“…Generally, some of the most frequently mentioned affective image attributes were similar with those mentioned in a study of Y. H. Lin, et al (2012) whose interviewees described the atmosphere of Taiwan as being relaxing, exciting, and pleasant. In addition, it was interesting that one visitor mentioned that his feelings toward Taiwan had changed from estranged to familiar after his visit.…”

“…The amount of travel cost and time IBTs spend on their travel arrangements and accommodations has decreased in recent years; however, IBTs still are more sensitive to travel time compared to non-business travellers (BulchandGidumal et al, 2011). According to Lin and Chen (2012), business travellers spend less time in the transport terminals and experience higher level of time pressure compared to leisure travellers. Assaf et al (2013) measured firm performance using both desirable and bad outputs.…”

Few researchers have examined travellers' experience with destinations despite the importance of their attitudes, behaviour and perception in selecting destinations. Current study aims to examine the relationship between risk perceptions, motivation, information source, travel experience and destination image among experienced international business travellers in Iran. The total number of 234 valid questionnaires was collected from international business travellers and structural equation modelling was employed using partial least squares path-modelling analysis to assess measurement and structural model for reflective constructs. Our empirical results support the negative relationship between destination image and risk perception, travel experience and risk perception while information sources were found to be unrelated to travellers risk perceptions. The results further shown that information sources and destination image, information sources and motivation, motivation and travel experience and destination image are related. However, the partial least squares-multigroup analysis results reveal that the significance of path coefficients differs across various demographic subgroups. Moreover, our results support experience and risk perception as a second-order reflective construct. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed along with a discussion on research limitations.

Analysing the image of Abu Dhabi and Dubai as tourism destinations – The perception of first-time visitors from Germany

The Middle East is one of the fastest growing tourism regions in the world. Especially Dubai (since the 1980s) and Abu Dhabi (since the 1990s) have invested heavily in tourism development to firstly enhance their recognition as international destinations and secondly to diversify their economies away from the oil production. Surprisingly, there is a lack of academic published articles on those two emirates’ international destination image. This paper attempts to fill this gap by studying and comparing the images of Abu Dhabi and Dubai amongst potential first-time visitors from one of their main source markets – Germany. An empirical study amongst 300 respondents from North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany, was conducted to reveal the cognitive image attributes of Dubai and Abu Dhabi for non-visitors. Despite both places having a similar basis for destination development, their images differ. Thus, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are not seen as competitors on the tourism market, instead they could even increase the mutual benefits through highlighting specific images more distinctly. Further, the research identified a missing fit between the desired tourism destination image for both destinations and the perceived destination image. This is especially significant for the aspect of sustainability, which both emirates try to promote. Potential tourists rather perceive both emirates as unsustainable and not environmentally conscious.
