Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to examine the relevance of the price-quality assessment as an antecedent or subsequent event to tourist satisfaction, as well as their impact on visitor loyalty and the possibility to recommend the destination. It was done through two research models supported with data from land international visitors to Baja California, Mexico. At this destination, besides the importance of satisfaction for competitiveness, the positive perception of cost per satisfied visitor also allows to reconsider the price in favor of the offer. This research confirms the significance of price-quality in both models. In the first model, an exploratory purpose is best fulfilled having the price-quality assessment as an antecedent to satisfaction, while the second model seems to fit a predictive goal when the value is a consequence of satisfaction.
