The aim of this literature review is to enrich current knowledge about place attachment and tourist loyalty by theoretically reviewing previous research on these variables. Tourist loyalty is a tourist's willingness to revisit a destination and their willingness to recommend that destination to others. Place attachment is a person's bond with a place. Place attachment includes twoo dimensions, place identification, and place dependence. The results of this literature review found that place attachment have a direct and indirect influence (mediator) on tourist loyalty. The implication of this study suggest that tourism managers should understand place attachment as a complex psychological (cognitive, affective and behavioral) process in determining tourist loyalty.
