<![CDATA[AbstractThis study examines the effect of destination image on tourist’s visiting intention to Tenjolaya Tourism Village. Destination image represents tourists’ perceptions of a destination, encompassing cognitive, affective, and unique dimensions. In this study, destination image is measured through three indicators: cognitive image, affective image, and unique image, while visiting intention is assessed through transactional, preferential, referential, and exploratory intentions. A quantitative associative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 383 tourists who had visited Tenjolaya Tourism Village. Data analysis was conducted using rank-based regression and Spearman Rank correlation. The results reveal a correlation coefficient of 0.636 with a significance value of 0.000, indicating a strong and statistically significant relationship between destination image and visiting intention. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) shows that destination image explains 40.5% of the variation in tourists’ visiting intention. Affective aspects, such as village atmosphere and social interaction, contribute most significantly to increasing tourist’s interest, whereas cognitive aspects, particularly accessibility, still require improvement. These findings suggest that strengthening destination image, especially its emotional and experiential components, is essential for enhancing tourists’ intention to visit and recommend Tenjolaya Tourism Village.Keywords: Destination Image; Tourism Village; Tourist; Visiting IntentionAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh citra destinasi terhadap minat berkunjung wisatawan di Desa Wisata Tenjolaya.
