“…Specifically, a tourist's pre-trip interest moves from the impersonal scenery and destination related touristic activities to the personal enjoyment and delights they anticipate for themselves and their intimates (Dann, 1993). Consequently, the recognition of conative image as an antecedent of the intention to revisit a destination reintroduces the need to examine conative images, which contradicts the suggestions of previous researchers who considered that the intent or action component of image is analogous to behavior (Çakmak & Isaac, 2012;Gartner, 1996;Hallmann et al 2014;Lee, 2009;Nadeau et al, 2008;Prebensen, 2007;Roth & Diamantopoulos, 2009;Stylidis, Belhassen, & Shani, 2014;White, 2005;Zhang et al 2014) or who disregarded conative image when examining images (Assaker 2014;Bigné, Sánchez & Sanz, 2009;Byon & Zhang, 2010;Hudson et al, 2011;Lam & Hsu, 2006;Lin, Morais, Kerstetter, & Hou, 2007;Ryan & Cave, 2005;San Martin & Rodríguez del Bosque, 2008).…”

This research examines the complex relationship between components of images of destinations and behavioral intentions, incorporating two pivotal constructs that have not been explored in the related literature, namely holistic image and personal normative beliefs (PNBs). Previous studies incorporating destination images as predictors of intention to revisit have mostly investigated their direct effect. This research integrates holistic image as a mediator and PNBs as a moderating variable. The findings verify the mediating role of holistic image for predicting tourists’ intentions to revisit a destination, supporting a model that incorporates a partial effect and two indirect mediations. Interestingly, only affective and conative images contribute to the prediction of tourists’ intentions to revisit a destination through the holistic image towards this destination. Moreover, PNBs moderate the effect that conative destination images have on tourists’ holistic images. Practically, the research sheds light to factors that affect tourists' tendency to select a tourism destination, which can serve as a basis for tailoring the effective positioning of destinations

“…Second, the variables related to the tourism supply chain were measured, such as airline companies, tour operators, travel agencies, and lodging companies [11,71]. Third, the complementary offer of the destination was measured, evaluating sports [72][73][74], leisure [75], shopping centers [76], and theme parks [77,78]. Fourth, the cultural offer has to do with the museums, history, and culture of the population of the tourism destination [79][80][81].…”

Abstract:The competitiveness of a tourism destination depends on the sustainability of its economic and environmental resources. The aim of this paper is to determine the key factors in achieving the sustainability of a tourism destination in relation to the performance obtained. A methodology based on the opinions of stakeholders is developed to determine the sustainability factors and performance in the tourism destination of Gran Canaria. The variables used in the study are related to the environmental resources, the principal agents in the tourism supply chain, the governance of the destination, and the complementary characteristics that improve the competitiveness of the tourism destination, as well as the dimensions that determine security. Performance is measured by stakeholders from two perspectives, the destination and the customers, in order to establish the main variables that will influence the destination's sustainability. The key sustainability factors were identified, and a regression analysis determined that there was a positive influence on long-term performance. The results showed that the key factors that have a direct and significant relationship with performance are the key resources and supply chain, security, alternative leisure, and governance.

“…Previous studies have consistently suggested that psychological benefits of green brands consisted of the following three sub-dimensions: (1) warm glow; (2) self-expressive benefits; and (3) nature experiences [20][21][22]. For instance, Hartmann and Apaolaza-Ibáñez [11] tested the uni-dimensionality of the three sub-dimensions using 432 samples and showed that there is no problem with convergent validity, discriminant validity, or internal consistency in the three sub-dimensions of psychological benefits of green brands.…”

Abstract:In recent years, as natural environmental problems have become more serious, environmentally friendly airlines have been attracting attention from many practitioners and scholars. The purpose of this study was to apply the concept of psychological benefits of green brands in an environmentally friendly airline context. Based on the theoretical relationships between the conceptual constructs, a model was developed and then evaluated using data collected from 322 airline passengers in Korea. The results indicated that the three sub-dimensions of psychological benefits of green brands (i.e. warm glow, self-expressive benefits and nature experiences) help to enhance the overall image of an environmentally friendly airline. Furthermore, the overall image plays an important role in the formation of three outcome variables: intentions to use, word-of-mouth intentions and willingness to pay more. Lastly, gender moderates the relationship between overall image and intentions to use.
