Italy's Destination Image in Scandinavia Italy’s destination image in Scandinavia Analysis of photographs in tourism catalogues and social media platforms By: Andrea Pesaresi Supervisor: Saeid Abbasian Södertörn University Master’s Dissertation in Tourism Studies: 15 Credits May 2021 Abstract Means of information have drastically changed during the last decades due to the evolution of technology and the development of social media, which have gained crucial relevance in the tourism industry. As a consequence, efficacy of traditional information sources is being challenged. The aim of this research is to determine, analysing photographs, what destination images of a particular country are projected by both traditional and digital information sources, in order to compare them identifying main similarities and differences in the projected images. For the purpose of this study, the selected destination is Italy and the analysed images will be retrieved from Swedish, Danish and Norwegian tour operators’ tourism catalogues and their respective social media accounts. Therefore, main similarities and differences between the three countries will also be identified and analysed. The images will be analysed using a thematic analysis method, following an inductive approach, meaning that themes and codes will be generated from the data itself. In order to generate conclusions, five Swedish, five Danish and five Norwegian tour operators were selected, and their catalogues and social media accounts were analysed, for a total of 1,306 images illustrating Italy as a destination. Findings suggest how images retrieved from catalogues mainly illustrate Italy by the generated themes of hidden mass tourism, notorious Italy, and culture. On the other hand, images retrieved from social media accounts mainly represent Italy with the generated themes of mass tourism, unfamiliar Italy, and culture. As the names of the themes suggest, the first two themes generated from the two information sources represent opposite ways of illustrating the destination, while the theme of culture represents the main similarity between the traditional and digital information sources. Regarding the three countries, it was noticed that each Scandinavian country focused on specific features of Italy, with Swedish tour operators focusing on the history and culture of the destination, Danish ones focusing on sea, beaches and urban areas, while Norwegian tour operators concentrated on natural landscapes and countryside areas of Italy. Keywords: Destination image, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, tourism catalogues, social media i Declaration of Authorship I hereby certify that the thesis I am submitting is entirely my own original work except where otherwise indicated.

  • UK Office April 2020 TDC Report Prepared By
    UK Office April 2020 TDC Report Prepared by: Venessa Alexander UK Director Tour Operators 360 Private Travel - We spoke to Zia Bapuji, Supplier Partnerships Director at 360 Private Travel. The business operates as an invite-only, high-end luxury travel concierge service. Zia advised that eight members of the head office team have been furloughed for the foreseeable future; the business’s luxury travel consultants are all self-employed individuals that are continuing to work to support their customers, however, it is an extremely difficult period; bookings with values exceeding £100k are being lost. One significant difference for this operator is the customer is more willing (perhaps able?) to leave any monies paid to 360 with the operator and defer it to another trip later in 2020 or 2021. Zia noted that many suppliers (hotels, airlines) are no longer offering refunds and will only provide credit notes, which means the business/its consultants will be at a loss in situations where the customer wishes to cancel for a full refund. Ocean Holidays - We spoke to Lisa Airey, Commercial Manager. Lisa advised the business is currently working week-to-week dealing with upcoming bookings making amendments or cancellations. The majority are amending trips to the end of 2020 or 2021 but there are some cancellations, and this is of concern to the business because of the hit to cash flow. They have contacted all customers due to travel up to the middle of June and expect to have spoken to those travelling up to 30 June within the next couple of days.
