Abstract
This research note explored the less-understood relationships between customer delights and revisit intention. We draw on extant literature to develop and propose a new conceptual framework underpinned by cognitive appraisal theory, theory of planned behavior, and attachment theory. This conceptual note proposed relationships between customer engagement (CE), customer experience (CX), place identity, and value co-creation between customer delight and revisits intention. This note offers insights on the essential role of customer delight in tourism, supporting effective interactions with CE, CX, place identity, and value co-creation for destination strategy development. This is one of the earliest initiatives to reinvent the wheel of customer delight in tourism to encourage tourist behavior intentions.
