“…Moreover, streaming platforms use series as marketing tools by selling whole seasons (Tryon 2015). In this context, these platforms allow for a continued consumption, which in turn, leads spectators to create stronger bonds with the series, and even identify with characters, actors and plots (Fu et al 2016;Horton and Wohl 1956). This whole new way of consuming TV series makes such products significantly more attractive (Kranz 2015) and accessible for bigger audiences, which has a huge contribution to their current increased popularity.…”

“…Literature has defined how spectators react to audiovisual products and how changes are generated in their behavior. The level of viewers' involvement with content and how it reflects the viewers' personality has also been studied (Fu et al 2016;Sood 2002). Besides, spectators can start feeling affection and thinking that fictional characters are their friends (Horton and Wohl 1956).…”

“…In the case of audiovisual media, communication involvement is especially important, understood as the number of connections an individual makes between an audiovisual product and his life content while he visualizes it. Namely when individuals make transference of episodes or programs they are viewing into their daily life (Krugman 1966;Fu et al 2016). Meaning that we are living in a time when audiovisual consumption plays an essential role in leisure time.…”

Different spectators have distinct patterns of audiovisual product consumption. These patterns may be influenced by a range of factors. In this context, the present study analyzes how audiovisual consumption is influenced by sociodemographic variables. To this end, primary data was collected through a survey with 484 Spanish spectators. The collected data was subjected to a descriptive analysis and a non-parametric Pearson's chi-square test, in order to establish consumption patterns and potentially link them to demographic variables. Results show that consumption patterns vary according to gender, age, and formal education.

“…Still, the issue of sources of these negative stereotypes, of their influences on a destination image and finally on customers' market behavior were not studied thoroughly so far (Avraham 2018). Single works dealing with that issue like works by Di Marino (2008), by Avraham (2018), by and by Fu et al (2016) deal rather with images of particular countries on the international tourism market rather than with images of regions on the domestic market.…”

In order to capture the value of cultural creativity, this study explored regional cultural creativities with different creative forms to understand how people interpret and interact with various regional cultural creative images. This was done by analyzing the abstract (performance) type of cultural creativity and the figurative (commodity) type of cultural creativity, in order to understand how existing regional cultural creativities operate information threads in social media, and how the different forms of content may lead to different levels of participation and feedback. The Cloud Gate Dance Theater can be taken as an example of an abstract cultural creation (performance type), and Green-in-hand as an example of a figurative cultural creativity (commodity type). In this study, all user page content for the period 1 January 2011, to 31 December 2018, and the number of user comments for each post were analyzed, for a total of 4784 posts. Computer science, data mining, big data, and social network analysis were combined to verify the findings of the analyses. Through an application programming interface (API), data and information in social media is extracted. Then data filtering, storage, and analysis is performed with meaningful information extracted for interpretation and for use in text mining to explore the relationship with the public based on content attributes. This study first verifies that the regional image is consistent with the social image location. Second, the information cues results found that information cues could be organized into region personality through any direct or indirect contact. Third, emotional clues can evoke emotions and self-expression, which is seen as an important clue to region emotions. In addition, this study also provides a conceptual framework for understanding how different forms of information, in regards to social management of existing regional cultural creativities, leads to varying levels of participation. Understanding the form of information is a key factor in the acceptance of information by the public. It is a reminder for cultural and creative institutions of the importance of text and images, and of figurative and abstract information planning in social content. In order to improve the competitiveness of the destination, using content interaction through social media to create and enhance a strong brand image is important.

“…Although imagined experiences of a destination have not been explored directly in the literature, the related concept of destination image certainly has. New studies on destination image are constantly emerging (Avraham, ; Chen, Lai, Petrick, & Lin, ; Fu, Ye, & Xiang, ; Stylidis, ; Zhang, Fu, Cai, & Lu, ). In fact, “there has been exponential growth in the number of studies of destination image appearing in the tourism literature” (Pike & Ryan, , p. 333), a trend that has continued over the past decade.…”

The aim of this study is to explore the idea that people can imagine themselves in a destination and can have imagined experiences. This broadens our understanding of how people think about destinations and provides an extension of the established destination image literature and that which explores actual tourist experiences. The research involved asking 300 Czech residents who had never been to London to imagine what it would be like to visit. Their responses were examined qualitatively using thematic analysis. The findings suggest that people can imagine experiences and that these involve a range of sensations, much like “real” experiences.
