Abstract
ABSTRACTThe notion of conspicuous consumption in tourism, along with the perception of destination conspicuousness, is an area that warrants more attention and exploration in tourism research. Thus, to expand the relatively limited literature on tourists' perception of destination conspicuousness, this study aimed to investigate its antecedents and outcomes. Based on the sample of 502 Serbian tourists, the study confirmed that factors such as destination brand experience and destination personality precede the perception of destination conspicuousness, while destination attachment and loyalty were found to be the outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in the paper.
