Abstract

Understanding how tourists prioritize competing destination attributes is critical for strengthening destination competitiveness and informing sustainable tourism development. However, limited empirical research has examined how local tourists trade off and prioritize destination attributes in their destination choices, particularly in Lombok, Indonesia. This study examines local tourists’ preferences and assesses the relative importance of destination attributes in their destination choice. A quantitative survey was conducted among local tourists visiting destinations across Lombok, and the data were analyzed using conjoint analysis. Five destination attributes were examined: accessibility, tourist attractions, amenities, ancillary services, and price. The findings indicate that accessibility is the most important destination attribute, followed by price, tourist attractions, amenities, and ancillary services. The conjoint model demonstrated statistically significant agreement between observed and estimated preferences, indicating satisfactory predictive validity. At the attribute level, tourists preferred good road conditions, affordable prices, and destinations offering natural scenery and cultural diversity. These findings highlight accessibility, affordability, and natural and cultural attractions as priority areas for strengthening Lombok’s destination competitiveness and provide practical guidance for destination managers and tourism stakeholders in developing strategies aligned with local tourists’ preferences.

Abstract

This study examines key factors influencing guest satisfaction and dissatisfaction at Sheraton Senggigi Beach Resort (SSBR) based on online reviews, comparing high-rated (5-Star and 4-Star) and low-rated (3-Star, 2-Star, and 1-Star) reviews to identify aspects driving positive and negative guest perceptions. A content analysis was conducted on 1,921 English-language reviews from TripAdvisor spanning 2005 to 2024, with thematic analysis employed to uncover patterns in guest experiences. The findings reveal that positive reviews emphasize excellent service, well-maintained facilities, strategic location, and cleanliness as primary drivers of satisfaction, whereas negative reviews highlight outdated room conditions, inadequate service, and cleanliness issues as major sources of dissatisfaction. This study offers a unique comparative analysis of guest reviews, contributing to the academic literature by demonstrating how online reviews can be leveraged to understand guest experiences at luxury hotels while addressing gaps in research on rating-based review differences.
