Основная цель исследования заключается в анализе эмоциональной связи участников с брендом туристской дестинации с использованием нейромаркетинговых методов, что подчеркивает необходимость перехода от традиционных субъективных оценок к более объективному измерению бессознательных потребительских реакций. Исследование основано на междисциплинарном подходе, который объединяет теоретический анализ и эмпирический нейромаркетинговый эксперимент. В эксперименте приняли участие пятнадцать респондентов, которым был продемонстрирован имиджевый видеоролик, направленный на продвижение туристского потенциала Казахстана. Эмоциональные реакции участников фиксировались с помощью программного обеспечения Face Reading и специализированного оборудования. Проведенный спектральный анализ позволил выявить многослойную структуру восприятия бренда и показать, каким образом различные визуальные элементы вызывают разные эмоциональные реакции у аудитории. Научная и практическая значимость исследования связана с более глубоким пониманием процессов эмоциональной идентификации в маркетинговых коммуникациях и совершенствованием стратегий брендинга дестинаций. Полученные результаты подтверждают, что использование визуальных кодов с противоположной эмоциональной валентностью способствует формированию более динамичного, запоминающегося и эмоционально привлекательного образа бренда. Практическая ценность работы заключается в повышении коммуникативной эффективности рекламного контента, совершенствовании маркетинговых кампаний и продвижении туристских услуг Казахстана на международном рынке. Интеграция нейромаркетинговых инструментов с анализом визуального контента позволяет разрабатывать более эмоционально насыщенные и убедительные рекламные материалы, которые способствуют укреплению лояльности к бренду и улучшению общего туристского опыта.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article investigates the phenomenon of emotional identification with a tourism destination brand, using Kazakhstan’s visual content as a case study. The main objective is to analyze participants’ emotional connection to the destination brand through neuromarketing methods, emphasizing the need to move beyond traditional subjective evaluations toward objective measurements of unconscious consumer responses. The research is grounded in an interdisciplinary methodological approach that combines theoretical analysis with an empirical neuromarketing experiment. Fifteen participants took part in the study and were shown an image-building promotional video aimed at presenting the tourism potential of the destination. During the viewing process, their emotional reactions were recorded in real time using Face Reading software supported by specialized hardware tools, which made it possible to capture both conscious and subconscious emotional responses to visual stimuli.The spectral analysis made it possible to identify the multidimensional nature of brand perception, illustrating how various visual elements generate different emotional reactions among viewers. The scientific and practical value of this research is connected with a deeper understanding of emotional identification in marketing communication processes and with improving destination branding strategies. The findings confirm that the use of visual codes with opposite emotional valence contributes to the creation of a more dynamic, memorable, and emotionally attractive brand image. The practical value includes improving the communicative power of advertising content, guiding the development of marketing campaigns, and promoting Kazakhstan’s tourism services internationally. By integrating neuromarketing insights with visual content analysis, the study provides actionable recommendations for creating emotionally compelling materials that strengthen brand loyalty and enhance the overall tourist experience.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>реклама</kwd><kwd>нейромаркетинг</kwd><kwd>идентификация</kwd><kwd>эмоциональное воздействие</kwd><kwd>потребители</kwd><kwd>визуальный контент</kwd><kwd>брендинг туристического направления</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>advertising</kwd><kwd>neuromarketing</kwd><kwd>identification</kwd><kwd>emotional appeal</kwd><kwd>consumers</kwd><kwd>visual content</kwd><kwd>destination branding</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Urry J.
