Therefore, a series of strategies need to be developed to attract more tourists to archaeological sites. This study assesses the literature on the causal effect of destination personality, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions among tourists who visit the archaeological sites. A conceptual framework was developed based on the literature propositions. This study contributes to the tourism literature by being one of the primary works in applying destination personality concept on archaeological sites. Furthermore, the findings of the research are anticipated to provide recommendations from the demand side which usually lacking for local authorities and destination marketing organizations’ in their branding and positioning strategies for destinations.
