Abstract

The development of technology has changed various sectors in life to be smart, including tourism. This study aims to analyze the effect of smart tourism technology attributes on visit intention and visiting tourist destinations. This study used a sample of 324 tourists in West Java Province, Indonesia. Partial Least Square is applied to test the relationship between variables. The results of the study revealed that smart tourism technology attributes such as smart information systems, smart tourism management, smart sightseeing, e-commerce systems, smart safety, smart traffic, and virtual tourism objects affect visit intention. The study also revealed the effect of visiting intentions on visits to tourist destinations. The findings of this study provide the basis for formulating strategies for implementing smart tourism technology that is appropriate in attracting tourist visits.Keywords: Smart tourism technology, Tourism destination, Tourist behavior, Visit intention.

Abstract

In the era of regional autonomy, Indonesian jurisdictions are increasingly racing to articulate distinct promotional identities to compete for global capital and tourism. However, this pursuit of distinction often yields a landscape of visual conformity. This study investigates the visual DNA of N=13 purposively selected, officially verified promotional brands to understand the structural forces behind this homogenization, explicitly excluding administrative heraldry to resolve the issue of categorical conflation. Employing a multi-method qualitative approach, the research combines Visual Content Analysis (VCA) with a three-stage Social Semiotic protocol (denotation, connotation, and myth) adapted from Roland Barthes. The findings reveal a significant paradox: while ethnic markers are utilized to signal authenticity, they are predominantly framed within a Global Modernist shell. This is characterized by the overwhelming dominance of English-language slogans (76.9%) and standardized sans-serif typography (84.6%). The analysis unmasks the Myth of Uniqueness, demonstrating that the branding process is governed by mimetic isomorphism—a bureaucratic reflex to imitate successful peers to secure institutional legitimacy. Consequently, local heritage is often reduced to a commodified ornament, leading to identity drift and a dilution of the city’s Unique Selling Proposition (USP). The study concludes that to break the cycle of visual mimicry, municipal governance must shift from top-down administrative projects to participatory, narrative-centric brand management. The research introduces Semiotic Due Diligence as a strategic requirement for developing authentic and resilient place brands in emerging economies.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming tourism by enabling personalised experiences, optimising operations, and supporting sustainable destination development. While extensive research has explored AI applications in advanced economies, studies remain limited in emerging contexts such as Indonesia. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how AI adoption can accelerate tourism destination development in Indonesia, a country with rich natural and cultural assets but significant digital, infrastructural, and governance challenges. Employing a qualitative strategic management approach, this study integrates SWOT–TOWS analysis and expert panel validation to identify internal and external factors influencing AI readiness. The findings position Indonesia in the Strength–Opportunity (SO) quadrant, suggesting that AI technologies—such as recommendation systems, virtual storytelling, and predictive analytics—hold significant potential for destination differentiation and sustainability. However, persistent barriers include low AI literacy, fragmented data systems, and regulatory limitations. The study contributes theoretically by contextualizing Innovation Diffusion Theory and Smart Tourism frameworks within a developing economy. Practically, it offers a strategic roadmap for inclusive and ethical AI adoption in tourism. Future research should explore quantitative modeling, cross-country comparisons, and the development of tourism-specific AI governance frameworks.

Abstract

Religious pilgrimage among Indonesia's urban Muslim Generation Z is undergoing a notable transformation, shaped by their digital fluency, heightened historical awareness, and evolving religious consciousness. This study explores these dynamics by extending the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with six contextual variables: religious commitment, historical literacy, scientific skepticism, perceived relevance, destination attractiveness, and digital social norms. Using a structured online survey conducted over six weeks in August-September 2025, data were gathered from 400 respondents. We applied Structural Equation Modeling (Partial Least Squares) to analyze the model. Results reveal that religious commitment, historical literacy, and perceived relevance are key drivers of favorable attitudes toward pilgrimage, while scientific skepticism introduces a countercurrent—highlighting this generation's demand for authenticity and intellectual engagement in spiritual practice. Notably, digitally embedded social norms strongly influence intention, reflecting the performative nature of religious expression in online networks. Attitude and intention were found to significantly shape actual travel behavior, aligning with TPB while revealing impulsive tendencies rooted in strong ideological beliefs. These findings offer fresh perspectives on youth religiosity, digital spirituality, and the socio-cultural fabric of Islamic tourism. For practitioners, the study provides actionable insights into designing experiences that are historically grounded, culturally resonant, and digitally relevant for Indonesia's emerging cohort of Muslim travelers.
