The growing number of premium outlets in Malaysia has led to a new shopping experience for both local and international tourists. Associated with the concept of ‘everyday discount’, premium outlets would attract more consumers to purchase at the outlets. Previous studies have revealed the significant influence of sales promotion on consumer purchase behaviour as well as impulse buying behaviour. However, there are limited studies identifying the role of sales promotion on impulse buying behaviour in the perspective of international and local tourists. Moreover, previous research of literature on the premium outlets, especially in Malaysia is still lacking. Therefore this study aims to evaluate the role of sales promotion on impulse buying in the perspective of international and local tourists at premium outlets in Malaysia. Data were collected from 359 tourists at five premium outlets in Malaysia, using a self-administered questionnaire. The result of the study indicates that both groups have different preferences in terms of sales promotion that induced them to make an impulse purchase. This study suggests that retailers or marketers should improvise their pricing strategies and give out more samples and gifts to attract tourists to spend more money.

Turkey has been among the most preferred countries by foreigners for purchasing a “second home” (SH) since the beginning of the 2000s. This explorative and descriptive study aims to determine the factors which affect the purchasing behaviors of foreigners who have bought an SH in Turkey in the framework of nationalities. The study employed a sequential mixed method, which included quantitative and qualitative aspects. As a result of the qualitative research, it was found that the factors affecting the decisions of foreign residents to purchase a home in Alanya were grouped under four main themes and twelve subthemes. A quantitative method was conducted based on the results of the qualitative research as well as the literature review. The results of the study show that the SH purchasing behavior of foreigners and their intentions of purchasing are significantly differentiated according to nationalities. This study contributes insight into the issue of the SH buying behavior of foreigners and presents marketing and managerial implications.
