This study attempts to address the deficiency of cross-cultural research in cultural tourism
consumption. Drawing data from tourists visiting selected cultural sites in the island of
Mauritius, it investigates the cross-cultural behavioural intentions (revisit intentions,
willingness to recommend) on a sample of 541 tourists across different nationality groups.
Using multinomial logistic regression, significant differences were observed across the
respondents’ behavioural intentions, perceived authenticity, information search behaviour and
destination image. The empirical results indicated that the significant cultural differences
observed would have a range of implications for destination planners, marketers and
managers. In conclusion, the need for further cross-cultural behaviour research in a cultural
tourism context was advocated.
