The study chose visitors of heritage tourism as a research target. A total of 335 visitors who visited heritage sites were interviewed. The researchers executed a 2 (market price: exaggerated market price vs. reasonable market price) × 2 (promotion price: high-depth promotion vs. low-depth promotion) twoway between-subjects design to examine the effects of market price, promotion price, and nostalgia affection on internal reference price, perceived transaction value, and buying intentions for souvenir. The relationship among perceptions of authenticity, nostalgia affection, and buying intention for souvenirs were also examined. SPSS (ver. 18.0) was employed to examine the relationships among all variables. The results are as follows: (1) Exaggerating market price leads to higher internal reference price compared to reasonable market price; (2) Low-depth promotion leads to higher internal reference price compared to high-depth promotion; (3) Internal reference price has a positive effect on perceived transaction value; (4) Perceived transaction value has a positive effect on buying intentions; (5) Visitor nostalgia affection has a positive effect on internal reference price, perceived transaction value, and buying intentions; (6) Perception of authenticity has a positive effect on visitor nostalgia affection; and (7) Nostalgia affection fully mediates the relationships between perception of authenticity and buying intentions. Previous studies related to heritage tourism focused on the examination of the relationships among the perception of authenticity, nostalgia affection, motivation, and revisit intentions. Contrary to previous research, this study expands the research of heritage tourism by examining the effects of price labeling formats of souvenirs in stores at heritage sites along with nostalgia affection for internal reference prices, perceived transaction value, and buying intention for souvenirs. This study also provides practitioners with rich marketing implications. |
