 Bu çalışmanın amacı, Turistik Doğu Ekspresine katılan turistlerin merak ve keşfetme duygularının ziyaret niyetlerine olan etkisini turist memnuniyeti değişkeniyle belirlemektir. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak anket kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın evrenini Ankara-Kars ve Kars-Ankara arasında bir gidiş bir dönüş olmak üzere iki seyahate katılan turistler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri her iki seyahate de katılan ve veri toplama sürecine gönüllü olarak destek veren 185 katılımcıdan, araştırmacıların da seyahatlere katılımıyla elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre Turistik Doğu Ekspresine katılan turistlerin heyecan ve merak duygularının seyahat sırasındaki memnuniyetlerini etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca turistlerin seyahat sırasında yaşadıkları deneyimlerin ve memnuniyetlerinin, seyahat sonrasında tavsiye etme niyetlerini etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma sağladığı ampirik kanıtlarla literatürde önemli bir boşluğu dolduracaktır.
