Tourists were asked to rate the expectations of the destination attributes on a Likert Scale (1 strongly
disagree - 5 strongly agree). The highest mean value related to “quality of hotels”, “peaceful
environment”, “attractive beaches”, “reasonable price” with mean expectations values of 4.99, 4.76, 4.74
and 4.7 respectively (Table 2). These were followed by “sunny and warm weather” and “friendliness oflocals” with mean values of 4.64 and 3.91. The lowest score for expectations was obtained by “medical
facilities” (2.02).
