Abstract

Most research in higher education hasexamined the academic factors that influence international students" choices of selecting a destination to study overseas (pre-purchase behaviour). Studies on how non-academic factors affect current academic value, and future behavioural intention (post-purchase behaviour) remains scant despite its importance. This conceptual paper closes the research gap by introducing a research model to determine the influence of cognitive and affective travel destination image (TDI) on international students" academic value and future tourism intention. This study could be a useful, informative tool for the host country, higher education administrators, and tourism marketers to rebrand their marketing efforts and develop strategies to woo current and future international students.
