<![CDATA[The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruptions to the global tourism industry, with the absence of tourists and flight restrictions exacerbating challenges for tourism-dependent economies like Indonesia. This study examines the socio-economic impact of the pandemic on Jakarta's tourism sector, focusing on the effectiveness of large-scale social restrictions (PSBB), economic repercussions, and long-term resilience strategies. The research highlights the role of Social Media Advertising, Electronic Word of Mouth (E-WOM), Celebrity Endorsements in influencing tourist behavior. Using a sample of 260 respondents who engaged in tourism activities, the data was analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS).

E-WOM and Social Media Advertising positively impact both Brand Image and Visit Intention. These results provide valuable insights for policymakers in navigating pandemic recovery strategies for Jakarta’s tourism sector.]]>
