Domestic Tourists’ Behavioral Intentions: Insights from a Review Study

Domestic tourism has become increasingly important for sustaining the industry, yet limited research has explored the behavioral intentions of local travelers. To address this gap, the paper develops an integrative framework that links motivational factors, perceived benefits, satisfaction, and behavioral intention. Unlike studies earlier that mostly focused on international contexts or emphasized direct relationships, the proposed framework highlights the mediating influence of perceived benefits and satisfaction, offering a more comprehensive perspective on tourist behavior. The originality of this work lies in advancing theoretical insights through a synthesized framework, providing a deeper understanding of the factors influencing domestic tourism and supporting the development of sustainable tourism strategies.
