Vietnam is rated as one of the 10 countries with the fastest tourism growth in the
world The year 2019 marks the competitiveness index of Vietnam's tourism which
is continuously improved in the rankings of the World Economic Forum (WEF) In
3 times of ranking (every 2 years), Vietnam's tourism increased by 12 places, from
75/141 economies (in 2015) to 63/140 in 2019 In recent years, many Tourist destinations have developed as a tourist brand, attracting many domestic and
foreign tourists
Brand experience is a practical test that identifies what the brand says (promotes
the brand) with what the brand offers We do not distinguish between visible or
invisible sides; rationality or awakening of a brand The most important and most
important thing is whether the brand can fulfill its commitments and bring positive
values to improve the quality of life of people Destinations are amalgamations of tourism products which give consumers an integrated experience Destinations are
historically seen as well-defined geographical areas, such as a region, an island or a
town (Davidson & Maitland, 1997 Hall, 2002)
12| Page
Trang 12Branding of destinations started to gain popularity in the late 90's (Oppermann,
2000) Being the core theme of the Annual Conference of the Travel & Tourism Research Association 1998 caused some of its exposure (Ritchie & Ritchie, 1998)
Many examples of destination branding were presented at this conference, such as
Canada, Oregon, New Orleans, Hawaii, among others (Ritchie & Ritchie, 1998),
development (Gnoth 1998) the topic had previously been developed by
researchers in the field of image study of destinations (Ritchie & Ritchie 1998)
In short, Brand experience is the feeling of customers when directly contacting the
brand or using the product The results of actual exposure to the brand can range from very disappointing to very enjoyable Such long-lasting brand impressions,
which are stored in customer memory, can influence consumer satisfaction and
loyalty over time (Oliver, 2000; Reicheld, 1996)
Aim of study
The aim of this research is to determine whether Destination Brand Experience is a
significant determinant of the visitor outcomes including satisfaction, intention to
revisit a destination and word-of-mouth intention and whether the perceived risk
affects travelers’ travel decisions In particular, by using an experience model and a
range of destinations, I would like to determine which elements of DBE impact on
the visitor feeling
Trang 13Significant of study
The intention to return to a customer's destination and the intention to introduce the destination to those around him play a significant role in the development of that place Recognizing the influence of customers' travel experience on the development of a tourist destination, there have been many studies on this topic in
the past: (Almeyda-Ibafiez_& George 2017, Barnes Mattsson, & Sorensen,
2014), However, the results of these research have not been consistent This research will supplement experimental evidences about the effect of “Destination
brand experience” to revisit intention and word- of- mouth intention and in the
increasingly complex situation of the Covid-19 epidemic, I hope that this study
will help us to assess the impact of the disease on tourist intentions From there,
give suggestions and solutions to improve DBE in particular and tourism development in general

Trang 14Chapter 1: Literature review
1 Marketing Concept in Tourism
Numerous conceptualizations have been applied in the emerging literature on
tourism marketing to clarify and describe tourist behaviour, most of them adapted
from the conventional marketing literature (J L Aaker, 1997, Keller, 1993), One
main strand of literature within this changing literature base is that on destination
branding Table 1 offers an overview of main branding principles relevant to
marketing literature and adapted to the sense of tourism In each case the original
concept name and early marketing references are given in the tourism research
literature along with the name and a selected description of the adapted term

2 Destination Branding Literature
Much work in the field of destination branding has centered on destination image,
Trang 17Sanchez, & Sanchez, 2001), while more recently some researchers have tried to
incorporate destination image with other branding principles (Hosany et al 2006:
Nandan 2005) In conclusion, the destination branding literature has grown
significantly over the past decade and a half, and has had important consequences
for the management of travel destinations, evolving into a rich source of practical
research (Boo et al 2009; Buhalis 2000).(Brakus et al 2009) shows that the
existing brand structure does not provide comprehensive, general concepts, not
including the entire experience impacting on consumer behavior from which we
have not fully stimulated the brand Brand experience helps us to evaluate a gestalt
of experiences fully and properly "Brand experience" is about what customers
feel, feel and respond to a brand (Brakus et al., 2009)
(Brakus et al., 2009) has also been shown that most customer experience studies
have focused on the characteristics and attributes of products and goods They
inspect philosophical, intellectual and marketing experience literature to expand
the concept and measurement of brand experience From research of (Brakus et al
2009), previous work of (Pine, Pine & Gilmore, 1999) in peddle environments and Schmitt, 1999) for a variety of consumer product brands, Brakus classified five
key areas of consumer experience: sense, feel, think, act and relate
(Brakus _et_al., 2009) “Today we can easily recognize that tourist destinations
around the world are introducing and promoting in the same way They use images
of nature, people, general messages and emphasis: “escape and discovery” —
Ritchie & Hudson, 2009) studied for Canada and pointed out that: To compete
tourism with countries around the world, Canada must implement a good strategy
“Brand Canada” - Branding the destination experience instead of the physical
characteristics of its travel, catching the attention of the user with a more
compelling and urgent purpose to visit
18| Page
Trang 18Wongpan_& Khamwon, 2016) has been a study on "Destination Brand
Experience, Satisfaction, and Behavioral Intention" of tourists The MICE
industry's destination brand experience at Khon Kaen consisted of 4 dimensions
sensory, affective, behavioral, and intellectual experience These factors reflect
research carried out in the context of tourist attractions in Denmark and Sweden
(Barnes et al., 2014) Destination brand experience, through satisfaction, has
explicitly and indirectly affected behavioral intent The brand experience model of
destination has succeeded in explaining 73 per cent of the variance in behavioral
intent, which includes word-of - mouth and revisit intentions It confirms that in a MICE tourism this marketing principle is a significant factor in conduct purpose
The study's findings help increase knowledge and insight into the literature on, tourism marketing
Brand experience arguably a very important tool to gain a competitive advantage
(Kumar _& Kaushik, 2018) conducted with the purpose of criticizing the performance of destination brand experience (DBE) in determining the holistic view of tourism destinations Results also show that DBE affects all tourist behavioral results, namely trust in the destination and loyalty to the destination
With regard to the relationship between brand recognition and loyalty, the results
are consistent with previous research (D.A Aaker & Joachimsthaler, 2004; Kuenzel & Halliday, 2008
In the sense of tourism destinations, some researchers have also demonstrated
support for this relationship (between identity and loyalty) (Stokburger-Sauer, 2011) Similarly, current literature also supports finding the relationship between
DBE and Destination Trust, Satisfaction in both studies (So et al., 2013; Williams,
2001) Finally, the results indicate that destination trust has a positive and
Trang 19important impact on destination loyalty, consistent with the findings in the current
branding literature (Delgado- Ballester & Munuera- Aleman, 2001),
However, previous studies have not shown the Destination Brand Experience
relationship with the satisfaction and intention to return of visitors in the field of tourism
20| Page
Trang 20Chapter 2: Theoretical Framework and Hypotheses
1: Theoretical framework
Brand experience refers to all forms of goods and services like nuanced
experiential goods such as those used in tourism (Buhalis, 2000) There is a established literature that connects aspects of destination branding to satisfaction
and brand loyalty including the scales mentioned above (Chi & Qu 2008, Nam,
Ekinei, & Whyatt, 2011)
Similarly, (Brakus et al., 2009), building on the earlier work of(Pine et al 1999),
note that ' since experience offers meaning, we believe that the more experience the brand evokes, and thus the higher the overall score on the scale, the more satisfied the customer would be with the brand’ (p 63) They argue that this would
impact future-oriented decision-making because brand interactions produce pleasurable results: consumers are more likely to make repurchase and recommend
to others(Brakus et_al 2009) However, previous studies have not shown the
Destination Brand Experience relationship with the satisfaction and intention to
return of visitors in the field of tourism
Therefore, I believe that this study will bring an objective and meaningful result to understanding and examining the relationship of Destination Brand Experience with Behavioral Intention (Through tourists’ satisfaction) because visitor loyalty is
often measured through two main structures: the visitor's intention to review the
destination and their willingness to recommend the place to others It is important
to note that the model of brand experience structures can vary depending on the
Trang 211.1 Destination Brand Experience concept
Brand is a term that is mentioned frequently in both academic and practical terms
The definition of brand is very diverse, however, they can be classified into two main points: traditional and integrated (Tho & Trang, 2008) According to the
traditional view, "A trademark is a name, a word, a sign, a symbol, a drawing or a combination of the above factors in order to identify a product or service of a seller and differentiate products (services) from competitors ” From a general point of
view, a brand is not just a name, a symbol (tangible aspects) but it is much more
complex: A brand is a collection of expectations and associations from the
experience of customers with a product (company) (Davis 2002) From this
perspective, the brand is considered to be a broad element in which the product is
an integral part of the mission of satisfying the needs of its customers
Destination is a complex concept and is perceived by different goals From a
traditional point of view, a destination is considered a well-defined geographic area; such as a country, an island or a town (Hall, 2002) As a result, destinations
are often divided by geographical and political barriers However, many researchers have considered the destination to be a perceptual concept, which can
22| Page
Trang 22be subjectively perceived by tourists, depending on the travel itinerary, culture, and
purpose of visit, educational level
Brand experience is conceptualized as sensations, cognitions, and behavioral
responses evoked by brand-related stimuli that are part of a brand's design and
identity, packaging, communications High brand experience influence satisfaction,
and loyalty
Destination brand experiences also combine intellectual experiences that challenge
people to think about a branded place These brand experiences can result from
behavioral experiences that involve a tourist’s performing actions such as fly the
kite, and dancing (Brakus et al., 2009) Destination brand experiences (DBE) may also become affective by having time with loved ones and participating in
activities(Brakus et al., 2009; Kim, Ritchie, & Tung 2010) For example, Quang
Nam develops tourism in Hoi An in the image of an "ancient city imbued with the
traditional culture of the nation" Tourists coming to Hoi An experience as in the years "very ancient", very "peaceful" and friendly with nature
1) Sensory brand perception refers to body perceptions focused on visual, aural, gustatory and tactile sensations, such as the sound of outdoor market activity, the taste of food, the feeling of sand underneath one's feet, the
beauty of the skyline of the area, or the scent of the forest
2) Behavioral brand experience refers to physical actions, physical experiences,
such as being encouraged to dance in the ocean's nightclub or windsurf
3) Eventually, intellectual brand experience refers to thinking, curiosity
enhancement and problem-solving, e.g a thought-provoking museum
display or purchase of economic souvenirs
Trang 231.2 Satisfaction concept
Traveler satisfaction is regarded as the satisfaction of the tourist destination It
includes satisfaction on many sides (restaurants, hotels, the environment, people, ), Customer satisfaction is an important factor that decides the intention to return
to travel and introduce tourist destinations to everyone
In order to compete with other famous destinations, the tourist destination must put
customer satisfaction first, making customers feel they are more important than
anything (Confente 2015; Oh Fiore, & Jeoung 2007) developed a measurement called SERVQUAL to assess the quality of services and products SERVQUAL is
widely applied in the fields of service with five important elements
e Tangibility: Quality of equipment, physical facilities, personnel, and
communication materials
© Reliability: The ability of provider’s to deliver the promised service in a
dependable and accurate manner
* Responsiveness: The willingness of the provider and employees to help
customers and provide service quickly
e Assurance: The knowledge and kindness of employees as well as their
ability to convey trust
e Empathy: Ability to provide care and attention to customers
Customer satisfaction brings benefits related with destination performance Much
research (Chea_& Luo, 2008; Gounaris, Dimitriadis, & Stathakopoulos 2010;
Szymanski & Henard, 2001) provides the outcomes of customer satisfaction:
© Consumers’ complaining behavior
© Loyalty towards brand
24| Page
Trang 24* Recommendation
© Intention to repurchase / repeat visits
(Kau & Lim, 2005; Kozak & Rimmington, 2000; Yu & Goulden, 2006) indicates that the higher the level of satisfaction, the higher the intention to return to that
tourist destination Tourists introduce destinations to relatives and friends to make
the destination more popular and arouse the desire to explore the word "potential
tourists" Satisfaction also brings financial benefits when reducing marketing costs
while still attracting new potential customers
1.3 Behavioral Intention
Behavioral intention comes from Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Theory of
Planned Behavior (TPB), emphasize that the actual behavior can be predicted from
intention which is directly related to the behavior (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1980)
Behavioral intention includes “Revisit Intention” and “Word of mouth Intention”
Behavioral Intention comes from the love, beliefs of tourists to the destination that
left them impressed
2 Hypotheses
HO: Different gender influences the decision to return to your destination
Fang, Wen, George, & Prybutok, 2016) has a research provides a framework for
exploring the effect of gender and age on perceived interest, in order to better
Trang 25on a survey of 651 online shoppers, the empirical evidence shows that both age and
sex can affect the intention to buy back online Applied to tourism, I want to examine the relationship between gender and my intention to return to the tourist destination
H1 A positive Sensory Destination Brand will boost visitor satisfaction with the
destination.(Agapito, Valle & Mendes, 2014) found that sensory dimensions of destinations have become the subject in the cycle of promoting meaningful tourism
encounters as an important element This research explores a systematic approach
to the five external human senses, with the goal of collecting concrete sensory- informed themes that are suitable for segmenting rural visitors 181 visitors in
Portugal have compiled a self-administered survey in four languages An analysis
of various communication reveals four sensory-informed patterns, tentatively
referred to as common beach-related experience, experience focused on nature,
calm experience, and rural experience The concepts introduced lead to a four-
solution tourist cluster that offers various profiles The largest section corresponds
to the rural experience, to which tourists relate mainly to the taste of local food and the smell of fresh air (Agapito Mendes & Valle 2013) discussed the theoretical underpinnings of the sensory dimension of tourist experiences, and to examine the
methodologies and managerial findings of the empirical research, following a holistic approach to the human senses in terms of the destination overall
experience In this study it is argued that the analysis of the sensory dimension of
tourist experiences is relevant, since: (a) human senses are crucial to the individual’s perception of the world; (b) sensory stimuli influence consumer
behavior; and (c) places and environments, such as destinations, are multi-
sensorial, providing multi-sensorial encounters Therefore, multi-sensory
26 | Page
Trang 26information regarding tourist experiences seem to be important in destination
marketing and management
H2 A positive: Behavioral Destination Experience will boost visitor satisfaction Ozturk & Gogtas 2016) analyzed data collected in Honolulu , Hawaii for the
island of Oahu in 2013 Satisfaction with attributes like transportation, health, on-
shore activities or sightseeing tours and prices have a strong impact on destination
satisfaction The findings delineate the variables that planners and managers will
concentrate on in their attempts to improve customer satisfaction with a destination
and thereby increase the probability of return visits and positive word of mouth
H3 A positive: Intellectual Destination Experience will increase visitor
satisfaction Other work has shown a positive relationship between intellectual
destination brand experience and satisfaction (Chinomona, 2013; Sahin, Zehir, &
Kitapgi, 2011; Taleghani, Largani, & Mousavian, 2011) The same findings were also found by , and by Barnes et al (2014)
H4 Visitor intention to revisit the destination is influenced by higher visitor satisfaction (Raza Siddiquei Awan & Bukhari, 2012) has found a connection
between quality of service, perceived interest, loyalty and desire to revisit in the
hotel industry First of all the relation between the dimensions of service quality and the dimensions of perceived value was important But only one dimension
(consistency in service) has a positive relation,
Trang 27There is a strong body of literature related to tourist satisfaction, commonly seen as
a post-purchase assessment (Oliver, 2000) , and destination loyalty in the tourism
context (Alexandris, Kouthouris, & Meligdis, 2006; del Bosque & San Martin
2008) In marketing studies it has been shown that, when customers are satisfied
with the product they buy and use, they will intend to return to buy and continue using the product Moreover, customers are willing to share and introduce good
products to those around them to become new customers (Reicheld, 1996; Van den
Poel & Lariviere 2004) In the field of tourism, the relationship between fear of
customer satisfaction and the intention to introduce their products also has a
positive relationship This has been proven in many previous studies (Assaker,
Vinzi, & O’Connor, 2011; Campo-Martinez, Garau-Vadell, & Martinez-Rui:
2010; Yuksel, Yuksel, & Bilim, 2010),
2013)found an important mediating effect for satisfaction between product or
service quality and customer loyalty (Brakus et _al 2009)state that: ““brand
experience is also likely to result in further processing and thus affect satisfaction and loyalty indirectly’’ (p 63) and demonstrate experimental evidences for equal
direct and indirect effects of brand experience on loyalty (is shown through
satisfaction) However, as yet, the role of satisfaction in mediated relationships
between individual brand experience components and loyalty is not been analyzed
We therefore intend to explore the mediating role of satisfaction between a model
28| Page
Trang 28of individual Destination Brand Experience constructs and brand loyalty
components
H6 A negative: Perceived Risk will decrease visitor revisit intention
Despite the importance of perceived travel risk and destination image,
relatively few studies address the impact of perceived travel risk on
destination image creation and the role of destination image mediation That
study (Chew & Jahari, 2014) draws new insights by analyzing (1) the impact
of perceived risks on the destination image, and (2) the mediating role of
destination image between perceived risks and the revisiting intention of
repeat tourists to a risky destination The study found substantial linkages between two perceived travel risks and the picture of the destination In re- forming cognitive and affective perceptions of the destination, Malaysian
repeat visitors are likely to be affected both by socio-psychological risk and
financial risk

Trang 30Chapter 3 Methodology
3.1: Research Design
Quantitative research is defined by collecting quantifiable data and performing
statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques as a systematic investigation
of phenomena Quantitative research uses sampling methods to collect information
from existing and potential customers, and to send online surveys, online surveys,
questionnaire After having understood these numbers carefully to predict the future of a product or service and make changes accordingly This research used a
survey to examine relationships between variables in order to identify the
hypothesis and to describe the connection 5 elements (SEN, BEH, INT, SAT, RET,
questionnaire was created and sent to potential participants at no cost thanks to the
online Google form Another reason is the questionnaire is used because of confidentiality forthe respondents It allows complete invisibility, which
maximizes the comfort of those who respond This confidentiality keeps
respondents at ease and encourages them to answer (Debois, 2016)
Trang 313.2: Sampling
When researchers conduct research about a group of people, it’s rarely possible 1a
collect data from every person in that group Instead, researchers select a sample
The sample is the group of individuals who will actually participate in the research
There are two types off sampling methods: Probability sampling volves random
selection, allowing you to make statistical inferences about the whole group Non-
prabability sampling involves non-random selection based on convenicnee or other criteria, allowing you to easily collect initial data Results of 300 questionnaires
sent, the author collected 289 responses (96.3% rate) After that, removing the next
43 votes {ratio 14.9%) did not meet the demand because tourists lacked
information in the investigating factors ‘Ihe results obtained 246 satisfactory
questionnaires for official analysis The number of collected samples is classified
and aggregated, Valid samples are processed and analyzed via SPSS 22.0 software
T use the frequency analysis table to scan all observed variables to find the
variables with missing or missing information using SPSS 22.0 software The
results showed that no variables were found to have false information As such, the
data has been cleansed and analyzed
