19、產(chǎn)品,例如旅游,是生產(chǎn)和消費(fèi)同時(shí)發(fā)生。這種差異之間有形和體驗(yàn),在一些重點(diǎn)旅游目的地形象研究多年來。不過,目的地,如消費(fèi)產(chǎn)品,是評價(jià)不僅僅來自真實(shí)或想象的屬性,而是根據(jù)“牌子”。</p><p>  目的地的名稱,如抵押公司名義銷售消費(fèi)產(chǎn)品。因素負(fù)責(zé)品牌價(jià)值尺寸湊成什么來被稱為“品牌資產(chǎn)”。形成過程如圖1所示。主要組件的模型是一樣的。該模型接受蔡的(2002)論點(diǎn),即是形象的核心概念品牌。然而,當(dāng)目的地的名稱才知道

20、,圖像本身到品牌層面,而蒙上了品牌(目的地名稱)。如圖1所示,不同層面的影響不同成分的模型。舉例來說,意識的影響,大部分的認(rèn)知成分,沒有它就不可能有品牌。尺寸形象和質(zhì)量顯得更影響情感成分時(shí)的態(tài)度和感情是什么 已知(意識)的評估。忠誠(行為和態(tài)度)起作用的意組成。如果品牌資產(chǎn)評估是否足以導(dǎo)致行為或態(tài)度忠誠,各個方面都深受意組成。即兩種忠誠將使測量內(nèi)部調(diào)整的維度品牌資產(chǎn)。圖1描繪了四個層面,但這并不妨礙他人免受確定和衡量。品牌形象方面相互關(guān)

25、。研究在線調(diào)查關(guān)于旅游目的地的形象開始于70年代初(Gunn1972;Hunt 1975),而今天仍是一個多產(chǎn)的研究領(lǐng)域(Pike 2002)。在檢討以往的工作,Pike(2002)發(fā)現(xiàn)142號文件,在過去三十年里,已直接或間接地影響旅游目的地的形象主題。</p><p>  盡管有廣泛的興趣,在一個統(tǒng)一的理論,旅游目的地的形象,沒有任何單一的方法,是被普遍接受的。雖然多數(shù)研究植根于營銷(Gardner和Levy

26、 1955),這一概念也在相連,并在分析了其他學(xué)科,如人類學(xué)、地理學(xué)、社會學(xué)及符號(Gallarza et al 2002)。主要的批評,這些眾多的研究是缺乏一個基本理論和概念框架,由什么構(gòu)成目的地形象( Fakeye和Crompton 1991),其形成過程(Gartner 1993),其運(yùn)行(Echtner 和 Ritchie 1993)。雖然所有這三個領(lǐng)域仍需要改進(jìn),在過去幾年里(Gallarza et al 2002),許多已采

27、取措施。在眾多的意見,可能是最被公認(rèn)是接受圖象中的重要作用,在游客的旅游行為,至于具體的評價(jià)和選擇過程(Echtner 和 Ritchie 1993;Gallarza et al 2002;Hunt 1975),即使是什么感覺并不總是能夠真正代表一個什么樣的地方都有提供(Um 和 Crompton 1990)。</p><p>  目的地質(zhì)量。大多數(shù)人的形象調(diào)查,包括實(shí)證測量中的概念(Pike 2002),通常作

28、為一個結(jié)合許多屬性的變量。但最近概覽文獻(xiàn)明確提到存在著質(zhì)量問題。 進(jìn)一步的調(diào)查,在檢討以往的研究處理目的地的發(fā)展,只有極少數(shù)被發(fā)現(xiàn)與該課題的感知質(zhì)量(Fick 和Ritchie 1991;Keane 1997;Murphy、Prichard和Smith 2000; weiermair和Fuchs 1999)。這是有趣的,因?yàn)槁糜蔚恼w評價(jià)是一個目的地,是一個集合了產(chǎn)品、服務(wù)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)。在所有這些例子中,質(zhì)量是一個至關(guān)重要的因素,影響著消費(fèi)行

29、為。</p><p>  把質(zhì)量納入目的地評價(jià)是如何實(shí)施這一構(gòu)想,可能是最困難的問題。在協(xié)議中,Keane (1997)重申P(guān)irsig的問題“什么是質(zhì)量真的?”,并企圖實(shí)施這一概念的連接質(zhì)量尺寸與價(jià)格。重視價(jià)格,其它方面已經(jīng)承認(rèn)調(diào)查目的地發(fā)展(Baloglu a和 Mangaloglu2001;Crompton 1979;Echtner 和 Ritchie 1993)。因此,價(jià)格是一個重要的外在品質(zhì)線索。<

31、permann (2000)認(rèn)為忠誠度不應(yīng)忽略,當(dāng)研究目的地品牌,而一些研究引入部分(Bigne、Sanchez 和 Sanchez 2001; Fakeye和Crompton 1991)。但是,這些僅僅吸納了數(shù)項(xiàng)措施,間接照亮忠誠度。曾有人建議,重復(fù)探視((Fakeye 和 Crompton 1991;Gitelson 和 Crompton 1984)和打算歸還(Ostrowski、O’Brien 和 Gordon 1993)的指標(biāo),

60、nalyzed from the standpoint of valuation in the financial arena, emerged in the 90s as an important research area in marketing (Barwise 1993). Considerable interest has been channeled into conceptualizing and understandi

61、ng it. Accordingly, the concept and meaning of brand equity have occasioned much debate (Chaudhuri 1995), although several authors still recognize a lack of a general theoretical framework around the issue (Vazquez, del

62、Rio and Iglesias 2002</p><p>  Currently, academics discuss both theoretical conceptualization and the development of a proper measurement instrument (Yoo and Donthu 2001). A number of these have been propos

63、ed at either theoretical or empirical levels. Yet Yoo and Donthu (2001) argued that there has been no common agreement on how brand equity should bemeasured. Some efforts leading toward consensus on measurement are recog

72、ness. The concept of destination awareness has mostly been investigated under the topic of the tourism decision process (Goodall 1993; Woodside and Lysonski 1989), firmly rooted in consumer behavior studies (Howard and S

73、heth 1969). All models of consumer behavior argue that awareness is a first and necessary, but not sufficient, step leading to trial and repeat purchase. Awareness may not always lead to purchase, because it results, at

74、best, in product curiosity (Fesenmaier, Vog</p><p>  Awareness implies that an image of the destination exists in the minds of potential tourists (Gartner 1993). When a destination wants to be successful, it

75、 must first achieve tourist awareness and second a positive image (Milman and Pizam 1995). Unlike awareness, which is investigated within the destination selection processes, studies of destination image mostly introduce

76、 the concept of familiarity. Mackay and Fesenmaier (1997) argue that this has been proposed as both a positive and negative fa</p><p>  Destination Image. The research line of inquiry regarding destination i

77、mage started in the early 70s (Gunn 1972; Hunt 1975) and today remains a prolific area of study (Pike 2002). In reviewing previous work, Pike (2002) found 142 papers in the last three decades that have directly or indire

78、ctly investigated destination image topics.</p><p>  Despite wide interest in a unifying theory of destination image, no single approach is commonly accepted. Although mostly studied with roots in marketing

79、(Gardner and Levy 1955), the concept has also been connected and analyzed within other disciplines, such as anthropology, geography, sociology, and semiotics (Gallarza et al 2002). The main criticism of these numerous st

81、pirical measurement of the concept (Pike 2002), usually presented as a combination of many attribute-based variables. None of the recent overviews of the literature explicitly mention the existence of a quality dimension

83、<p>  Probably the most difficult issue in integrating quality into destination evaluation is how to operationalize the concept. In agreement, Keane (1997) reiterated Pirsig’s question of ‘‘what is quality really?’

84、’ and attempted to operationalize the concept by linking the quality dimension with pricing. The importance of price has been recognized by others investigating destination development (Baloglu and Mangaloglu 2001; Cromp

89、indirectly illuminate loyalty. It has been suggested that repeat visitation (Fakeye and Crompto</p><p>  Behavioral loyalty implies that previous experiential familiarity influences today’s and tomorrow’s to
