The rapid proliferation of social media has transformed the dynamics of destination marketing, with user - generated content (UGC) emerging as a critical driver of tourists’ perceptions and satisfaction. This study investigates the impact of UGC on destination image (cognitive and affective dimensions) and tourist satisfaction through the integrated lens of Social Influence Theory (SIT) and Uses and Gratifications Theory (U & G). Adopting a quantitative approach, data were collected from 200 active social media users in urban China via a structured questionnaire. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS - SEM) revealed that UGC - driven perceived gratifications significantly enhance both cognitive and affective destination images, with affective image fully mediating the relationship between perceived gratifications and tourist satisfaction. Internalization (SIT) emerged as the strongest predictor of perceived gratifications, while identification showed no significant direct effect. The findings underscore the centrality of emotional engagement in shaping satisfaction, offering theoretical advancements by bridging SIT and U & G frameworks. Practically, this study highlights the need for destination marketers to prioritize value-aligned UGC strategies to amplify affective resonance. Limitations include geographic specificity and sampling constraints, suggesting avenues for cross - cultural and longitudinal research.
