Abstract
The analysis of destination image is relatively recent. However, in almost three decades since the first studies emerged, the topic
has become one of the most popular in the tourism research literature. A review of 142 destination image papers, published in the
literature during the period 19732000, was undertaken to provide destination image researchers with a reference guide to the
context, method and focus of previous studies. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
