Verena Schwaighofer analyses the currently transferred image of the United Arab Emirates as a tourist destination and to what extent the traditional Arabian culture is integrated into the image strategies of image developers in this country. First of all, a detailed theoretical overview referring to various image types, the current image transfer including critical topics related to the religion of Islam, women's role in society, behaviour, body language and dress code and the open-mindedness of the United Arab Emirates regarding local traditions related to the religion of Islam, is given. In the empirical part, a mixed method, including a qualitative media analysis (focusing on print and new media of image developers as well as newspaper articles published by journalists in the United Arab Emirates and the surrounding countries) and qualitative expert interviews are selected as appropriate research methodology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Verena Schwaighofer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3658045205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783658045203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer Gabler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.42d","brand":"Verena Schwaighofer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940827627775,"sku":"9783658045203","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_be534679-1486-44bb-9e3c-2fa78ca60bc6.jpg?v=1681449399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tourist-destination-images-and-local-verena-schwaighofer-9783658045203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
