TL;DR: In this article, inbound travelers to Hong Kong with aCHi-squareA utomaticIdentificationDetector (CHAID) technique were used to derive market segments based on their likelihood of revisiting Hong Kong.
Abstract: This study segments inbound travelers to Hong Kong with aCHi-squareA utomaticIdentificationDetector (CHAID) technique. Seven predictors are used to derive market segments based on their likelihood of revisiting Hong Kong. The CHAID analysis produces six segments based on respondents' travel purpose, age, income, and repeat visit status. Each segment is described according to trip characteristics, including length of stay, travel party size, total expenditure, frequency of visits, mode of travel, and post-trip perceptions. Suggestions are made based on findings from the study, and marketing implications for resultant segments are discussed.

TL;DR: Leisure travelers to Hong Kong from seven geographic origins were analyzed based on their evaluation of four product-related variables: satisfaction with the destination, perceived value, service quality and intent to return.
Abstract: Leisure travelers to Hong Kong from seven geographic origins were analyzed based on their evaluation of four product-related variables: satisfaction with the destination, perceived value, service quality and intent to return. The four variables were found to be significantly related to each other as suggested by previous studies. However, when geographic areas of origin were compared to each other many significant differences were found in the evaluation of the destination, supporting research suggesting that cultural differences influence destination evaluations. In general, visitors from Western cultures tended to rate their experience as higher than those from Eastern cultures but the relative magnitude of ratings was not consistent. Of particular note, was that even though visitors from Western cultures rated satisfaction highest, they rated likelihood to return toward the bottom relative to other countries. The results supported previous research that found differences in tourists based on n...
