The spatial reflection of a tourist destination refers to the physical and geographical characteristics of a destination that play an important role in shaping its attractiveness, transport accessibility, tourist activities, and experiences. The cultural heritage of a destination, including its traditions, customs, festivals and local art, has become a major attraction for tourists seeking authentic experiences and immersion in different cultures. Thus, proximity to natural, historical, and cultural attractions can make a destination more attractive. Destinations that are perceived as safe and well-managed are more likely to attract visitors. In addition, the accessibility of a destination through the transportation network, such as airports, roads, and public transportation, can affect its popularity among tourists. Thus, the destination is also a function of the mechanism that triggers the necessary infrastructure, temporary accommodation, catering and medical services, shopping centers, and recreation areas, which are crucial for attracting and accommodating tourists.
