Abstract

This research investigates the influence of social norms and prior expectations on tourist satisfaction and loyalty in Bali’s wellness destinations, addressing a gap in understanding normative influence during and after consumption. The research aims to determine whether conforming to tourist norms is an autonomous source of satisfaction, independent of the spa’s intrinsic qualities or expected health benefits. Employing structural equation modeling on data from 355 international spa tourists, the research reveals that social norms have a more significant impact than expected health benefits on tourist behavior. Conformity perceptions were found to be stronger among spa lovers compared to spa discoverers. The novelty lies in its examination of compliance with social norms and personal benefit expectancies during the destination consumption phase. These findings emphasize the significance of normative influence in shaping tourist behavior at wellness destinations, offering valuable insights for marketing strategies that leverage social norms to enhance customer loyalty and destination competitiveness.

Abstract

Agritourism in Bali has not been developed optimally yet. As a basis for development of agritourism, the criteria should be determined and priorities among criteria need to be set. The objectives of this research were: (i) to identify criteria for agritourism development; and (ii) to analyze the priorities for selected criteria according to the agritourism stakeholders in Bali. This research implemented Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method which involved 20 key informants representing agritourism stakeholders. The finding was the priority criteria for agritourism development in Bali, namely: (1) Attractions, followed by (2) Local Community Involvement, (3) Ancillary Services, (4) Marketing, (5) Amenities, and (6) Accessibility. This kind of research has not been undertaken previously in Bali. It contributes to academic and practical implications, particularly in agritourism development planning in Bali, in which development of agritourism should be focused on the diversification of agritourism attractions supported by professional management and community participation.
