چکیده مقاله:

Spirituality is an emerging concept which is being raised in tourism literature, particularly in tourism experience studies; but studies on destination competitiveness are still focusing on the objective aspects of destinations, whereas the subjective concepts such as spirituality have rarely been considered when analysing competitiveness in tourist destinations. Thus, adopting a descriptive approach, this paper has focused on the role of spiritual aspect in competitiveness of a destination. Cohen’s typology of tourism experience is firstly described and then it is discussed that in evaluating the destination competitiveness, tourist typology and both material and spiritual aspects of tourism attractions must be considered; because the mentioned aspects together influence tourists’ perceptions of the destination attractiveness. On the other hand, tourist typology in terms of motivations, objectives and personal characteristics plays a moderating role in relationship between tourist’s perception of destination attractiveness and tourist’s experience , and consequently, tourist’s experience influences his/her perception of the destination competitiveness. Thus, the mentioned relationships have been conceptualized in the present study
