| Abstract: | The authors investigate the power of fear evoked by ad photos in tourism ads. The basic assumption is that ad photos portraying a risky vacation situation could influence tourists' attitudes towards a destination and thereby their willingness to visit the place. The study results clearly indicate that overall fear created by risky vacation photos have a negative effect on intention to visit a tourist destination. However age and nationality are found to moderate this effect. |
