Abstract
Research on tourism photography heavily focuses on semantic content and context of
photo-taking, so that the existing literature shows dominant qualitative approaches. On the
other hand, photographic content, such as color, is often overlooked in research on tourism
photography. This paper adopts techniques for quantifying and analyzing colors of destination
photography. It elaborates the newly adopted digital image processing technique and validates
it as an alternative method for quantitative research of destination photography. Eventually,
this paper proves that color is a valid research proxy of visual marketing survey of
destinations, and it further provides future research agenda in the use of the newly introduced
method for tourism photography research.
