A total of 419 returned questionnaires were analysed usingthe principal component factor analysis to identify the underlying dimensions of theperceived destination ethics and structural equational modelling to measure and test theresearch hypotheses.Approach – The structural relationship analysis indicates that perceived destinationethics appear to be the principal influence on loyalty, namely the intention to revisitand willingness to recommend.Originality –A pioneering aspect of the research is that it includes the perceiveddestination ethics as a loyalty predictor, as well as considering the relationship betweenpredictors.
