| description | Studies on intention-to-revisit is important in understanding consumers'
(tourists') behavior in relation to their decision to revisit a tourism destination. To
determine the factors which influence a tourist's intention to visit an area more
than once, a model of intention-to-revisit an ecotourism destination in Kerinci-
Jambi was developed and tested using path analysis.
The results of the study indicate that domestic tourists' intention-to-revisit are
significantly influence by their accessibility to information sources (from
professional advice, advertisement, and other-tourism support), the variety of
information sources, tourists' perception, satisfaction, image of the destination,
and tourists' preference, simultaneously. The results provided an important tool
for the application of an intention-to-revisit model in developing an ecotourism
promotional strategy in Kerinci District, particularly, the combination of the
promotional components, namely; publicity, advertisements, and personal
selling.
Kerinci District attracted a target market of domestic tourists with an average
age of 24 years and a monthly average income of US $80. These domestic
tourists observed that Kerinci District has strengths in product characteristics
based on nature, serenity, and historical/cultural attractions. Hence, Kerinci is
appropriate to be promoted as an integrated ecotourism destination with core
attractions that include Kerinci Seblat National Park, complimentary attractions
that include Kerinci Lake Festival , and supporting attractions that include
features surrounding the park.
The analysis on the effectiveness of the existing promotional programs
indicated that the variety of information sources had the highest effect on
domestic tourists' intention-to-revisit. The level of accessibility to information
sources from other-tourism-support had the second effect on domestic tourists'
intention-to-revisit, followed by professional advice, and advertisement which
has the lowest effect.
A model of domestic tourists' intention-to-revisit a destination could be used to
develop ecotourism promotional strategy in Kerinci District, Jambi, Indonesia. |
