Abstract
Purpose – This paper aims to establish the causal relationship between destination image and tourist
motivation and engagement.
Design/methodology/approach – A causal model with seven hypotheses was tested into a sample of
438 domestic tourists in Acapulco (Mexico).
Findings – Cognitive destination image is the main antecedent of tourist engagement, exerting an
important direct and indirect effect through push and pull motivations. Affective image also exerts a direct
effect on tourist engagement and an indirect effect through push and pull motivations. Only pull
motivations exert an influence on tourist engagement.
Research limitations/implications – The study is based on domestic tourists at a sun and beach
destination.
Practical implications – Destination management organisations should invest in the care, improvement
and promotion of tourism resources. Online and offline communication campaigns should be based on
tourism resources and experiences.
Originality/value – This paper fulfils three research gaps: destination image is associated with tourist
engagement; tourist motivations affect tourist engagement; and destination image is associated with
tourist motivations. [-]
