Abstract

This paper aims to analyze tourists’ satisfaction of religious and cultural in Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai based on Multivariate Ordered Probit Copula model. We selected five temples with a distinctive religion and important monastery of Chiang Mai includes Wat Phra Sing, Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep and Wat Jed Yod. The data of this study were collected from 400 tourists who ever visited all of four temples by using questionnaires. The results reveal that there are five variables that affect to the satisfaction tourists; the potential for attracting tourists, the potential to support tourism, management for tourism, personnel management and marketing strategy for tourism. However, we find that the management for tourism is the most important variable for all of these temples that increase tourists’ satisfaction. All of these results would be important information for developing the strengths and improving the weaknesses in each temple. In addition, the government, the private sector and local people realize to the importance of tourism for conserve, adjust and develop to be better.
