We are delighted to announce the call for extended abstracts for the track on "Fashion in Tourism Communication and Marketing" dedicated to a virtual special issue of Tourism Review on ‘Fashion in Tourism Communication and Marketing’ (2022 Impact Factor: 7.8) at the “2024 Global Fashion Management Conference at Milan”. This track aims to bring together researchers and industry experts to explore the dynamic intersection of fashion and tourism communication and marketing.


Track Description:

Fashion plays a crucial role in tourism marketing, influencing travelers' perceptions, choices, and overall experiences. In recent years, the convergence of fashion and tourism has emerged as a captivating and influential force in shaping consumer behaviors and tourism destination choices.

Despite the increasing recognition of the symbiotic relationship between fashion and tourism, which is also in academic studies (Gravari-Barbas & Sabatini, 2023), communication and marketing aspects remain with a notable research gap.

The "Fashion in Tourism Communication and Marketing" track seeks to unravel the multifaceted relationship between these two industries, exploring how fashion influences travel decisions and how tourism destinations leverage fashion in their marketing strategies.

We invite submissions that address, but are not limited to the following topics:

1. Destination Branding through Fashion: Analyzing the role of fashion in promoting and establishing the brand identity of tourism destinations.

2. Fashion Events and Tourism: Investigating the impact of fashion events, shows, and festivals on communicating specific destinations.

3. Fashion Influencers and Travel Trends: Exploring the influence of fashion influencers and bloggers on travel trends and destination choices.

4. Cultural Significance of Fashion in Tourism: Examining the cultural aspects of fashion and how it contributes to the overall tourism experience.

5. Digital Marketing and E-commerce in Fashion Tourism: Assessing the role of digital platforms, e-commerce, and social media in promoting fashion-related tourism experiences.
