These memorable experiences allow tourists to enjoy the same or similar holiday in the future. However, not every tourist experience is memorable.

In this context, the factors that affect the experience of remembered tourism have been revealed. In order to achieve this aim, a total of 351 questionnaires were administered to the academic and administrative staff of Adıyaman University.

After hedonism, it was seen that other factors, information and meaningfulness that influenced tourists to remember their holidays. However, among the negative experiences recalled by the participants, it was found that the highest price was high, the hotel was far from the city center and the rooms were not spacious.
