In this sense, to be recognized as desirable places to visit, to live or to invest in, with a harmonious integration among the stakeholders, it is imperative to frame destinations’ distinctiveness using the experience marketing perspective. Through a combination of an integrative literature review and an academic panel with diverse expertise, this conceptual research aims to conceptualize and depict the environmental features composing destinationscape as a construct, considering the dynamic interplay of multiple ‘scapes’. As a result, the proposed conceptual framework comprises five second-order and 17 first-order dimensions. This research is expected to contribute to the theory around destination experience and experiencescape by offering a comprehensive view, where destinationscape emerges from continuous interactions between the destination’s external environment and its stakeholders. Consequently, this research contributes to destination competitiveness and governance by conceptualizing and providing a framework around destinationscape.engScapeExperiencescapeDestination environmentTourism experienceStakeholdersConceptual frameworkjournal article10.54055/ejtr.v41i.40871314-0817
