When the two approaches to measure destination image arecompared, the analysis indicates that a focus on the consumer’sevaluation of the perceived attributes of a destination (Beerli &Martin, 2004) is less effective for understanding the effect of amanipulation than a focus on the appraisals an individual hastoward a destination object in general (Li & Kaplanidou, 2013).This could indicate that the effect of one attribute manipulationdoes not necessarily transcend to other attributes (see also Ritchie& Smith, 1991). Therefore, the authors propose that if researcherschoose to conduct a manipulation of destination image attributes intheir attempt to understand how this affects respondents image ofthe destination, they are advised to implement an adjective-basedscale that allows them to comprehend the effect of the attribute onthe image of the destination overall.
