Aspects of a Psychology of the Tourist Experience
Abstract
Although the literature on experience as such, as well as various concepts pertaining to specific experiences (such as for example landscape experiences or tourist experiences is quite large, this article maintains that some of these conceptions are too ambiguous. Therefore this paper presents a threefold idea of the phenomenon of the tourist experience. Based on a review of tourism literature and general psychological literature it is argued that experiences are influenced by expectancies and events and that they remain or are constructed in the individuals' memory, forming the basis for new preferences and expectancies. Such a cognitive approach to the concept of experience highlights the distinction between the tourist event and its precursors and effects. At the same time this approach highlights the importance of the experiencing subject in constructing a meaningful concept of tourist experiences.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
