ABSTRACT

This paper extends image formation theory by adopting familiarity index and travel behaviour. After the destination images have been conceptualized, relationship between destination images and travel behaviours was explored through path analysis. The proposed hypotheses were tested against three groups developed by familiarity index: low, medium and high familiarity groups. Findings are that the low familiarity group has a significant causal relationship between destination images and behaviour; that medium familiarity group has significant causal effects among all tested variables; and that high familiarity group shows no significant relationship between overall image and the intention of revisiting a destination.
