Abstract
Destination positioning is a relatively new field of study. This paper addresses the suitability of Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) for destination positioning research. An IPA using 20 cognitive attributes was employed to analyze positions held by a competitive set of give short break destinations. While the IPA output was useful for examining the strengths and weaknesses of each destination, the combined IPA matrix of all destinations proved cumbersome as a positioning analysis tool. Therefore, a factor-analytic approach was used which proved effective in identifying distinctive positions. The results also proved readily communicable to tourism decision makers.
