Abstract

Empirical evidence of the influences of destination image and perceived destination quality on tourist satisfaction and word of mouth in culinary tourism is still quite limited. This study aimed to test the empirical model of the relationship between the destination image and perceived destination quality with the tourist satisfaction and word of mouth. Data analysis technique used was a structural equation model with a sample of 170 local tourists who visited the culinary tourism destination in Palembang. The results of this study explained that the destination image had a positive and significant impact on tourist satisfaction and word of mouth. Perceived destination quality had a positive and significant impact on the tourist satisfaction and had a positive and insignificant effect on word of mouth. The tourist satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on word of mouth. The results of this study provided theoretical implications for knowledge development and managerial implications for tourism destination managers.
