Abstract

ABSTRACT Presenting paradoxical features of destinations can be used to shape a destination’s unique personality. However, paradoxical features are a double-edged sword, and few studies proposed effective strategies to avoid negative effects and enhance positive effects. We propose separate presentation of paradoxical features helps enhance the paradoxical characteristics. Personality clarity and personality originality respectively mediated the impact of joint and separate presentation of paradoxical features on travel intentions. Additionally, the moderating effects of tourists’ experience on the relationship between the presentation of paradoxical features and travel intentions are examined. Finally, theoretical implications, practical implications, and directions for future research are presented.
