Abstract

Today, the brand of tourism destinations plays a significant role in their success and also identifying opportunities for co-creation of the brand of tourism destinations can play a significant role in developing and promoting the brand of these destinations. The main goal of this research is to identify the tourism brand's entrepreneurial opportunities in the three stages before, during and after the trip.In this study, in order to identify opportunities for tourism brand co-creation, first a semi-structured interview was conducted with domestic tourists who traveled to Tehran in August 2016, who were selected judiciously. Then the quantitative entropy method was used to prioritize the opportunities. From the text analysis of the interviews, 53 sub-themes and 13 main themes were identified in the form of 3 main axes (before, during and after the trip). The axis includes 4 opportunities before the trip, 4 opportunities during the trip and finally 5 opportunities after the trip.The results of the qualitative research indicate the importance of searching and gathering information in the pre-travel stage, interaction in the travel stage, recommendation and ordering (word of mouth) in the post-travel stage are the most important. Quantitative findings also show that content production is the most important opportunity and destination protection is the least important opportunity from the point of view of marketing and tourism experts.
