Tourist satisfaction in era Society 5.0 as a marketing strategy

Abstract

This research aims to develop a marketing strategy for the Society 5.0 era by increasing tourist satisfaction in the lodging industry's business sector. Utilizing a quantitative approach with online data distribution, the sample in this study is 128 respondents. The PLS-SEM data analysis technique was used to analyze the questionnaire data. The study's results indicate that technological innovation services and tourist engagement influenced tourist satisfaction. In contrast, human innovation services, which have no direct impact on tourist satisfaction, must first be filtered through the variable measuring tourist engagement. The engagement of tourists is a moderating variable that influences tourist satisfaction. As technological and human innovation services directly experienced by tourists, they will affect tourist satisfaction. This research allows business actors in the lodging establishment industry to develop marketing strategies that increase tourist satisfaction, thereby increasing tourist trust and repeated visits in the future.
