Transformative experience has been the buzzword in recent years. Tourism and hospitality experiences in natural, historical, cultural, and authentic spaces are some of them. However, to this date, specific dimensions of transformation or its process have not been empirically identified. This study reviewed the literature on transformation, used open-ended questions to collect free-elicited responses on the meanings of transformation, collected expert opinion, and developed a 101-item scale reflecting different dimensions and the steps of the transformation process. The scale was validated with a sequential scale validation procedure; Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) were used to test the psychometric properties of the scale and model the constructs of the transformation process. A measurable definition of the transformation process is provided along with the tested model. A comprehensive model with antecedents, outcomes, and moderators of transformation is also suggested to further transformation research.

近年来，变革经验一直是流行语。在自然，历史，文化和真实空间中的旅游和款待经验就是其中一些。但是，到目前为止，还没有凭经验确定转型的具体维度或其过程。这项研究回顾了有关转换的文献，使用开放式问题来收集关于转换含义的自由引发的回应，收集专家意见，并制定了一个反映不同维度和转换过程步骤的101项量表。通过顺序量表验证程序验证量表；使用主成分分析（PCA）和偏最小二乘-结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）来测试量表的心理测量特性，并对转换过程的构造进行建模。随测试模型一起提供了转换过程的可测量定义。还建议使用具有转换的先因，结果和调节器的综合模型来进一步进行转换研究。
