Abstract
The present article attempts to shed light on the importance of trust as a major contributor to repeat tourism, more specifically on the promulgation of trust as a composite of political and socioeconomic elements and the perceived sense of security prevalent in the country under consideration. Using a probit model, the results show that trust is a statistically significant predictor of the probability of repeat and recommended tourism; such a result confirms the theoretical links between trust and tourism. Furthermore, other explanatory variables—which include the level of development of the destination, hotel infrastructure, tourism attractions, promotion of the destinations, and availability of infrastructure—were also found to be significantly correlated with the expected signs in relation to the independent variable. However, cost of living and exchange rate were found not to be significant predictors of repeat or recommended tourism.
