Abstract: In the context of smart tourism, this paper delves into the intricate process of constructing tourism destination images. It examines how factors such as tourism demand and supply dynamics influence the formation and perception of these images. Using Xi'an as a case study, the research employs statistical methods including factor analysis, correlation analysis, and ANOVA to analyze data on tourism resources and tourist perceptions. The study identifies a pronounced imbalance in online service provision across different tourism sectors, with accommodations showing robust online presence while scenic spots lag behind. Additionally, the article validates a predictive model for destination selection in smart tourism, underscoring its efficacy. Despite these advancements, the study calls for deeper exploration into tourists' motivations and behaviors to refine image construction strategies further. This research contributes to a nuanced understanding of how smart tourism frameworks can enhance the systematic development and communication of tourism destination images.
