Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the role of advertising on market confidence recovery, which is defined as regaining the intention of potential tourists to visit (visit intention) a post disaster destination. In particular, We will focus on the impact of different types of media advertisements on visit intention to a  post-disaster destination, as well as the interactive impact of destination image on visit intention, by comparing the situation in severely damaged regions with other regions of Japan after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
