This study examines the determinants of excursionists’ satisfaction and destination loyalty towards architectural tourism destination in Ipoh Township, since in view of its economic, social and cultural importance, there are limited studies focusing on tourist satisfaction and destination loyalty towards architectural tourism in the extant literature. In addition, the downturn of the tourism sector in Malaysia has mirrored in the state of Perak which raises an alarming signal to the state tourism authorities as domestic tourists are shifting away to tourism destinations in other states and cities in Malaysia. It is postulated that Destination Image, Authenticity, Safety of Destination and Cultural Differences as direct determinants of excursionists’ satisfaction and destination loyalty. Using convenience sampling technique, this study surveyed 250 excursionists who are visiting architectural tourism destination in Ipoh Township. The data were analysed to ensure the attainment of internal reliability before further analyses were conducted. Multiple linear regression analyses found that all determinants had a significant positive effect on excursionists’ satisfaction and destination loyalty. The findings suggest managerial implications to the tourism stakeholders in preserving the heritage and cultural value of the Ipoh Township. Limitations and suggestions for future research are also highlighted.

The objective of this study is to predict the effect of tourism destination image and tourist satisfaction on foreign tourists’ intention to revisit the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Subjects of the study were 90 foreign tourists of 20 to 60 years old. The data used in the study were collected using a revisiting intention scale, a tourism destination image scale, and a tourist satisfaction scale. The data were analyzed by using a multiple liniear regression technique. Results of the study show that tourism destination image and tourist satisfaction simultaneously had a significantly positive effect on the foreign tourists’ revisiting intention with p = 0,000 (p < 0,01) and a determinant coefficient of 0,189. This means that tourism destination image and tourist satisfaction were simultaneously able to predict the revisiting intention of 18,9 %, so that 81,1 % was predicted by other variables that were not examined in the study. In addition, tourism destination image partially had a significantly positive. Effect on the revisiting intention with the regression coefficient of p = 0,000 (p < 0,01) and a determinant coefficient of 0,109 or 10,9 %, while tourist satisfaction partially had a significantly positive effect on the revisiting intention with p = 0,000 (p < 0,01) and a determinant coefficient of 0,16 or 16 % on the revisiting intention.

Sustainable tourism should maintain a high level of tourist satisfaction, so identifying components of tourism destination image plays an important role in destination management and marketing. This study aims to explore issues related to the image of a rural tourism destination, with the focus on the cognitive component. It also aims to analyze three dimensions of the cognitive component: functional, mixed, and psychological. Furthermore, this study gives the answer to the question of which dimension of the cognitive component makes the most significant impact on the general image of a rural tourism destination. The sample comprised 562 respondents. Data analysis included exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicate the existence of three dimensions of the cognitive component, and it can be concluded that the psychological dimension of the cognitive component has the most significant impact on the general image of a rural tourism destination.
