Abstract: The purpose of this research was to examine empirically the causal relationships among push factors, pull factors, risk perception, tourists’ perceived value and loyalty of Chinese tourists travelling to Ho Chi Minh City. A survey was conducted investigating 470 Chinese tourists to collect the primary data. As a result, Chinese tourists’ loyalty towards Ho Chi Minh City could be predicted by some of their push motivation, pull motivation and their perceived value about the trip or tourists’ services received. Consequently, business organizations and tourism companies should consider the crucial roles of push and pull factors to attract more potential repeated visitors and increase their perceived value and loyal to Vietnam, especially to Ho Chi Minh City in the near future.
