destination with cultural potential. Factor analysis and multiple regression were applied for data analysis. The results show three dimensions of value perceived by tourists in coastal destinations: emotional and social value, economic value, and functional value. Of these, emotional and social value is the most salient predictor of tourist satisfaction and loyalty. These results will serve as management guides for cultural coastal destination managers and contribute to the academic literature

    Get PDF
    This study aims to analyze the different segments of urban tourism demand. The data were collected in Mexico City, Lima, Buenos Aires, and Bogota, and a K-means clustering method was used to find the segments. The results showed three segments: the first cluster grouped tourists interested in enjoying lodging and restaurant services; the second included visitors seeking multiple attractions, who were the most willing to recommend the destinations; finally, the third was composed of passive tourists, not drawn to the attractions of these cities. This study contributes to the literature by offering evidence of urban tourism segmentation in Latin American cities, which has been scarcely researched. Furthermore, it sheds light on this topic by finding a segment not previously described in the literature ("multiple attractions"). Finally, this study offers practical implications for managers of tourism companies to plan and improve the competitiveness of destinations based on the different segments found

    This research study identifies those factors which influence the consumption of care products in the Latinamerican male segment. That's why, an instrument based on the behavorial theory was applied to 600 men living in two countries of this regi贸n and having different levels of development regarding the above mentioned category, Mexico -highly developed- and Peru -moderately developed-. The data obtained were analyzed using a model of structural equations. The results show that a subjective norm will stop men's consumption of these kinds of products. Similarly, the impact of this subjective norm will be lower in young men, allowing them to have a great aperture in the consumption of these care products.Este estudio busca identificar los factores que influyen en el consumo de productos de cuidado personal dentro del segmento masculino latinoamericano. Para ello, se aplic贸 un instrumento basado en la teor铆a del comportamiento planificado a 600 hombres pertenecientes a dos pa铆ses de la regi贸n con diferentes niveles de desarrollo de la categor铆a en cuesti贸n: M茅xico (alto desarrollo) y Per煤 (moderado desarrollo). Los datos obtenidos fueron analizados a partir de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados sugieren que, en ambos pa铆ses estudiados, la norma subjetiva inhibir铆a el consumo de este tipo de productos entre los hombres. Asimismo, el impacto de la norma subjetiva ser铆a menor en hombres j贸venes, teniendo ellos mayor apertura al consumo de estos productos
