Given its undoubtable relevance in motivating human behavior, we propose curiosity as a single push motive by examining its causal relationships with destination attributes (evaluated in holistic way), attitude toward destination, and loyalty. In particular, we tested a new research model on a sample of 273 potential Brazilian travelers to Europe by using a structural equation modeling approach. Sample size is in line with the state-of-the-art in literature (Ciasullo et al., 2017). The data moderately well fitted the “curiosity model” and the findings highlighted that curiosity plays a crucial role in shaping attitude and pull motivation, and in influencing tourist loyalty. Consequently, destination managers or European Union institutions should magnify the role of curiosity, attitude towards destination, and pull motivations in terms of marketing policies. 2019 artículo científico 1982-6125 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=504162229009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5041/504162229009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5041/504162229009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5041/504162229009/504162229009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5041/504162229009/movil 10.7784/rbtur.v13i3.1596 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5041 Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Turismo application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Turismo Revista Brasileira de Pesquisa em Turismo (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.13
