Abstract [sv]

Forskningen om destinationsstereotyper har hittills varit relativt begränsad, trots att ämnet är högst relevant i en globaliserad värld där interkulturellt utbyte är centralt. För att undersöka hur besökares uppfattningar om olika destinationer formas har vi tillämpat en blandad metodansats och samlat material från olika medieplattformar. Det har vi gjort genom att analysera både kommersiella och personliga medieformat för att förstå hur mediala narrativ bidrar till skapandet och reproduktionen av stereotyper som påverkar turisters attityder och val. Resultatet visar att medieplatformar som TikTok påverkar uppfattningar om resmål genom att förstärka eller skapa stereotyper, särskilt då innehållet upplevs som mer trovärdigt än traditionell reklam. När informationen är lättillgänglig, personlig och delas mellan användare sprids stereotyper snabbare, vilket i sin tur påverkar resebeslut.

Abstract [en]

Research on destination stereotypes in tourism remains relatively limited, despite the topic’s high relevance in a globalized world where intercultural exchange is central. To examine how visitors’ perceptions of different destinations are formed, we applied a mixed-methods approach and collected material from various media platforms. This was done by analyzing both commercial and personal media formats to understand how media narratives contribute to the creation and reproduction of stereotypes that influence tourists’ attitudes and destination choices. The results show that media platforms such as TikTok shape perceptions of destinations by reinforcing or creating stereotypes, particularly because the content is perceived as more credible than traditional advertising. When information is accessible, personal, and shared among users, stereotypes spread more rapidly, which in turn influences travel decisions.
