Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the number of tourist visits on the Regional Original Income (PAD) in the tourism sector in Deli Serdang Regency for the 2020–2024 period. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach with simple linear regression analysis based on official data on the number of tourists and tourism PAD over five years. The results show that the number of tourist visits has a positive and significant influence on the PAD in the tourism sector. The increase in tourist visits is consistently followed by an increase in the PAD contribution, although there are fluctuations during the post-pandemic recovery period. The coefficient of determination indicates that most of the variation in PAD can be explained by the number of tourists arriving, while other factors have only a small influence. These findings reinforce the importance of the tourism sector as a crucial component in supporting regional income, thus requiring the government to strengthen destination development strategies and sustainable tourism governance to maximize regional economic potential.

Abstract

This study examines the main motivations of tourists visiting Intramuros as a dark tourism destination and identifies the factors influencing their travel decisions. Specifically, it seeks to determine what motivates visitors to explore the historical and tragic aspects of Intramuros. The study used a quantitative research design conducted in Intramuros, Manila. Respondents were selected tourists visiting the site, and data were collected through structured survey questionnaires. Statistical treatments such as frequency distribution, percentage, and mean scores were applied to analyze the data. Findings reveal that tourists are highly motivated by the desire to learn about history, particularly stories of war, colonialism, and national heroes. Emotional connection, curiosity about tragic events, and cultural appreciation were identified as the top motivating factors influencing visitation. The results show that Intramuros remains appealing because of its preserved historical structures combined with meaningful dark historical narratives. Overall, historical interest and educational value emerged as the strongest motivational drivers among visitors. The study highlights the importance of strengthening historical interpretation and  storytelling to enhance visitor experience. Understanding tourism motivation in dark tourism destinations can help improve management strategies and promote sustainable cultural tourism development.
