ABSTRACT

Island tourism presents the natural beauty and the authenticity of local culture that provides a unique experience for foreign tourists. If not being managed properly, tourist abundance at the island destination can threaten the destination quality which can actually harm tourists and reduce trust. The main objective of this study is to construct an understanding regarding the effect of destination quality on trust and behavioural intention. The sample in this research was 450 international tourists visiting Bali, Indonesia. Bali is a natural-based and cultural-based tourism destination which offers natural beauty, the authenticity of local culture, and unique cultural attractions. WarpPLS was used to analyze the effect of destination quality, trust, word-of-mouth intention, and revisit intention. The findings show that destination quality has a significant effect on trust. Trust is proven to have a significant effect on word-of-mouth intention and revisit intention. In addition, the results of this study also show that destination quality has a direct effect on word-of-mouth intention and revisit intention. More in-depth results show that in generation Y, destination quality has no significant effect on word-of-mouth intention and revisit intention.

RÉSUMÉ

Le tourisme insulaire offre aux touristes étrangers une expérience unique. Si elle n’est pas correctement gérée, l’abondance des touristes à destination dans l’île peut menacer la qualité de la destination, ce qui peut nuire aux touristes et à la notoriété du lieu. Cette étude visait à comprendre l’effet de la qualité de la destination sur la notoriété et l’intention comportementale. L’échantillon de cette recherche était constitué de 450 touristes internationaux en visite à Bali, en Indonésie. Bali est une destination touristique naturelle et culturelle qui permet aux touristes d’admirer la beauté naturelle, de découvrir l’authenticité de la culture locale et des attractions culturelles uniques. Nous avons utilisé le logiciel WarpPLS pour analyser l’effet de la qualité de la destination, la notoriété, l’intention de bouche à oreille et l’intention de revisiter. Les résultats montrent que la qualité de la destination a un effet significatif sur la notoriété. Il est prouvé que la notoriété a un effet significatif sur l’intention de bouche à oreille et sur l’intention de revisiter. De plus, les résultats de cette étude montrent que la qualité de la destination a un effet direct sur l’intention de bouche à oreille et sur l’intention de revisiter.
