| Tiivistelmä: | In the leisure literature, research which examines the relationship between involvement and place attachment has started to emerge. This paper reports the findings of a study, which applied these constructs within a tourism context. A survey was conducted with tourists in five South Australian tourism regions. This survey measured respondents' attitudes towards tourism experiences in South Australia. Involvement was conceptualised as a multidimensional construct consisting of four dimensions: attraction, centrality to lifestyle, self expression and food&wine. Place attachment was also conceptualised as a multidimensional construct of place dependence and place identity. The findings revealed that the combined use of involvement and place attachment is applicable in tourism. |
