Destination personality: An application of brand personality to tourism destinations
Article Abstract:
A study adopts Aeker's brand personality scale to identify whether tourists attribute personality traits to tourism destinations. Findings indicate that destination personality, or the set of human characteristics associated with a destination, are perceived in the three dimensions of sincerity, excitement and conviviality, and that destination personality, particularly the conviviality dimension, has positive impact on tourists and influences their intention to recommend.
