Abstract

Color affects people’s emotional state and choice intentions. When the destination image is colored and given a certain meaning, it will be a powerful tool for the destination brand positioning, the image design and the marketing strategy planning. By using the method of correspondence analysis and interviews, taking the cross-culture tourists’ color cognition about Chinese destination image as the research object, this paper concluded that, first, the color cognition of cross-culture tourists about Chinese destination image is basically accordant, and red, yellow, and green are the most common choice. Second, the cognitive structure of destination image color has a progressive attribution. Third, tourism experience makes the color cognition about destination image tend to be the same as the cultural background of the destination. Fourth, destination entity image is the main reason for the color cognition to transform. Finally, the paper indicated the defects of this study and put forward some suggestions for the future research.

Key words： Xi’an; China; color cognition; destination image; the groups of cross-culture tourists
