What destination marketers can learn from their visitors’ blogs: An image analysis of Bethlehem, Palestine

Destination images, holistic images and personal normative beliefs: Predictors of intention to revisit a destination

“…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).…”

In fact, Zeng & Gerritsen (2014) particularly point out that social media sources must be strategically included for research data collection and analysis (p. 33).…”

Perceptual Image of Conflict-ridden Destinations: An EEG and Eye Tracker Analysis

“…A particular destination may be considered highly risky due to a recent political unrest or a terrorist attack (Sonmez and Graefe, (1998a).The political unrest, conflict, violence and terrorist attacks in a particular destination may have severe impacts on tourism (Hall, 1994;Hall and O'Sullivan, 1996;Pizam et al, 1997;Richter and Waugh, 1986;Roehl, 1995;Sonmez, 1998;Cakmak and Isaac, 2012;Belhassen et al, 2014). Research shows that tourists form images of a destination in their minds based on their perception of risk (Kozak and Kozak, 2008;Björk and Kauppinen-Räisänen, 2012).…”
