Abstract:

Destinations with strong brands will possibly perform better and hold more value than destinations with unbranded offerings. As sub-Saharan Africa's tourism destinations are becoming increasingly similar, competition among them has become very intense. This research aims to measure tourists' perceptions of KwaZulu-Natal destinations' brand image and brand loyalty. A questionnaire survey of 411 respondents revealed that most tourists are attached to the KwaZulu-Natal destination and will likely return. Furthermore, they are willing to recommend KwaZulu-Natal as a preferred tourism destination t

Many reasons tempt tourists, instigating researchers to analyse their motivations in choosing a destination matching their self-emotional persuasion. Some destinations arouse interest in travelling repeatedly, making tourists loyal owing to the destination's competitive advantage. The study intends to identify the influencing aspects that could cater to tourist satisfaction, thus generating potential loyal tourists; various dimensions of tourist motivations lead to the decision-making for the tourist, and major factors are the destination’s attributes and the destination’s perceived image.

A key element in the product mix of destinations is climate.

Mass tourism has become the preferred travel type for millions of people. All-inclusive (AI) initially emerged as an accommodation type for mass tourism destinations but has evolved to become its own form of tourism. Factors motivating tourists towards a mass-tourism destination offering all-inclusive products may vary according to market segments and demographic attributes. Research shows that cognitive factors that affect a destination’s image, which is one factor that attracts tourists, are not symmetrical in all cases.

Abstract:

The mangrove ecosystems of East Java serve as both critical environmental assets and emerging tourism destinations. However, these destinations face challenges in creating a strong destination brand that connects with tourists and encourages sustainable practices. This paper introduces the CORE (Communication-Oriented Revitalization Enhancement) framework as a conceptual model aimed at strengthening destination branding for the mangrove regions of East Java. CORE integrates communication theories, including Lasswell's Communication Model, Behaviorism, Public Relations, Mass Communication, and

Abstract:

In recent years, it has become evident that gastronomic tourism plays a crucial role in destination development. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of a destination's gastronomy image on behavioral intentions toward that destination and to explore whether customer satisfaction potentially serves as a mediating factor. Within this context, we examined the effects of various components contributing to a destination's gastronomic image, such as culinary culture, food and beverage businesses, and gastronomy activities, on behavioral intentions. We also explored the me

Abstract:

The destination is the focal point of tourism marketing activities. Many definitions of destinations have been proposed in the past, but it remains unclear what a destination is from a consumer perspective at early stages of the destination choice process. Yet, it is the consumer perspective that matters most. The present study investigates consumer perceptions of what a destination is. Results indicate that (1) consumers have a very broad position on what a destination is, (2) the distance between the destination and home affects the size of the geographical area perceived as destination, and

Emerging tourism destinations repeatedly face many managerial challenges, often leading to common pitfalls and rookie mistakes. The current study aims to analyze relationships between destination attractiveness factors (Destination Amenities, Tourism Infrastructure and Accessibility, Active Family Destination, Hospitality and Services, and Social–Safety–Economic Values), satisfaction, destination image, and revisit intentions to test a mediating role of satisfaction between destination attractiveness factors and both destination image and revisit choices within so-called rookie destinations.

Abstract:

Despite a growing concern over sustainability in tourism, research on this domain, regarding, specifically, lake destinations, is still scarce. Although perceptions on lake destinations have been studied, no study is known that has analyzed the impact of visitors’ perceptions on satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Thus, this paper aims to develop and test a model to analyze the effect of lake visitors’ perceptions of destination’s sustainability on both satisfaction and loyalty towards lake destinations.

Abstract:

Virtual reality (VR) is a fast-developing technology with a broad range of use. The tourism industry, more specifically destinations, may benefit from its potential in the near future. By using VR in its marketing strategy, destinations have a substantial influence on the information search process and the decision-making process of potential tourists. Tourists can experience the destination, its atmosphere and possible emotions beforehand. Thus, they can create a more detailed destination image and realistic expectations of their visit. This transfers them into a better position to decide whe

Abstract:

There are two types of destination interdependence; one arises because of people's preferences towards destination activities, and the other because of the locational arrangement of space. Destination interdependence affects spatial behaviour. In a previous paper it was shown that the conventional gravity model can handle neither aspect of destination interdependence. In this paper it is shown that the competing-destinations model, as a reformulated gravity prototype, is at best able to describe only locational structure effects.

Today in Croatia, discordant views can be encountered at local and regional levels regarding responsibilities for the development of towns, municipalities and counties as tourism destinations. This underlines the necessity of establishing a superior tourism organisation that would integrate the interests of local authorities, tourism organisations, tourism supply providers and residents, and that would, on the one hand, possess the legitimate authority, knowledge and vision needed for destination development, while, on the other hand, it would be accountable for the destination’s development.
