Learning from the basic ideas about the three dimensions of branding, David Dai consider five dimensions of destination branding as popularity, awareness, trust, reputation and loyalty. For his perspective, marketing communication should have three points and one unity. The three points are: advertising should have a memory point, product should have a selling point and marketing activities should have the tipping point. As for the "unity", it is necessary for sales channels, positioning channels and communication channels.
