Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Concerning the contention of Pine and Gilmore (1999), experiences are directly related to a business's ability to generate revenue, providing tourist experiences that are more memorable and easier to retrieve would lead to the prosperity of the business. However, extant tourism research has provided little explanation of the factors that characterize memorable tourism experiences. The purpose of this research was: 1) to develop a valid and reliable memorable tourism experience scale; and 2) to examine structural relationships between memorable tourism experience and future behavioral intentions. Following the scale development procedure suggested by Churchill (1979) and Hinkin (1995), the memorable tourist experience scale was developed using a pool of items, expert reviews of the items, and scientific item elimination procedures. Reliability analyses indicated good internal consistency for the 24-item memorable tourism experience scale (Cronbach's alpha= .90). A principal component analysis revealed seven factors, which accounted for 74.63% of the total variance. Components included are hedonics, refreshing, local culture, meaningfulness, knowledge, involvement, and novelty. The finding of the CFA using LISREL program was cross-validated by splitting the total sample into two 250-case sub-samples. All major goodness-of-fit indices indicated the model's good fit to both datasets (CFI: .98, IFI: .98, NNFI: .97, and RMSEA: .05). After aggregating two separate samples (calibration and validation), structural relationships between the memorable tourist experiences and consequent variables (e.g., behavioral intentions) were tested. The findings indicated a good fit of model to the data (CFI: .98, IFI: .98, NNFI: .98, and RMSEA: .04).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
