This research aimed to explore the difference of Taiwanese tourists’ destination image on Tourist Night Market in different time periods after deregulating Chinese Tourists traveling to Taiwan. Questionnaires were distributed to Taiwanese tourists visiting Liuhe Night Market. The IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis) approach was used to analyze the destination image of night market before (importance) and after (performance) opening the door to Chinese tourists. Also, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis was conducted to investigate the causal relationships among constructs, such as Destination Image, Tourist Experience, Satisfaction, Loyalty and Revisit Intention. The results showed that Taiwanese tourists were still satisfied with the facilities, service quality and typicality of Liuhe Night Market. However, the satisfaction with the cheap but good product sold there weakened. In addition, the result of path analysis indicated that Taiwanese tourists’ destination image and tourist experience both affected tourist satisfaction and loyalty. As well, tourist loyalty had an impact on their revisit intention. Based on the research findings, suggestions to the management and recommendations for future research were provided. |
