Abstract

This study analyzes the image that European tourists have about the Canary Islands and each of its islands. An online interview (CAWI) was used in 19 European countries, where tourists associated the islands with words. These associations were classified as push factors. Through the Social Network Analysis methodology (SNA), the study tries to detect the factors that define the seven Canary Islands and their umbrella brand. Network analysis reveals the structural characteristics of the word network. This study helps to make a more adequate promotion of the Canary Islands, both jointly and individually.
