Tiivistelmä: | This study measured Russia's destination image among US pleasure travelers. The methodology proposed by Echtner and Ritchie was improved by using a combination of two software programs to analyze responses to open-ended questions about stereotypical holistic, affective and uniqueness images and facilitate statistical comparisons of images between visitors and non-visitors to Russia. The results reveal that American travelers' perceptions of Russia were often negative and there is a lack of awareness about Russia's destination features. This article discusses the marketing implications for Russia's Federal Travel Agency based on the study results. |
