description Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a questionnaire on tourist experience expectations, and to conduct a qualitative study to analyze the factors and related texts of the questionnaire.Design methodology approach - A content analysis on travel diaries written by museum tourists was conducted to develop a questionnaire of tourist experience expectations (TEE). The survey results were analyzed by factor analysis.Findings - The tourism experience expectations include five factors: experience expectations of easiness and fun; cultural entertainment; personal identification; historical reminiscences; and escapism. In addition to these factors, this study reorganized the travel diaries to extract representative texts for narrative analysis, in order to develop the situational factors of tourist experiences.Research limitations implications - This study only investigated museum tourists in Taiwan, and thus the scope for wider application of the results is limited.Practical implications - The study findings revealed that during a trip, appropriate situational factors - including satisfying tourists' curiosity and intimate locations or events that trigger tourists' active participation - resulted in pleasant experiences for the tourists and could possibly lead to future experience expectations.Originality value - The paper explores museum tourists' experience expectations in Taiwan.
