Abstract: This article explores how socio-psychological factors of tourist destinations influence the formation of cross-cultural imaginations of teenagers. Cross-cultural imagination is defined as the ability to perceive and understand other cultures and their differences from one's own. The article reviews the literature on the main socio-psychological factors that affect cross-cultural imagination, such as motivation, attitude, stereotype, identity, and intercultural competence. It also discusses how these factors are shaped by the characteristics of tourist destinations, such as cultural diversity, authenticity, attractiveness, and accessibility. The article proposes a conceptual model that illustrates the relationships between these variables and suggests directions for future research. Tourism is one of the most important means of cultural exchange and learning in the contemporary world. It provides opportunities for people to encounter and interact with different cultures and to develop their cross-cultural awareness and sensitivity. This is especially relevant for teenagers, who are in a critical stage of their personal and social development and who are exposed to various sources of cultural information and influence. Teenagers' cross-cultural imagination can have significant implications for their identity formation, intercultural communication, and global citizenship. However, not all tourist destinations are equally conducive to fostering cross-cultural imagination. Some destinations may offer more diverse, authentic, attractive, and accessible cultural experiences than others. Moreover, some destinations may trigger different socio-psychological responses from tourists, such as motivation, attitude, stereotype, identity, and intercultural competence. These responses can affect how tourists perceive and understand other cultures and their differences from their own. Therefore, it is important to examine how socio-psychological factors of tourist destinations influence the formation of cross-cultural imaginations of teenagers. This article aims to address this gap in the literature by reviewing the existing theories and empirical studies on this topic and by proposing a conceptual model that integrates the main variables and relationships involved. The article also suggests directions for future research that can advance our knowledge and practice in this field.

Key words: cross-cultural imagination, socio-psychological factors, tourist destinations, teenagers.
