Abstract

The popular culture-driven tourism sector in Indonesia has grown remarkably due to the widespread influence of the Korean Wave, which has reshaped the lifestyle and spending habits of younger generations. Nevertheless, scholarly research that holistically examines how lifestyle, Korean Wave exposure, and brand image jointly affect merchandise buying behavior at Korean-themed cafes remains scarce. This study investigates the impact of these three variables on merchandise purchase decisions at Kwangya Café, Lotte Shopping Avenue, South Jakarta, analyzing both individual and combined effects. A quantitative survey method was employed, and 100 respondents were chosen by purposive sampling according to criteria aimed at young tourists who are enthusiastic about Korean culture. A standardized Likert-scale questionnaire was used to collect the data, and SPSS version 26 was used to perform multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicated that purchase decisions were positively and statistically significantly impacted by lifestyle (β = 0.199; sig. 0.010), Korean Wave (β = 0.361; sig. 0.000), and brand image (β = 0.381; sig. 0.000). Together, the three variables showed a substantial influence, with an explanatory power of 81.8% (Adjusted R² = 0.818) and an F-value of 163.924. The most important aspect was found to be brand image. In addition to offering practical suggestions for business stakeholders and legislators looking to maximize the potential of Korean Wave-inspired cultural tourism in Indonesia, this study theoretically adds to the expanding body of research on popular culture-based consumer behavior in the tourism sector..

Abstract

This study examines the impact of brand image and memorable culinary experiences on customers’ repurchase intention at Uma Oma Cafe. A quantitative research approach was employed, using a survey of 100 respondents who had visited the café. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Data analysis used SPSS 24 software. The research results indicate that both brand image and memorable culinary experiences have a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention (Sig = 0.000; F = 19.855). The coefficient of determination shows that 29% of variables contribute to explaining a portion of customers’ repurchase behavior, while the remaining variance is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining a strong brand image and delivering memorable dining experiences as strategic efforts to enhance customer loyalty in the culinary industry. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the combined role of brand image and experiential factors in shaping repurchase intention.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of service innovation on customer satisfaction in the context of Nakaza Tour. Specifically, the research investigates how different aspects of service innovation such as digital technology usage, ease of access to information, and improvements in service delivery contribute to perceived service quality and ultimately affect customer satisfaction. Methods: The study adopts a descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected from 100 customers who had used Nakaza Tour services within the past six months, using structured questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the SmartPLS software to measure both direct and indirect relationships among the variables: Service Innovation (independent), Service Quality (mediating), and Customer Satisfaction (dependent). The SERVQUAL model was applied to assess service quality dimensions, while the Innovation Diffusion Theory provided a theoretical basis for understanding customer adoption of service innovations. Conlusion: The results indicate that service innovation has a significant positive impact on both service quality and customer satisfaction. Specifically, service innovations such as personalized travel packages, responsive online booking systems, and active communication via digital platforms significantly enhance service quality perceptions. Furthermore, service quality plays a mediating role in strengthening the impact of innovation on satisfaction. The SEM model explains 64% of the variance in customer satisfaction and reveals a total effect of 0.77 for service innovation.
