Abstract

Culinary tourism has emerged as a key driver in strengthening destination competitiveness, particularly in regions such as Lahat where authentic local cuisine is central to the visitor experience. This research explores how social media, tourist experiences, and brand awareness contribute to the development of culinary tourism in Lahat’s hospitality sector. A quantitative, explanatory approach was employed, involving 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were obtained via structured questionnaires distributed both directly at culinary venues and through online platforms, and subsequently analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression with SPSS.The analysis indicates that social media engagement, tourist experience, and brand awareness all exert significant positive effects on culinary tourism. Among these, tourist experience proved to be the strongest predictor, demonstrating the importance of food quality, ambience, and service encounters in shaping visitor satisfaction and loyalty. Social media was found to be effective in influencing travel decisions by showcasing user-generated and visually appealing content, while brand awareness enhanced destination recognition and encouraged word-of-mouth promotion. Together, the three variables accounted for 62% of the variance in culinary tourism outcomes, reflecting their combined influence in shaping tourist behavior and destination appeal.The study enriches the academic discourse by providing empirical evidence from an emerging culinary destination, illustrating how digital interaction, experiential value, and brand identity converge to promote sustainable tourism. From a managerial standpoint, the results emphasize the need for stakeholders to adopt digital storytelling, cultivate authentic culinary experiences, and strengthen Lahat’s gastronomic branding to secure its position as a distinctive culinary tourism destination.

Abstract

This research was carried out to evaluate video advertisements for the Ayik Pacar tourist destination in Lahat Regency, South Sumatra using the Customer Response Index (CRI) instrument with the AISAS (Attention, Interest, Search, Action, Share) concept. The research population is consumers who are reached while the tourist destination video advertisement is broadcast, with a sample size of 100 people. The research results show that all four models in the AISAS concept provide results with different CRI values. The four models studied include, the first AISAS model produces a CRI value of 21 percent, the second AIAS model produces a CRI value of 30 percent, the third AISS model produces a CRI value of 38 percent and the fourth AIS model produces the highest CRI value of 55 percent. An increase in the CRI value shows the best effectiveness of the advertising message in the fourth model. At the same time, the third model also shows quite good effectiveness, although it has not yet reached a value of more than 50 percent, but the CRI value is already greater than the No Search value for consumer responses. Apart from the CRI results, it is known that a new consumer response pattern has emerged, namely that consumers will not immediately plan to visit tourist destinations or even look for comparative information from the tourist destination they are going to.

The results of this research also show that the other four variables, namely the direct influence of service quality on customer loyalty, as well as the influence of service quality on trust and satisfaction, have an insignificant influence. Therefore, to increase customer loyalty to three-star hotels in Palembang, it is necessary to look for other factors that have a stronger and more significant influence.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and test the initial consumer acceptance of the innovation of Muara Enim pindang using kemang fruit instead of the traditional souring agents like tamarind and pineapple. This research used a Research and Development model with a focus on product testing. The study used a questionnaire with 93 consumers in South Sumatra who were familiar with pindang. Product acceptance was evaluated using organoleptic characteristics including colour, aroma, texture and taste in three parts of the product: fish part, soup and seasonings. Descriptive and Net Promoter Score (NPS) analysis were applied to determine the acceptance, promotion, and attributes that needed improvement. This study shows the innovation was welcomed, with a total NPS score of +30. The highest scored attributes are broth taste (NPS score of +59), fish component taste (+55) and broth texture (+55), which means that the primary sensory aspects of the innovation were accepted by consumers. But, the taste of condiment, taste of fish component, and texture of condiment are lower, indicating that there is potential to improve the visual appearance and supporting components. The socio demographic profile of the respondents also shows that millennials and Generation Z are the potential consumers, with family oriented visits and growing digital payment. The results suggest that the innovation of Muara Enim pindang has a potential as local gastronomic product, but needs improvement to enhance sensory integrity and consumer acceptance. The research suggests enhancing visual attributes, focusing on taste consistency, and marketing approaches that combine local identity, family and digital trends..
