DESTINATION IMAGE AND INTENTION TO RECOMMEND: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF INTENTION TO REVISIT
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study empirically examines the influence of destination image and intention to revisit on intention to recommend and the mediating role of intention to revisit in the relationship between destination image and intention to recommend. The research focuses on Sunan Ampel religious tourism site visitors in Surabaya, utilizing non-probability sampling with the purposive sampling method. The sample consists of individuals who have previously visited a religious site in Surabaya, Indonesia. There were 267 respondents participated in this study. This study found destination image has a significant influence on the intention to revisit and the intention to recommend. Furthermore, the intention to revisit significantly affects the intention to recommend. Finally, destination image significantly influences the intention to recommend through the mediating role of intention to revisit. Suggestions for religious tourism managers include stimulating tourists to have a high intention to recommend by providing easy access and comprehensive information. Improvements in facilities should be made to ensure that tourists can comfortably utilize them.
