Tourism Promotion and Nation Branding: Insights From the Turkish Case
This study explores the relationship between tourism and nation branding. Although tourism is generally seen as positively contributing to the nation brand image, we investigate a case, Turkey, where there is an incongruity between the two. While Turkey is in the world’s top ten in terms of tourism performance, the country continues to suffer from an unfavorable image. Through in-depth expert interview, we identify three key factors – strategic, experiential, and organizational – that appear to limit tourism’s impact on Turkey’s nation brand image. We discuss theoretical and managerial implications of our findings.
