Many studies have modeled several different concepts to explain destination loyalty; however, none have integrated place-oriented (e.g., destination image, place attachment) and people-oriented concepts (e.g., cultural distance, social distance, and emotional solidarity) for their relative influences on loyalty. The current study tested the influence of destination image (place-oriented) and perceived distances (people-oriented) as antecedents of place attachment (place-oriented) and emotional solidarity (people-oriented) for their relative influences on destination loyalty. Survey data collected from both domestic (n=260) and international (n=250) visitors to a city in Turkey, Antalya, revealed that place-oriented concepts (cognitive and affective destination images and place attachment) are better predictors of destination loyalty than people-oriented concepts (cultural distance, social distance, and emotional solidarity). Together, they explain about half of the variance in destination loyalty, 42% in past loyalty and 60% in future loyalty.

许多研究已经建模了几种不同的概念来解释目的地忠诚度。但是，没有一家公司因其对忠诚度的相对影响而整合了以地点为导向（例如目的地形象，地点依恋）和以人为本的概念（例如文化距离，社交距离和情感团结）。当前的研究测试了目的地形象（以地点为导向）和感知距离（以人为本）的影响作为场所依恋（以地点为导向）和情感团结（以人为导向）对目的地忠诚度的相对影响的先决条件。从国内（n = 260）和国际（n= 250）前往土耳其安塔利亚城市的游客发现，与以人为本的概念（文化距离，社会距离和情感团结）相比，以地点为导向的概念（认知和情感目的地图像和地点依恋）是目的地忠诚度的更好预测指标。他们一起解释了目的地忠诚度差异的一半，过去忠诚度的42％和未来忠诚度的60％。
