“…Country image has been handled by researchers in many paradigms, including tourism, and common results have been obtained, especially that it has an impact on consumers' purchasing behavior and travel intentions (Güzel, 2009;Alvarez & Campo, 2014;Lindblom et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2018;Aydın et al, 2021). Knowing where a country's own image is in the region where it aims to increase tourism demand and creating a more positive image will help it attract more tourists.…”

The primary purposes of this research are to explain: what is the perceived image of Turkey in South America, investigate the effects of the perceived image on destination selection, and determine what needs to be done to create a positive image. Full-Member Countries of MERCOSUR (Mercado Común del Sur -Southern Common Market) were defined as the research population. Quantitative research methods were used in data collection. The sample was determined by non-probability sampling: purposive sampling technique. Data were obtained from 508 participants through a questionnaire. The obtained data was conducted through frequency analysis, factor analysis, t-test, and regression analysis. The result points out that the country image factors affect the perceived destination image, while the cultural similarity and the perceived destination image factors affect the cognitive country image. Also, there is a reciprocal relationship between the cognitive country image and the perceived destination image variables. The conclusion is that the region's awareness of Turkey as a travel destination is limited, Turkey is not noticed among the most in-demand travel destinations, and the image of the country as a tourism destination should be built more positive than it currently is for Turkey to attract more tourists from the region.

The efforts to diversify and extend the tourism season to 12 months continue unabated with new approaches and strategies. This issue is of greater importance for countries where tourism is pivotal to the growth of the economy. One approach to achieve this is through urban tourism and its popularity is increasing rapidly. Although tourism has a significant impact on the Turkish economy, the country is widely known for sea-sand-sun tourism. However, research on how this can be transformed into urban tourism especially from the perspective of cuisines is still needed. This current study focuses on the narratives of tourists visiting Istanbul, Turkey's mega-city as well as an important urban destination. A qualitative research approach is adopted, and a document analysis technique is employed in the study. Tripadvisor user entries, commonly used in scientific research, are used as a data source. Data analyses are performed following a three-step analysis procedure with the qualitative analysis software MAXQDA. The analysis covers a total of 450 entries. The results of the present study introduce a series of key projections for the scientific literature, practitioners, and administrators.

Tourism is one of the sectors that has been directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in the number of domestic and foreign tourists has an impact on the country's economy. Therefore, this study aims to test the theory of Goal Directed Behavior in predicting the intention to visit local tourists during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a quantitative approach and uses a purposive sampling strategy to obtain data through the distribution of online surveys. There were 209 respondents who met domestic travel requirements in the past year. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used as an analytical tool in testing research hypotheses. The results of the analysis showed that the relationship between attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, positive anticipated emotions, negative anticipated emotions, was mediated by desire towards intention.
