The research was carried out to examine the relationship between destination brand authenticity, destination brand self-congruence, destination brand engagement, revisit and recommendation intention. The universe of the research consists of tourists who have visited any tourism destination in the last 12 months. The sample size was evaluated on the basis of the data in the 405 questionnaire forms. Smart PLS 3.3 was used to test the proposed structural model. When the results of the path analysis were examined, it was determined that the destination brand authenticity and destination brand self-congruence had a positive effect on destination brand engagement, destination brand engagement had a positive effect on revisit intention, and destination brand authenticity had a positive effect on recommendation intention.
