摘要
This research intends to augment the current literature on travel experience by examining the relationships between memorable travel experience and its reminiscence functions. It deploys a mixed method to achieve the study aim, using in-depth interviews and questionnaire surveys. By analyzing 318 study samples with confirmatory factory analyses, this research reveals four dimensions that could best explicate the memorable travel experience (i.e., novelty, social interaction, destination enthusiasm, and learning). Furthermore, memorable travel experience influences the three dimensions of the functions of memorable travel reminiscence (i.e., social, self, and direct). It is noted that memorable travel experience tends to affect social function the most. Relevant implications and suggestions for future study are furnished in the conclusion section.
