The authors investigate the factors impacting destination image application on El Gouna which is a recently founded touristic destination in Egypt well noted for its engaging events, stunning coral reefs, diverting beaches, lagoons, and a multitude of other alluring variables overlooking the Red Sea. The researchers proposed a conceptual model based on a thorough review of the literature. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to collect primary data. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software.

A suggestion for further research is to conduct a comparative crosscultural study to investigate if the studied factors also impact foreigners visiting El Gouna.
