The purpose of this conceptual paper is to review the impact of perception of the local community and destination image, on the Intention to visit the destination, also the moderating role of local community attitude between the emotional perception of the local community and destination image on the Intention to visit destination of Pakistan tourism sector. This paper's framework was developed based on a systematic review of past literature which has not been tested yet. Present conceptual paper suggests future researchers test the present framework in the tourism sector in Pakistan using a quantitative approach. This research found the important influence of the study's variables on the Intention to visit a destination. However, a deep understanding provided of how three (3) variables affect the Intention to visit a destination in Pakistan. The paper emphasizes the critical value of perception and attitude of the local community and destination image, for tourism sector owner/managers consideration when acting on behalf of their company; failing which the tourism could experience poor destination image. Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Behavior, and Theory of Destination Image was used to underlie the conceptual framework. In addition, the implications of this conceptual model for theory and practice are discussed.

“…However, local residents' perceptions of tourism impacts and their level of tourism support tend to change as a destination moves from one stage of its life cycle to the next Gursoy, Chi & Dyer, 2010). Destination image influences traveller intention according to (Chen & Tsai, 2007;Chuchu, 2020). A step that can be taken may include monitoring changes in locals' perceptions and attitudes and identifying new development initiatives that may be supported by locals (Gursoy et al 2010) H4: Destination image is related to attitudes of local residents' towards tourism.…”

The paper made use of predictor variables to highlight relationships in tourism, these are: perceptions’ of local residents towards tourists and destination image; in an effort to identify how these predictors are relative to the mediator variable, attitudes’ of local residents towards tourists; which then lead to the outcome variable, tourists willingness to visit a destination. To enable the researcher to conduct this study, prior literature related to destination image, as well as the attitudes and perceptions of local residents were reviewed. Respondents were selected by means of probability sampling. A conceptualised model was developed to measure the variables adapted to the research study. The researcher conducted field research at The University of Witwatersrand, which included 270 respondents, currently registered at the university. The data set was analysed by employing SPSS and Amos 24 through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). It was confirmed by the results of the research that the attitudes of local residents had a stronger relationship than the perceptions of local residents towards tourists; influencing tourists’ willingness to visit a destination. This implies that tourists will visit a destination based on how they are treated by local residents, instead of how local residents perceive tourists. The study makes contributions to current research on local residents’ attitudes and perceptions towards tourists, and destination image, which influences tourists’ willingness to visit a destination.

“…Destination Image in tourism represents the effects of beliefs, notions, and impressions that a traveller holds destination (Elliot and Papadopoulos, 2016). Destination image has a notable impact traveller intention Chen and Tsai, 2007;Chuchu, 2020. Image in tourism research is a concept that was introduced in the early 70s (Frías et al, 2012). Destination image constructs include cognitive or affective, and combination of both constructs (cognitive and affective) is generally used to describe and interpret the image a tourist has of a place or destination (Tan and Wu, 2016).…”

Africa's first FIFA World Cup sparked a series of scholarly work mostly conducted prior to this event. This phenomena is still relevant today with many unanswered questions. This research therefore investigates and examines literature on how the 2010 FIFA World Cup is perceived almost a decade later. A qualitative approach was adopted based on secondary data sources and grey literature. Contextual information was gathered from popular data bases that include Science direct, Ebsco host, Emerald and Google scholar. A total of 20 studies on both tourism in South Africa and the 2010 FIFA World Cup published between 2004 and 2019 were examined and systematically presented and discussed. Recurring trends based on review of literature were identified. The destination image theory and the destination concept were used to comprehend international visitors' attitudes and their interpretation of South Africa as a travel destination. One of key findings was that the crime in South Africa, before, during after the World Cup ranks highest in terms of tourism deterrence. However, the event was generally perceived positive as a fairly positive success with room for socio-economic improvement. Implications were provided and possible areas of further were suggested with additional questions presented.
