Border Landscape and Tourism: a new perspective of town development by using Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The complexity of the interconnections between border landscapes and tourism has given rise to research with multiple interpretations. Indeed, many studies about border towns, but little is known about integrating border landscape and tourism. This research is aimed 1) to review the literature relating to tourism landscape, and 2) to investigate cross-border travelers expectations by using the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). This study employed both quantitative research methods, with 384 questionnaires. The results showed that the Hospitality of local people and Similarity of the language and culture are the most Importance and Performance factors for making a decision. The results can demonstrate how an IPA can allow authorities to understand their priorities in order to plan tourism in a border town development appropriately.
