  • This article proposes the investigation of the influence of destination quality and service aspects on travel satisfaction and tourist intentions to recommend the destination or to revisit the destination. This article looks at tourism satisfaction in two main cities in China: Beijing and Shanghai. For our sample we compare the satisfaction level of the East and West travellers. We selected 172 Taiwanese tourists and 144 Dutch tourists who visited Beijing and Shanghai as our respondents.
    Moreover, this study is built upon a model to explain the role of travel satisfaction with leisure travel and tourism service quality plus destination quality and how tourist’s post-visit evaluations affect their holiday experience, their future intentions regarding to revisit or recommend the place to others. Besides, this paper examines the importance and the power of different factors on revised travel intentions such as shopping, dining, lodging, and local attractions. Statistical tests were employed to analyze the data collected including descriptive data analysis, reliability test, factor analysis, t-test, and lisrel. Results should suggest that the proposed conceptual framework is applicable for tourism managers to apply in their research or for their marketing purpose.
