In principle, the application of technology is unprecedentedly increasing for destination image formation and Augmented Reality (AR) can be a primal example in such context. This conceptual paper synthesizes the functionalities of AR in tourism destination image formation. This study explores AR application aspects for tourism destination image formation while, placing them in an emerging tourism economy perspective with Bangladesh as the example. A critical explanation generated from reviewing the current literature is offered. Results determine interrelatedness between tourist destination image formation and AR application. In the emerging tourism market scenario, the possibilities of AR application are unlimited but, the policy and structural capacities remain largely inadequate. Study upshots also show that, this technology convincingly creates better perceptions leading to positive tourist destination image.

Travel Decisions

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.

Tourism Research

Image has been an important topic in tourism research. It is one of the key factors in the travel selection process. The image of a tourist destination is the sum of all perceptions tourists and potential visitors hold of that destination. In tourist advertising materials it is represented through verbal and pictorial elements. The focus of this research is to find out pragmalinguistic elements in tourist destination image formation. This paper especially concentrates on some typical pragmalinguistic elements forming the image of Croatia as a tourist destination.

Factor Of Influence

The present study aims to explain more deeply the theory of destination image and its process of formation in culturally distant countries, specifically regarding familiarity as a factor of influence. To achieve this aim, a questionnaire was administered to 307 South Korean citizens in order to examine Koreans’ image of Spain as a tourist destination, and the level of familiarity with the destination. The findings reveal that familiarity has a moderating effect on the destination image, and the main information source that most contributes to a positive image is provided by ‘relatives, friends, and/or acquaintances’. This paper contributes to the literature by showing the importance of familiarity on image formation and has significant management implications in the context of helping to create an appropriate image of a tourist destination.

The destination image is a complex construction in which the different sources of information consulted are decisive. Among these information sources, we can find films, which have a relevant function to create destination images. Films are one of the factors that most influences people in their motivation to travel to a destination. The academic literature on film tourism has grown considerably in recent years, but an updated revision is needed. Due to this fact, the main contribution of this paper is the proposal of an updated review of the academic literature focused on film tourism and destinations and their management implications. The general objective of this research is to analyse the existing literature, systematising the relationships that exist between films, film tourism, destination image, and tourist destination. To this end, a systematic review of the literature has been carried out, with two aims: on the one hand, a review of the existing literature from a descriptive perspective, showing the main publications, authors and topics, and on the other hand, a review from a thematic perspective. The results of the latter will be addressed in the discussion and conclusions. The results of the descriptive analysis highlight the significant growth in the literature analysed over the last 45 years, especially between 2005 and 2015. They also underline that the most studied topics are film destinations, marketing and destination image. The results of the thematic analysis highlight the importance of films and series as important information sources on the creation of destination images. The thematic analysis also provides information on the negative and positive aspects of film destination management.

Economies all over the world are moving towards a focus on services. Tourism has emerged as a major contributor to economies all over the world. This is why specific focus is being placed on tourism, as Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) concentrate their efforts on tourism. India has been one of the countries where the share of tourism in national income has steadily been increasing. As the national capital, the city of Delhi has a major role to play in the tourist inflow to the country, as well as within the country. Successful tourism marketing requires that the concepts of tourist destination and underlying factors are comprehended in detail. An analysis of the available, pertinent literature on the area shows the manner in which numerous factors come together to form the image of a tourist destination. In fact, it needs to be understood that image formation may be done differently for different consumers. This further necessitates a detailed study of the factors influencing tourist destination image.
