The analysis was supported by structural equation modeling of a crosssectional sample of 203 foreign tourists. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire of 22 questions, adapted from the study by Babin, Lee, Kim & Griffin (2005). Regarding the objective of this study, the results suggest that only the latent variables satisfaction and hedonic value are directly related to the intention to recommend a Brazilian tourist destination by foreign tourists. Furthermore, the analysis confirms that tourist satisfaction positively influences intention to recommend the destination, which is consistent with the hypothesis signalized by previous studies Analytic Tourism & Management Studies, n.º 10, issue 1, pp. 104-111 Topical name Turismo - Marketing Geographical name Brasil Form or physical characteristic Artigos em periódicos
