One of the major concerns of the tourism industry in any country is to develop a
positive image about the country globally. The basic objective of this study is to
analyze the antecedents and outcomes of destination image. Specifically, the
antecedents considered are cultural values, lifestyle and destination source credibility;
the outcomes considered are destination attachment, destination satisfaction, and revisit
intention. Projecting a positive image about a destination can be challenging if the
destination had experienced major disasters. This study analyses the moderating role
of perceived risk on destination image and revisit intention. The destination studied in
this research is Malaysia which faced major disasters in 2014. A questionnaire-based
survey was conducted and 383 tourists from five countries of West Asia participated in
the survey. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. The
outcome indicates that the findings of the study support the four hypotheses (H1, H2,
H3, & H4).The key finding of this study is the significant contribution of the
antecedents of this study to the literature on destination image. This study also
considered two components of destination image: cognitive and affective. Other key
findings of this study are the mediating roles of destination image, destination
attachment, and destination satisfaction. |
