Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of cultural values, local wisdom, and marketing strategies on tourists’ purchase intention toward Incoang Batik souvenirs in Sungai Penuh, as well as the role of Incoang Batik in preserving Kerinci cultural identity and the traditional Incoang script. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative explanatory research approach using survey methods through questionnaire distribution to tourists and consumers who had seen, recognized, or purchased Incoang Batik in Sungai Penuh. The independent variables were cultural values, local wisdom, and marketing strategy, while the dependent variable was tourists’ purchase intention. Results: The findings revealed that cultural values had a positive and significant influence on tourists’ purchase intention toward Incoang Batik souvenirs in Sungai Penuh. In contrast, local wisdom and marketing strategy showed no significant influence. However, simultaneously, all three variables significantly affected tourists’ purchase intention, contributing 10.4% to its variance. Conclusions: The study concludes that cultural values constitute the most influential factor in increasing tourists’ purchase intention toward Incoang Batik souvenirs. Limitations: In addition, the research relied on questionnaire-based responses and employed a quantitative approach that could not deeply explore tourists’ cultural interpretations and experiences of Incoang Batik. Contributions: This study contributes to the development of cultural tourism and the creative economy literature by integrating cultural values, local wisdom, and marketing strategy into one research model.

Abstract

This study examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI)-based e-tourism marketing and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) in shaping destination image and sustainable tourist loyalty in rural tourism. Using a quantitative approach with data collected from 290 respondents, this study applies Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) to analyze the relationships among variables. The findings reveal that AI-based e-tourism marketing and e-WOM significantly influence destination image, which in turn has a strong effect on sustainable tourist loyalty. In addition, both AI-based marketing and e-WOM directly affect loyalty, although their indirect effects through destination image are stronger. These results highlight the critical role of perception formation in digital tourism marketing. The study contributes to the literature by integrating technological, social, and perceptual dimensions into a unified framework and introducing sustainable tourist loyalty as a long-term outcome. Practically, the findings provide insights for tourism stakeholders in developing adaptive digital marketing strategies to enhance competitiveness and sustainability in rural tourism.
