certain attraction has been gaining attention from different parts of the world – the cafés.
With the busy world we are living in, the rise of the cafés is no surprise. Cafés were
introduced to the world in 1550 in Constantinople and reached the Philippines in 1740 in
Lipa, Batangas. From then on, the increase in cafés establishments has been
unstoppable. Filipinos in particular, have been invested in cafés that they are willing to
spend 100 pesos for just a cup (Philippine News Agency, 2018). In Rizal, particularly in
district one of the province, the rise of the café shops is evident. Multiple streets have
been plagued by café shops and are always crowded. Due to the establishment of
numerous cafés, different vibes, offered menus, and different attractions have been the

Theoretical Framework
This study was anchored on the theory of self-congruity. Sirgy (1985) explained
self-congruity theory as the effect of self-image congruence with product, brand, or store
image. It occurs as the interaction between product-user or patron image and self-
image. Product user image or patron image is defined as the stereotypic image of the
generalized product user or patron of the retail store. The loss lines brands, or stores
that possess images that are similar to the images that they perceive of themselves or
similar to their self-image (Stern, Bush, & Hair, 1977). It is, therefore, the match or
mismatch between consumer self-image and product image, brand image, or retail
image. Sirgy (1982) introduced four variants of self-congruity namely actual self-

tourists to travel to a destination. In other words, tourists who perceive a high level of
self-congruity will have a positive first impression of their destination. This may also tend

behaviors regarding destinations. As we ought to find out how an alluring spot attraction
can affect a tourist’s decision to visit an attraction based on what they thought was a
good adventure for personal desires, the theory of Sirgy is a way to understand the
course of decisions of every tourist. Utilizing the stated theory, we will be able to tell
how the tourists chose their chosen tourist destination or tourist attraction.
