| Abstract: | This article investigates the links among four key constructs introduced to the destination branding and choice process-tourist needs, destination brand personality, self-congruity, and the intentions to visit and satisfaction with a visit. The findings suggest that in case that tourists are able to make an association between a destination and a destination brand personality, and this association is consistent with their desired vacation experience, there exist a high level of congruity between the tourists' self-image and their observation of the destination. |
