For this purpose, two studies and two analysis tools—PLS-SEM and fsQCA—were employed to conduct examinations in the context of two different target destinations (France and China). Findings revealed that travel constraints and travel motivations generally influenced destination choice. However, it was found that PLS-SEM and fsQCA results were not compatible for some relationships. In light of this and further findings, it was observed that the matter of destination choice is complex by nature. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.John Wiley and Sons Ltd2021Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/13191https://doi.org/10.1002/jtr.24791099-2340enInternational Journal of Tourism Researchinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/13191
