“…In the case of Dubai, the sample were experienced tourists, many making repeat visits to the city, whereas in this case the Chinese tourists were less familiar with New Zealand. From a conceptual perspective, the findings of this study are inconsistent with those of Martínez and Alvarez (2010) and Ryan and Ninov (2011), who both distinguish between an image of a country and an image of that country as a tourist destination. The former additionally noted the independence of country and destination images, writing, “in the tourism sector, a negative country image does not necessarily affect the perceptions related to the destination” (Martínez and Alvarez 2010, p. 759).…”

This study uses content analysis to identify the perceived destination image held by Chinese tourists to New Zealand. In this study, qualitative content analysis is the primary mode of analysis, but quantitative methods are used as a support. The findings reveal the main components of New Zealand, as perceived by Chinese tourists, as being the possession of a protected ecological environment, a variety of activities, and a highly developed society with a "Pakeha" culture. The study also indicates that Chinese cultural norms play an important role in the process of perception formation and interpretation. These norms include the desire for harmony, Li, and a respect of authorities. It is suggested that blogs are an important resource by which destination marketing organizations can seek to influence potential tourists and by which tourist perceptions of place can be assessed.

“…It appears that the “100% Pure” campaign so strongly identifies New Zealand that it “floods” the detail. This is in stark contrast to the study by Ryan and Ninov (2011) of Dubai, where clear distinctions existed between macro- and micro-images of place. Another factor, however, also may be the familiarity and experience of tourists.…”

“…Tourists with different understandings of experiences found different contents of images inspired them to visit a destination (Ye and Tussyadiah, 2011). Some authors as Ryan and Ninov (2011) propose a deeper analysis differentiating destination perception, destination attributes, and destination and experience evaluation. The method therefore distinguishes between the 'measurement perception space', 'image perception space' and the 'measurement influenced by image perception space'.…”

This paper develops a novel methodology for estimating the value of destination image, which incorporates two principal advantages over the methods used to date. First, it allows tourism destination image to be assessed in economic terms, so a formal cost–benefit analysis can be executed to ascertain whether or not a specific marketing action should be implemented. Second, it enables a disentangling of the economic assessment of tourist destination image in terms of destination attributes. This can be used to design marketing actions aimed at optimizing marketing efforts to enhance a destination's image.

This paper, continuing from Pike (2002), and Stepchenkova and Mills (2010), reviews 177 articles published between 2008 and 2012 about destination image. The major characteristics of these articles are highlighted to show the development of destination image studies. Two broad categories of destination image studies (i.e. perceived image, and projected image) are discussed separately. It is hoped that researchers of the following period can find some suggestions to locate their studies in this very popular body of research.
