AB Mototourism is a kind of tourism that has consistently been overlooked by tourism experts. However, it is currently considered as one of the fastest growing segments of tourism. This is generating and attracting much attention from researchers. Despite the importance of memorable tourism experiences (MTEs) for destinations, no studies have yet assessed thisaspect in the motorcycle tourism industry. This paper examines the antecedents and consequences of MTEs in this sector. In this respect, the objective of this research is to explorethe concept of mototourism and to propose a structural model with first-order and secondorder constructs. To this end, a survey questionnaire was applied to a sample of 457 Spanish motorcycle tourists, and AMOS software was used for the data analysis. The findings show that motivation is an important precursor of MTEs in the mototourism industry. At the same time, the results show that MTEs have an effect on the satisfaction and behavioural intention in this industry.
