Abstract

Denne opgave tager udgangspunkt i, at Liège, trods et rigt og varieret turismetilbud, har begrænset kendskab på de internationale markeder og primært tiltrækker besøgende fra Belgien og nabolande. Formålet er at undersøge, hvilke faktorer der påvirker billedet af Liège som destination internationalt, med særlig vægt på, hvordan destinationsbilleder dannes uden tidligere besøg. Arbejdet bygger på en litteraturgennemgang af destination image-forskning (bl.a. kognitive og affektive komponenter samt funktionelle og psykologiske attributter), relevante strategidokumenter og sekundære markedstal, og diskuterer idéer fra oplevelsesmarketing som mulig vej til at positionere Liège som et førende valg. Opgaven er teoretisk og case-baseret og skitserer en analytisk ramme, der kan informere fremtidige markedsføringstiltag; specifikke resultater eller effekter rapporteres ikke i det foreliggende uddrag.

This assignment starts from the observation that Liège, despite a rich and varied tourism offer, has limited recognition in international markets and mainly attracts visitors from Belgium and neighboring countries. The aim is to identify which factors shape Liège’s image as a destination internationally, with a particular focus on how destination images are formed in the absence of prior visitation. The work draws on a literature review of destination image research (including cognitive and affective components and functional versus psychological attributes), relevant strategy documents, and secondary market statistics, and discusses experiential marketing ideas as a potential pathway to position Liège as a first-choice destination. The study is theoretical and case-led, outlining an analytical framework to inform future marketing efforts; specific findings or effects are not reported in this excerpt.
