“…For example, as shown by Buarque (2015), the media coverage of Brazil during both FIFA World Cups the country hosted (1950 and 2014) resulted in an increase of visibility for the country, but also in a shift in the frames used to describe it-from economics and culture to politics-as well as a change in tone, from positive to negative. Similar results were found by Schallhorn (2019) when exclusively analysing the country's media coverage in 2014 and its effects on the German audience. Namely, the study showed that the most frequently reported-nature and safety-and the predominantly negative-quality of life and economy-topics and media messages were the ones that most influenced people's perceptions of Brazil.…”

During times of crisis, media coverage increases significantly, shaping public opinion and creating images of the places where these events occur. In this context, this paper analyses the Zika virus epidemic in Brazil, a past crisis that gained increased media attention during the months leading up to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, to identify the cognitive and affective components of published information. To this end, we subjected 1034 headlines (from digital editions of leading Spanish daily newspapers) related to tourism security at the Olympic Games to content analysis and employed a series of attributes to approach the cognitive and affective components of the information analysed. The results reveal that alarmist and negative headlines are more frequent when security issues, particularly citizen security, are reported. News headlines about the Olympic Games are generally descriptive and more positive. In the field of health security, citation-type headlines—those citing information provided by experts or authorities—are used more frequently. By analysing a past crisis, this study has several implications for Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) dealing with such events. In this context, we highlight some good practices to maximise informative news and minimise alarmist ones.

“…As a third party, the media does not participate in the profit distribution of tourism activities, suggesting the media coverage can be trusted and referenced by tourists. The media plays a significant role in destination image creation, tourist decision-making and the safety measures of governments (Xie et al , 2020a; Schallhorn, 2019). Information access to media is equal and timely to individuals.…”

Purpose This study aims to identify the factors influencing Chinese outbound tourists’ perceptions of safety in Thailand. A media coverage analysis compares the safety perceptions of visitors and non-visitors. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-methods approach was adopted. Based on a content analysis of 204 news items related to safety incidents in Thailand, this paper divides the factors of safety perception into four dimensions. The quantitative data were gathered by self-administered questionnaires from 370 visitors who have previously visited Thailand and 407 potential visitors yet to visit Thailand. Findings The results demonstrated significant differences in the safety perceptions of visitors and non-visitors, indicating non-visitors’ fear of uncertainty and intolerance of the exotic. The study also confirmed social-demographic characteristics influence destination safety perceptions. For non-visitors, safety issues tend to have a negative influence on future visit intention, but those with previous travel experience have less concerns. Research limitations/implications The findings provide valuable insights to industry practice. More publicity campaigns within the Chinese media may reduce the spillover effects of crisis events and correct the potentially inaccurate images of disease and terrorism risk. Thai government is suggested to develop the Chinese inbound market, improve the quality of tourism infrastructure and standardisation and efficiency of tourism services. Originality/value The media plays a significant role in destination image, tourist decision-making and safety measures imposed by governments. This study identified the factors influencing Chinese outbound tourists’ perceptions of safety in Thailand through an analysis of media coverage. The study provides a better understanding of the differences in safety perceptions between visitors and non-visitors to Thailand. The segmentation of visitors and non-visitors also may help destination managers to cater to differing expectations of safety.

“…To conclude, sports event involvement was identified as a significant factor affecting one's perceived destination image of the host country and the valence of image change after watching the sporting events, therefore, the public gains a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the host nation from the telecasts and productions that are displayed on a regular basis, either during pre-and post-match coverage or in news media reports (Schallhorn, 2019;Kim et al, 2019).…”

With the aim of investigating China's image in relation to a sporting event, this study employs media frames as a technique of analysis to investigate how the Chinese media covered the Hangzhou Asian Games. Based on corpus analysis and content analysis, it was found that eight frames, such as the opening and closing ceremonies, event organization, sporting agenda, the spirit of the Asian Games, Hangzhou Asian Games in the eyes of different people, the host city, new technologies in the Hangzhou Asian Games, and environmental protection in the Hangzhou Asian Games were identified; and images of a country upholding sportsmanship and unity, a country with long history and profound culture, a country empowered by modernization and cutting-edge technologies, a country devoted to sustainability of humankind were established based on the reports. This study offers implications for media framing theory application and image construction strategies in a changing global landscape.
