Abstract

In the literature on tourism marketing, the image of the touristic destination is identified as a major element of territorial attractiveness and influence on the behaviour of visitors and/or tourists. However, according to researchers, its measurement remains complex due to its multiple nature. This study aims to enrich the theoretical field of its measurement and to contribute to the development of a measure applicable to several contexts. Thus, it is based on a mixed and integrative method that not only enriches the measures, but also develops a dual-measure approach to the image of the touristic destination. A first qualitative phase leads to a reflection on two distinct but complementary measures of the touristic destination: the image of the territory put into tourism and the image of the place of strong touristic attraction. The study also uses a quantitative method which, thanks to the structural equation model, reveals a positive but different relationship in terms of magnitude between these two measures of the image of the touristic destination on the one hand, and between the image of the place of strong touristic attraction and the intention to revisit on the other. Moreover, in this last relationship, we note the mediating role of feedback as a contingency variable.
