Thus, this paper analyses the duration of the stay in relation to motivation, satisfaction, image, repetition and recommendation of leisure tourists in an urban destination. The main contribution of this article is to highlight the differences and similarities between the behaviours of short and long breakers for the constructs mentioned, not developed until now. The theoretical model is validated using a structural equation modelling methodology. The sample size is 10,953 tourists visiting the city of Barcelona, relevant for its increasing tourism appeal. Results confirm that differences and similarities are found for those tourist segments. By way of example it is worth mentioning that the repeat visits have a negative effect on tourists’ recommendation, in particular in the case of long break as compared with short break tourists Attribution 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Turisme urbà -- Catalunya -- Barcelona Tourisme urbain -- Catalonia -- Barcelona Turistes -- Catalunya -- Barcelona Tourists -- Catalonia -- Barcelona Turisme -- Màrqueting Tourism -- Marketing Differences between short and long break tourists in urban destinations: the case of Barcelona info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion peer-reviewed
