Abstract

This study aims to examine the determinants of tourist continuance intention in halal tourism in Indonesia and extend the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model by incorporating sustainable tourist citizenship behavior (STCB) and tourists’ emotional events and past halal experiences to provide a rounded understanding of Muslim tourists’ revisit intentions. This quantitative study employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the data collected from 500 Muslim tourists who visited halal destinations in West Sumatra. The findings reveal that their STCB, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influence their continuance intention. Moreover, the empirical findings indicate that tourists’ emotional events and past halal experiences positively affect the TPB constructs, further strengthening the behavioral outcomes. All the proposed hypotheses were supported by the model and highlight the critical roles of psychological, experiential, and behavioral factors in shaping tourist loyalty. The results of this study contribute to the theoretical advancement of halal tourism behavior and offer practical suggestions for destination management to enhance sustainable engagement and repeat visitation among Muslim travelers.
