Abstract

Many influences affect tourists' memory and evaluation of the destinations. The order in which a set of destinations are visited has never been carefully explored. Building on the psychology literature about the order effects, and using a questionnaire approach, the researchers investigated the links among the order in which the destinations were visited and the recall and the perceived favorability of cities among group tour participants in Iran. Working with a diversity of naturally occurring tour itineraries, it was established that primacy and recency effects existed between the order of visit and tourists' recall. Further, these primacy and recency effects were linked to judgements of the most favored city. Finally, recall and judgement of favorability were found to be linked. The study raises several possibilities for tour designers to manipulate the order in which destinations are visited to enhance memorability and positive appraisals, both useful outcomes for business wellbeing.
