Modeling Interest in Visiting Through Expected Values in Tourism at Solok Regency, Indonesia
Get PDFPurpose: This study aims to determine the effect of Digital Marketing, Local Wisdom and Facilities on Tourist Interests in Visiting Tourism in Solok Regency.
Theoretical framework: Competition for tourist destinations requires understanding, apart from tourism destinations or tourism-specific factors, the inclusion of factors that affect competition for companies and organizations involved in the production of tourism "products". In other words, a tourist destination is competitive if it can attract and satisfy potential tourists and this competition is determined by tourism-specific factors and broader factors that influence tourism service providers. (Trusov, 2016)
Design/methodology/approach: The sample size in this study was adjusted to the Structural Equation Model, which became Structural Equation (SEM). This means that a minimum of 200 samples must be included in the SEM study using the MLE estimation model.
Findings: The findings in this study prove that facilities have a significant impact on the interest of visiting tourists. This proves that interest in visiting will increase along with the good facilities offered at a tourist destination, which is because the expectations of tourists who come before visiting a tourist attraction are to get satisfaction or happiness after visiting the tourist attraction.
Research, Practical & Social implications: The implicative suggestion from this study is that tourism managers must also prioritize developments that occur in the tourism industry so that tourism objects are not left behind in the face of competition with other tourist objects.
Originality/value: The drastic decrease in tourist visits to Solok Regency makes this a gap in this study. So this research focuses on analyzing the factors that are considered relevant to influence the decision to visit, namely product, price and digital marketing. The novelty in this study lies in the object under study, namely all existing tourist destinations with the research subjects being visiting tourists using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of marketing science, especially in the tourism sector.RESUMO
Propósito : Este estudo tem como objetivo determinar o efeito do Marketing Digital, da Sabedoria Local e das Instalações sobre os Interesses Turísticos no Turismo Visitante na Regência de Solok.
Estrutura teórica: A competição pelos destinos turísticos exige compreender, para além dos destinos turísticos ou dos fatores específicos do turismo, a inclusão dos fatores que afetam a concorrência das empresas e organizações envolvidas na produção de “produtos” turísticos. Em outras palavras, um destino turístico é competitivo se consegue atrair e satisfazer potenciais turistas e essa competição é determinada por fatores específicos do turismo e fatores mais amplos que influenciam os prestadores de serviços turísticos. (Trusov, 2016)
Design/metodologia/abordagem: O tamanho da amostra neste estudo foi ajustado ao Modelo de Equações Estruturais, que passou a ser Equação Estrutural (SEM). Isso significa que um mínimo de 200 amostras deve ser incluído no estudo SEM usando o modelo de estimativa MLE.
Descobertas: O nome do destino é o elemento que mais contribui para a formação da marca do destino West Java. Além disso, o nome do destino é acessível para que os visitantes se lembrem e influenciem sua decisão de visita. Entretanto, de acordo com os entrevistados, as tags e logotipos também são elementos essenciais nos destinos de marca em West Java.
Pesquisa, implicações práticas e sociais: A sugestão implicativa deste estudo é que os gestores de turismo também devem priorizar os desenvolvimentos que ocorrem na indústria do turismo para que os objetos turísticos não sejam deixados para trás em face da concorrência com outros objetos turísticos.
Originalidade/valor: A drástica diminuição de visitas turísticas à Regência de Solok torna isso uma lacuna neste estudo. Assim esta investigação centra-se na análise dos fatores que se consideram relevantes para influenciar a decisão de visita, nomeadamente produto, preço e marketing digital. A novidade neste estudo reside no objeto em estudo, ou seja, todos os destinos turísticos existentes, sendo os sujeitos da pesquisa turistas visitantes usando a abordagem Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Espera-se que os resultados deste estudo contribuam para o desenvolvimento da ciência do marketing, especialmente no setor do turismo.

Research, Practical & Social Implications: The study pointed out that technology benefited property in a supportive way. On the other hand, it indicated that technology is just one factor that affects buying decisions in Bangkok. It is not the main factor as compared to price since PropTech has still not fully involved in the property industry.
