Outcomes from the Components of an Outward Bound Experience (2005, methodology): “While the use of interviews, either conducted in person (Hofstede, Audenaert, Steenkamp, & Wedel, 1998; Klenosky, 2002; Klenosky, Templin, & Troutman 2001; Reynolds & Rochon, 1991; Roth, 1994) or via phone (Bagozzi & Dobholkar, 1994), has remained the preferred and most popular approach to collectin”
Motivation Factors of Ecotourists in Ecolodge Accommodation: The Push and Pull Factors (2007, background): “By contrast, pull factors are associated with tourism destination features, attractions or attributes (Klenosky, 2002; Kozak, 2002), which are tangible features of the destination’s attributes.”
Destination images, holistic images and personal normative beliefs: Predictors of intention to revisit a destination (2016, background): “Moreover, Klenosky (2002) has shown that before tourists make their travel decision, they formulate a more positive affective destination image when the destination-related emotions match their motives and the benefits pursued.”
The Impact of Distance on International Tourist Movements (2008, background): “…process involving the consideration of a bundle of tangible and intangible attributes (Sirakaya and Woodside 2005), with many contextual influences (Decrop and Snelders 2005), where the ultimate choice represents the means by which consumers can gain the multiple benefits they seek (Klenosky 2002).”
Destination food image and intention to eat destination foods: a view from Korea (2017, background): “On the other hand, pull factors (external forces) have been characterised in terms of the attributes of the destination itself (Klenosky, 2002).”
Senior Travelers’ Motivations and Future Behavioral Intentions: THE CASE OF NICE (2012, methodology): “Klenosky (2002) showed that a single pull factor such as beaches can be driven by multiple push factors such as socialization, escape, looking good and healthy.”
Constructing a model of exhibition attachment: Motivation, attachment, and loyalty (2018, background): “While some researchers consider the push and pull factors to be separate (e.g., Dann, 1977), others believe that the two aspects are interdependent (e.g., Klenosky, 2002; Prayag & Ryan, 2011).”
Determinants of Visitor Expenditures in Mountain Tourism (2008, background): “In tourism research, the destination is a frequently used concept to frame and systematize various analyses (for example, Oppermann, 2000; Klenosky, 2002; Uybers, 2003).”
Factors influencing destination image and visit intention among young women travellers: role of travel motivation, perceived risks, and travel constraints (2017, background): “Studies classified travel motivations as push and pull factors (Crompton, 1979b; Dann, 1981; Klenosky, 2002).”
Place-Oriented or People-Oriented Concepts for Destination Loyalty: Destination Image and Place Attachment versus Perceived Distances and Emotional Solidarity (2021, background): “Meeting new people and making new friends (Tasci and Ko 2017) are people-oriented pull factors, while beaches, climate, and natural attractions (Klenosky 2002) are place-oriented pull factors for visiting a place.”
Modeling Iso-Ahola’s Motivation Theory in the Tourism Context (2006, background): “Klenosky (2002) also provided a thoughtful discussion of the push-pull motivational framework using means-end theory.”
