Abstract

Promoting a destination challenges tourism managers when potential visitors have mixed images. Extending Koo and Fishbach's (2008) dynamic self-regulation research, this study uses diminishing sensitivity theory and proposes that a destination's goal progress information in advertising messages non-linearly influences tourists' motivation to visit the destination. A sample of 114 potential tourists was assigned randomly to scenarios employing a 2 (goal progress frame: to-date vs. to-go)×2 (goal progress rate: high vs. low) between-subjects design. The finding supports the proposition that the destination city's campaign goal progress rates moderate goal progress framing's impact on travel attractiveness. Consistent with diminishing sensitivity theory, tourists' motivation to adhere to the campaign goals depends on the distance between the current goal progress and the reference point (“differential goal progress frame effects”). Both tourists' social and personal benefits also mediate the differential goal progress frame effects.
