One of the most popular online dating apps in use nowadays is Tinder, which is simple and straight forward to use. People tend to seek out potential partners for all sorts of reasons; everyone has their agendas and needs to fulfil. Some may look for a long-lasting healthy relationship while others might look for a fling. It is in this context that this research seeks to investigate how the Uses and Gratifications theory helps to understand the usage patterns of the people who seek refuge in online dating, with particular focus on the use of Tinder in Pakistan. The research is based on a survey conducted from three major cities of Pakistan: Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi, where the maximum number of Tinder-users was reported. The respondents were between the ages of 18-40. Majority of the users identified themselves as Muslims.

Meanwhile, the interaction between E-WOM and celebrity endorsers has a negative effect on interest in visiting, meaning that the knowledge gained through celebrity endorser accounts on TikTok elaborated with E-WOM related to Labuan Bajo does not increase interest in visiting.
