Despite growing demand for multifunctional lodging, bookings via Tiket.com remain low, highlighting the need for empirical research on how consumers perceive digital information on online travel agent (OTA) platforms. Using a positivist paradigm and a quantitative explanatory approach, the study surveyed 164 respondents.

The findings suggest that enhancing review quality, ensuring brand consistency, and adopting more integrated digital communication strategies are essential for improving booking conversions for TD Home via Tiket.com.]]>
