Purposive sampling was adopted for data collection and data analysis was carried out through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling techniques. The data for the study was collected both through the primary and secondary sources. The measuring items used for the study were sourced from existing validated scales and literature. The study has found that destination brand, entertainment, nature & climate are the significant dimensions of destination image, which in turn has a positive effect on risk perception and travel intention. It was also found that destination image has both direct and indirect effect on travel intention. The proposed model can successfully be employed for designing of marketing campaigns aiming at improving the destination image, risk perception and travel intention.
