AB Policy makers, practitioners and analysts have focused on the psychology to induce consumersto new products. These new eye-catching packaging products in tourism and hospitality industries andbeyond are commercialized to thousands of home thanks to the media. We are living in times, digitaltimes where organic image plays a pivotal role in arousing emotions and experiences, although theseexperiences were not authentic. Following this discussion, initialized some time ago by D. Maccannelland other sociologists, the present paper explores the philosophical roots of image to expand the currentunderstanding about our ocular-centrism. At time, tourists select a destination, they are moved by “thewish of majority”, but once destination is maturated, its attractiveness declines. What seems to be interestingto discuss here is the connection between perceived safety (risk) and attraction (organic image).Following I. Kant’s contributions, we present a conceptual model to understand how the dilemma of safetyleads consumers to visual pollution.
