Someday some of my grandchildren may get enjoyment out of my Jottings.

    The Effects of Superstition as Destination Attractiveness on Behavioral Intention Yunzhou Zhang Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Hospitality and Tourism Management Muzaffer Uysal, Committee Chair Ken McCleary Vincent P. Magnini May 2, 2012 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: destination attractiveness, superstition attitude, behavioral intention, superstition as destination attractiveness (SADA) The Effects of Superstition as Destination Attractiveness on Behavioral Intention Yunzhou Zhang ABSTRACT Superstitious beliefs date back thousands of years and continue to the present, and research suggests that superstitious beliefs have a robust influence on product satisfaction and decision making under risk. The study therefore examines how superstition attitude will impact potential tourists’ intention to visit a destination so that relevant organizations (e.g. destination management/marketing organizations) could better understand potential tourists’ behaviors, identify a niche market encompassing those prone to superstition, and tailor the tourism products to the needs and beliefs of potential tourists. The study used a survey instrument which consists of four components: the scale of Superstition as Destination Attractiveness (SADA), the revised Paranormal Belief Scale, the measurement of Intention to Visit, and respondents’ demographics and travel experiences. A mixed-method data collection procedure was adopted

Actually, a bit of both! St. Patrick was born in 389 AD so that is A LOT of centuries for tales to be told! They don’t call it the blarney stone for nothing! For example, St Patrick supposedly rid Ireland of all its snakes. While it is true that there were no snakes after Patrick converted the country - there were none there to begin with! And so, the stuff of legends is made! So who WAS this man we celebrate every March 17th? Patrick was born in Bonavern, Britain. At 16 years old he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland, where he would work the land for 6 years, before he finally escaped.
