Abstract: Taking Nanchang for example, the article analyzes and compares residents’ destination images and travel intentions of Hong Kong and Taiwan in Chinese central large cities for two reasons. One is to help authorities and enterprises forecast, run and manage the tourism market for Hong Kong and Taiwan in Chinese central large cities, and the other is to find out whether the difference of destination images of more than one destination leads to the difference of people’s travel intentions among these destinations. The investigation of 598 Nanchang citizens without having been to Hong Kong and Taiwan shows that Hong Kong has more dominant destination image components than Taiwan, and as a whole, the citizens’ travel intention of Hong Kong is significantly stronger than that of Taiwan. In addition, there are significant differences among different groups of citizens in travel intentions of both destinations and destination preferences. The results of logistic regression analysis indicate that most Hong Kong’s ascendant or inferior image factors influence the probability of Hong Kong’s being preferred than Taiwan significantly. The fact verified the causal connection between the difference of destination images and that of travel intentions among more than one destination in the way of potential tourists. Hongkong and Taiwan should pay more attention to expanding the tourism market of central regions, but the specific strategies of them ought to be different.
