Abstract

This chapter explores the impact of digital storytelling on destination branding within the context of oleo tourism. Based on the S-O-R (Stimulus-Organism-Response) paradigm, hypotheses were developed to examine internal responses, such as immersion, as well as behavioural responses, including destination brand equity and behavioural intentions toward the destination brand, triggered by the use of a narrative video. We adopted a quantitative study, including the creation of a narrative video illustrating the oleo tourism process and a survey conducted with 383 participants. The results validated the hypotheses, demonstrating a positive effect of narrative satisfaction on immersion, as well as a significant impact of immersion on destination brand equity and behavioural intentions toward the olive oil destination. This chapter highlights the strategic role of digital storytelling in creating engaging experiences and strengthening the relationship between visitors and tourism destinations.
