Research framework was developed based on past studies and each variable were explained thoroughly. Moreover, the effect between variables were identified and examined using t-test analysis, one-way ANOVA and stepwise regression. The findings indicated that only several variables have significant effect to overall destination image and the results differ between visitor and non-visitor. It is revealed that the type of tourist whether they are visitor or non-visitor had no effect to overall destination image. As for visitor, variables such as affective image and internet platform had significant effect to overall destination image. Non-visitor on the other hand showed contradict result whereby cognitive image and affective image had significant effect to overall destination image. The research findings not only will help tourism operators to improve their understanding towards destination image held by visitor and non-visitor but it will also benefit them in planning and executing their management and marketing operations effectively.
