“…Numerous image studies have focused on country image or city image, which has a clear administrative boundary. However, regional destination image studies are insufficient due to ambiguous spatial boundaries ( Park and Song, 2021 ). Thus, the fluctuating spatial boundary makes it more challenging to measure the regional destination image.…”

“…To achieve this goal, destination governments have tried to provide a diverse range of tourism products as well as to group several tourism cities into clusters to stimulate regional economic growth ( Ferreira and Estevao, 2009 ; Yang, 2012 ; Jacobsen et al, 2018 ). Regional collaborations, which involve co-opetition, co-branding, and joint promotion, have become a trend in tourism development ( Cai, 2002 ; Gooroochurn and Hanley, 2005 ; Kirillova et al, 2020 ; Park and Song, 2021 ). China has recently promoted the concept of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) concept, which is referred to as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao GBA.…”

“…The government promotes multi-destination tourism to attract foreign visitors to stay longer in the GBA. Most previous studies of GBA ( Kirillova et al, 2020 ; Park and Song, 2021 ) were focused on internal perceptions. Thus, it is necessary to determine how overseas tourists could be encouraged to take multi-destination travel to extend their stay.…”

Many governments promote the concept of multi-destination tourism to attract foreign visitors to stay longer in a region. This study constructs a higher-order multi-destination image model to examine how the unique cognitive images of Hong Kong, Macau, and Guangzhou collectively constitute the overall cognitive image of China’s Greater Bay Area (GBA). Then, it further examines how this overall cognitive image builds affective, overall, and conative images of the GBA. The results of an online survey of non-Chinese tourists from Guinea, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and United States show that cognitive images of three cities in the GBA take different weighting in constructing the overall cognitive image of the GBA. The overall cognitive destination image significantly influences the formation of the affective, overall, and conative images of the GBA region. For constructing the conative image, the affective image shows the greatest impact, overall cognitive image follows; the impact of the overall image is less. This study proposes theoretical implications for future regional tourism studies. Practical recommendations are also proposed.

“…The new smart city trend in which sustainable cities are projected to be supported by all technological developments in clean energy [ 69 , 70 ]. A high quality of life for citizens, automated management, green industry, sustainable habitats, optimal management of public resources and participatory management [ 71 , 72 ]among others are the new paradigms of the city brand. Finally, there are few studies that examine disruptive changes at the technological, social, political and economic levels in the evolution of future cities and their involvement with the city brand [ 47 ].…”

Geosites are significant geological heritage areas that serve as field laboratories for researchers. They offer insights into geological processes that have occurred from the past to the present and hold high potential for geotourism. To preserve and make geosites sustainable, their accessibility is a prerequisite. For this purpose, a model consisting of various parameters was developed in accordance with the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method, identifying 183 geosite areas that have been determined by experts and are subjects of literature. As a result, four evaluation criteria were established, including accessibility, access to service/attractiveness areas, scientific importance, and geomorphological features. Taking these parameters into account, a collective evaluation map was obtained using GIS-based AHP, drawing upon literature and expert opinions. The study concluded that the most critical parameter for accessibility to geosites is accessibility itself, accounting for 50% of the importance. Other parameters have influenced the accessibility of geosites in the following order of importance: 25% land, 15% scientific importance, and 10% service/attractiveness. Consequently, the areas where accessibility to geosites in Türkiye is most convenient are those with the highest road density. Road density, in turn, exhibits a pattern based on the characteristics of topography, population, and trade factors. Additionally, a parallel outcome emerged between areas that are more suitable in terms of these factors and the density of geosites. As a validation of the newly created model, the accessibility of Türkiye's areas recognized by UNESCO was found to be very high, indicating that the model is a suitable and convenient method that can be applied to different areas.
