An analysis of the use of ICH in the context of social networks will also illuminate which particular tourist image is being transmitted by the various agents and stakeholders that interact with social networks. In this vein, this chapter will present a case study based on the Fête de l'Ours, a celebration performed in three rural villages in the south of France, looking at how it is explained within a particular social network, namely, Instagram. In this way, the case study will aim to: (i) identify the elements of the festivity that are highlighted by locals and visitors in their Fête de l'Ours account on Instagram; and (ii) analyse how locals, visitors and stakeholders explain and share the experience of the festival.","PeriodicalId":339614,"journal":{"name":"Tourism marketing in Western Europe","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133638178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Encapsulation and decapsulation is introduced as an analytical tool to explore the study's material and is presented in the following analysis. After a short introduction to our methodology and case, empirical material from interviews with professional social media influencers sponsored by the DMO to promote the destination is used to show how users negotiate online presence and social media content during their travels in Greenland. In conclusion, the trade- offs and balancing acts of being 'online' and 'off the beaten track' are discussed, seeing them as equally important but at times hard to reconcile.","PeriodicalId":339614,"journal":{"name":"Tourism marketing in Western Europe","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125485845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study tentatively suggests that nationality influences the richness and intensity of respondents' associations with Linz where the internationals were more likely to have a higher number of spontaneous associations (keywords) than Austrians, which is in contrast with that of Reilly (1990) reporting that respondents living far away from a destination were found to lack a vivid image of it. Moreover, the Nazi past appears to be still deeply rooted in Linz's brand despite the DMO's continuous attempts to reposition the destination's image by consciously or subconsciously trying to refute its difficult heritage and focusing its marketing efforts on promoting Linz's vivid cultural life.","PeriodicalId":339614,"journal":{"name":"Tourism marketing in Western Europe","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133150321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
