Tourists use social media to share their experiences and obtain information about travel and tourism destinations. Information shared by tourists is different than information published by destination marketing organizations (DMOs) in the sense that it does not include formal messages and photographs. Some researchers have proven that user-generated content (UGC) through social media exerts an influence on the perceived image of a tourist destination and the motivations for visiting it. Tourists and travelers tend to use a combination of official and unofficial information to make travel decisions. Nowadays, there are still plenty of opportunities to advance destination image research using social media. With these ideas in mind, this chapter aims to review different types of Web 2.0 platforms and discuss their influence on destination image formation and sustainability perception.

Health and psychology literature suggests the use of celebrity endorsement in organ donation advertisement in changing the attitude to register as organ donors. However, very limited literature was found that discussed the effect of source attractiveness, expertise and trustworthiness towards attitude in the context of organ donation. In addition, there is limited knowledge established in understanding the impact of charisma and authenticity in celebrity studies. The role of altruism as a moderator in the relationship between the attributes of celebrity endorsers and attitude towards organ donation registration is also unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to fill the gaps by determining the impact of celebrity endorser attributes towards attitude towards organ donation. This paper also examines the role of altruism as a moderator to the relationship between celebrity endorser attributes and attitude towards organ donation. The target sample of this study was university students and data collection has been conducted in various universities from four regions in Malaysia. Data from 466 university students were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23 and SmartPLS 3.0. Of five important celebrity endorser attributes that were tested in this paper, the findings show that authenticity and charisma are great predictors to attitude towards organ donation. In addition, the relationship between charisma and attitude is found to be weakened among individuals with high altruism. The findings of this paper are beneficial as they contribute to the celebrity endorsement literature and provide insights to the relevant agencies in selecting celebrity endorsers for their social marketing campaign.

Leisure tourism, including destination choice, can be viewed as an investment in mental health maintenance. Destination marketing measures can thus be analyzed as mental health investment prospectuses, aiming to match tourist desires. A mental health framework is particularly relevant for parks and nature tourism destinations, since the benefits of nature for mental health are strongly established. We test it for one globally iconic destination, using a large-scale qualitative approach, both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tourists’ perceptions and choices contain strong mental health and well-being components, derived largely from autonomous information sources, and differing depending on origins. Parks agencies emphasize factual cognitive aspects, but tourism enterprises and destination marketing organizations use affective approaches appealing to tourists’ mental health.
