THE MEDIATING ROLE OF IMAGE ON FOREIGN VISITORS' PERCEPTIONS OF RISK AND FUTURE BEHAVIOURS IN TÜRKIYE

Öz

Perceptions of image and risk are significant elements in promoting and positioning destinations, attracting tourists, and influencing their future behavioral intentions. This study aims to examine travelers' perceptions of risk and image of Türkiye, how risk and image affect their plans to behave, and how image might play a role in the connection between risk and visitors' plans to behave. Researchers employed a convenience sampling method, collecting 614 questionnaires from foreign tourists visiting Türkiye. Utilizing PLS-SEM path modelling, the study conducted explanatory and predictive analyses. Perceptions of risk negatively impact a country's overall image, influencing both cognitive and affective dimensions. Both emotional and cognitive perceptions of visitors shape the overall image of the country and affect their recommendations and intentions to revisit. Cognitive and emotional images theoretically facilitate the connection between risk perception and both recommendation and revisit intentions. This study improves the comprehension of the intricate connections between risk perception and image, with significant implications for both theoretical and practical applications.
