DOI: 10.1080/15470148.2018.1509038It was brought our attention that the manuscript contains significant overlap with a previously published source:Sameer Hosany, Girish Prayag (2015) Patterns of tourists' emotional responses, satisfaction, and intention to recommend, Journal of Business Research, 66.6, 730–737. DOI: 10.1016/j.jbusres.2011.09.011Following notification, we investigated in accordance with Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines on plagiarism.Overlap includes general paraphrasing of the earlier manuscript, specifically the flow of the introduction, literature review, methodology, results, and references. Therefore, we have determined that publication of retraction is the best course of action.The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted.”
