Destination image and service quality are the independent variables; customer satisfaction is the moderator, and customer loyalty is the dependent variable. The researcher examined the moderating role of perceived risk; thus, the present study is based on a moderation and mediation approach. The study found that destination image and service quality directly impact customer satisfaction and loyalty. And perceived risk moderated the significant relationship between customer satisfaction and loyalty.
