Abstract

Although according to the literature being able to build loyalty in consumers is a key factor in acquiring market share and sustaining a competitive advantage, very little is known about the factors affecting loyalty to a camping site. This study was designed to identify if campers demographic variables and their level of satisfaction with a camping site may be related to their loyalty to the camping site.
