Why is it important?
The assessing Chinese tourists' satisfaction with the shopping experiences in Bangkok using Importance-Performance analysis has not been done before in the Thai context. This technique is simple and easy to understand and can be applied to measuring consumer satisfaction toward other services.
Perspectives
Tourism industry practitioners in the sale department and the metropolitan government responsible for transportation should be aware of the needs of tourists to get access to the shopping venues. Souvenir items producers as well as the sales assistants should be able to pass on the information about the products to the tourists. The consumers need information regarding the use and usefulness of the products, which is helpful for making a purchase decision. Information in Chinese and Chinese speaking skills are important to communicate with Chinese customers.
