Tourism and Hospitality, Volume 5, Issue 2

2024 June - 15 articles

Cover Story: Considering the importance of the destination image (TDI) and semiotics in the field of tourism and hospitality marketing, this study coins and develops the term “destination image semiotics” to refer to a conceptual model that integrates Peirce’s semiotic triad and Morris’s semiotic trichotomies in the TDI formation circle. The new model is applied to quality hospitality services (i.e., high-end restaurants and luxury hotels) to measure their contribution to the online TDI through user-generated content (UGC). To this end, Grönroos’s service quality model and its marketing implications are involved in the aforementioned circle. The most significant finding is that service quality is not a determinant of customer satisfaction and loyalty. This big data result contradicts previous survey-based research on quality services. View this paper
