Likelihood of cruise ship passenger return to a visited port: The case of Bar Harbor, Maine
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to examine the factors that affect a cruise ship passenger's intentions of returning to Bar Harbor, Maine, using data from a survey. Empirical results suggest that the distance between a respondent's place of residence and Bar Harbor has a negative effect on the likelihood of return but the total number of visits a passenger has made to Bar Harbor and the amount of time spent in port during the one day visit have a positive effect.
