... The model suggests that the perceived image of a destination is composed of a three-dimensional structure of cognitive, affective, and holistic images. While cognitive image focuses on functional information and affective image emphasizes emotional connection, overall image integrates both cognitive and affective dimensions [12] and is a holistic perception of the destination [13]. Tourists' perception of destination image has a crucial impact on tourism [14], and the favorable perception of destination image affects tourists' willingness to visit tourist attractions [15]. ...
Image perception of tourism destinations plays an important role in destination marketing and management. Considering that long-distance feature information of travel review text is difficult to capture and local key information is ignored, BiLSTM and CNN are improved to propose a travel text classification method based on BERT-BiLSTM-CNN-Attention hybrid neural network model. Taking Sanya City as the research object, we adopt the emotion classification and content analysis methods and construct the tourism destination image perception analysis framework based on the “cognitive-emotional” three-dimensional model, providing a research perspective for the sustainable development of tourism in Sanya City. The results show that the accuracy of the proposed model reaches 93.18%, which is better than other models. Tourists’ perception of destination image includes four aspects: tourism resources, tourism environment perception, tourism infrastructure and supporting services, as well as tourism activities. Positive emotions dominate emotional image, and negative emotions are mainly focused on tourism infrastructure and supporting services. On the overall image perception, tourists have a high evaluation of the tourism image of Sanya City. This research has some implications for tourism destinations, such as improving their management programs, enhancing their marketing strategies, and achieving long-term sustainable development of their destinations.
... However, the current tourism academic community lacks targeted research on the combination of the cultural evolution of tourist destinations and the laws of evolution and spatial changes of tourist destinations. Although related disciplines such as history, geography, and sociology have formed a relatively extensive research system on the formation process, value characteristics, and landscape pattern of tourist destinations, as a complete regional cultural ecosystem [6,7], tourist destinations need to be further understood from the perspective of cultural development. This includes the process, mechanism, and spatial representation of the formation of tourist destination personality [8][9][10]. ...
Tourism destinations are cultural heritage and spatial landscape systems of organic coexistence between humans and the Earth, and are formed through the long historical evolution of a specific geographical environment. With the development of large-scale cultural and tourism projects and the construction of scenic areas, many tourist destinations face conflicts between people and the environment and the crisis of discontinuity in the landscape and the cultural context. The concept of tourist destination personality provides a perspective for studying the interaction between humans and the environment in tourist destinations. However, existing research has not delved into the mechanisms of temporal–spatial interaction and spatial representation of regional cultural heritage in regional systems. Therefore, from the perspectives of geography and urban–rural planning, this study selects traditional villages in ancient Huizhou as the research object and employs relevant theories from cultural ecology to construct a paradigm for analyzing the formation path of tourist destination personality based on a cultural core from a regional systemic perspective. Building on this, this study develops a coupling analysis framework for the “accumulation anchoring” of heritage landscape representation in traditional villages in ancient Huizhou based on a cognitive understanding of tourist destination heritage landscape and a ‘time–space’ interactive model. The research reveals that the formation of personality in traditional villages in ancient Huizhou centers around cultural cores such as production methods, social organizations, construction mechanisms, and social beliefs. It is driven by basic forces such as resource endowment vitality, a social structure driving force, and a historical choice regulatory force, with the logic of forming dominant functions and obtaining expected benefits such as the core. The spatial representation of traditional village heritage in ancient Huizhou exhibits a synergistic evolution mechanism between ‘culture and landscape’. The research process and conclusions provide a basic framework and methodological system for the study of tourist destination personality and heritage revitalization, expanding the understanding of the process of human–environment interaction and spatial patterns in tourist destinations.
... Numerous studies have identified factors influencing travel intention, such as involvement (Yen & Teng, 2015), destination personality (Papadimitriou et al., 2015), destination familiarity (Tan & Wu, 2016), overall destination image (Chaulagain et al., 2019), awareness and novelty (Chi et al., 2020), perceived risk and trust in government (Villacé-Molinero et al., 2021), sociodemographic factors (Peluso & Pichierri, 2021), fear (Peluso & Pichierri, 2021), and destination attachment (Kala, 2021). Broadly, the antecedents of travel intention can be categorized as individual-level factors, destination-related factors, and external influences. ...
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted travel intentions and behaviour, prompting a reevaluation of existing theories and frameworks in the tourism field, but there is currently no comprehensive synthesis of the factors influencing travel intention before and during the pandemic. To close this research gap, this scoping review explores various factors affecting travel intention both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, shedding light on the underlying theories and research topics as well as the geographical scope of research and the factors that constrain or facilitate tourist travel intention. By examining changes in travel intention triggered by the pandemic, the review deepens our understanding of the evolving relationship between global health emergencies and travel intention, enabling a more informed approach to managing and planning for the future of the tourism industry.
... Perceived COO image was measured with a semantic differential item-scale comprising five items adopted from Kaplanidou (2007). Additionally, three items were adapted from Papadimitriou et al. (2015) to assess the intentions to visit and recommend the country, and these items were measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale ('Strongly Disagree' = 1, to 'Strongly Agree' = 5). ...
... The findings also indicate that COO image was a significant predictor of the intention to visit that country, which is in line with previous studies suggesting that the affective aspect of destination image plays an important role on visit intentions (Tosun et al., 2015). This means that individuals' favourable evaluations of a destination contribute to their likelihood of visiting that place due to the expectation of a positive experience (Papadimitriou et al., 2015). It is also worth noting that the magnitude of the effects was indicative a medium effect size (.529-.667) ...
... Similarly, tourists mainly travel in search of authentic experiences through recognizing these images (Wang, 1996). Papadimitriou et al. (2015) suggest that an image can help tourists distinguish one destination from another. Tourists may perceive and behave differently depending on personal characteristics, psychological needs, and destination image factors (Buhalis & Amaranggana, 2014). ...
... In travel satisfaction studies, the indicators of PT service quality attributes usually focus on the functional and service attributes, which are used to measure the passengers' subjective evaluation of PT attributes. These indicators, which are considered crucial indices of travel satisfaction (Olsson et al., 2020;Zhang et al., 2019), can be used to study perceived functional and service values in this study. ...
... Positive perceived value encourages the continuation of related behaviors. When external situations are considered meaningful to individuals, they are usually accompanied by a pleasurable subjective experience (Papadimitriou et al., 2013). Cognitive evaluation is also associated with personal well-being (Bagozzi et al., 1999), and the "cognitive evaluation-emotion-behavior" framework is widely used in marketing, tourism management, and other research fields. ...
As global aging accelerates, serving an aging society through transport development is essential. However, the impact of transport inclusion on active aging remains unclear, especially regarding travel satisfaction and capabilities. The present work establishes a relationship model between transport inclusion perceived value (TIPV) and active aging (AA) that accounts for travel satisfaction (S) and travel capabilities (C). A theoretical framework is proposed for TIPV and AA by exploring the mediation mechanism and regulatory factors that affect AA. The data of this study are derived from the survey data of 521 people over 60 years old in Xi'an in 2022. The study identifies four TIPV dimensions: perceived functional, service, emotional, and social values, the latter two of which are often overlooked. It reveals the mediating role of travel satisfaction in the TIPV-AA relationship with an effect on health, social participation, and subjective well-being. This sensitivity analysis of transport-inclusive travel capabilities offers a theoretical foundation for understanding the four transport inclusion dimensions and practical guidance for creating inclusive transport environments.
... Hultman et al. (2017) also mention that the destination personality of tourists can result from their awareness of advertisements about a destination. According to Papadimitriou et al. (2015), urban destination personality might consist of excitement and sincerity. Excitement is marked by exciting, online, spirited, and original. ...
Ciletuh Geopark is a national park in Indonesia and is part of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network. We found that the study on tourist behaviour related to geoparks still needs to be explored. This study examines the effect of destination reputation, destination personality, and destination trust on destination visit intention and destination preference. This study involved 211. Data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis and a structural equation model. As a result, destination personality influenced destination trust, and destination trust affected destination visit intention and destination preference. Unfortunately, destination reputation could have a compelling influence on destination trust.
... Hamidizadeh et al. (2016) proposes that the formation of destination image and its impact on travel intention is influenced by word of mouth and affective information sources. Papadimitriou et al. (2013) expands on this by highlighting the influence of destination personality and affective image on overall image formation and behavioral intentions in domestic urban tourism. Based on these insights, the following hypothesis is proposed: H7. ...
Abstract
This study investigates the factors influencing travel intentions to rural Chinese
destinations. It focuses on the roles of cultural and historical representation, media
representation, experiential marketing, and the moderating effects of word of mouth.
Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 374 respondents, revealing
that cultural and historical elements significantly shape travel intentions, more so than
conventional marketing and promotion efforts. The study also finds that media
representation significantly influences travel intentions, while experiential marketing's
impact is contingent on its alignment with cultural narratives. Surprisingly, word of
mouth was found to moderate the relationship between marketing and travel intentions.
These findings challenge traditional Experiential Marketing Theory, suggesting a
nuanced approach to tourism marketing in rural China. The study contributes to
theoretical discourse in tourism marketing and offers practical insights for destination
marketers and policymakers in developing culturally congruent and effective strategies
to attract tourists to rural areas.
Keywords: Rural tourism, Cultural representation, Experiential marketing, Travel
intentions, Word of mouth influence.
... Because of emotional visitors, the formed experience becomes more profound and easy to remember. Farther, experiencing memorable travelers over a manner long period will raise impact positively, including the attitude of the traveler (Papadimitriou et al., 2015), frequency of visits (Zatori & Beardsley, 2017), and also performance positive management (Prebensen et al., 2013;Streimikiene et al., 2021). ...
Destination competitiveness is a challenge for the development of tourist attractions. Tourist destinations do not only discuss what attractions tourists can enjoy but are more broadly interpreted as what tourists can experience. This research aims to prove the mediating role of memorable tourism experiences on the relationship between tourist perception and destination competitiveness. The population in this study were tourists who were travelling or had travelled to the Ijen Blue Fire Crater. The population in this study is infinite because valid data was not obtained. The sampling technique used was the purposive sampling method with 150 respondents. The analytical tool used in the research is SEM-PLS with SmartPLS 4 software. The research results prove that tourists' perceptions have a positive and significant effect on the memory tourism experience, and the memory tourism experience has a positive and significant impact on the destination's competitiveness. The urgency of this study is an essential experience for tourists in determining their desire to visit a destination repeatedly. Thus, this research shows that destination competitiveness can be built with methods that arouse emotions and influence tourists with triggers from memorable tourist experiences.
