Raouf Ahmad Rather, Linda D. Hollebeek, S. Mostafa Rasoolimanesh
Though customer engagement (CE) and customer experience (CX) are recognized as key research priorities, empirically derived insight into their association with tourism customers’ ensuing value cocreation and destination revisit intent remains tenuous, in particular for first-time versus repeat customers. In response to this gap, we develop an S-D logic–informed model that tests the effect...... hiện toàn bộ
