This number was selected by stratified random sampling using stratified-proportional sampling. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed through the opinions of experts in the field of tourism, as well as the validity of convergence and divergence and the reliability of the instrument were confirmed by using Cronbach's alpha test. SPSS26 statistical software was used for data processing and the SmartPLS3 structural equation model was used to fit the measurement model. The results of the model showed that the dimensions of the mental image of the brand were able to explain (72%) of the changes in tourism development. Among the dimensions of the mental image of the brand, the most observed effect is related to the cognitive image (awareness) and the action image (loyalty), followed by the unique image, the inherent image, and finally the emotional image, which has the greatest impact on the tourism development of Marivan city.
