Dear scholars and researchers,
I am currently exploring the potential connections between theories of tourist destination image and communication theories. Would anyone be able to recommend authors or studies that have established an analogy or link between these two areas? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Despite the submission of theoretical approaches and empirical studies over the past 30 years, tourism scholarly reflection on the nexus of fictional imagination, destination branding, and communication-based branding widely takes the form of a research desideratum, especially as tourism, destination, communication, and event management in their respective practices more or less ignorantly confront the growing challenge of a media-induced tourism value chain.
