Abstract
This research delves into the determinants influencing tourists’ intentions to visit Mount Ijen, a prominent volcanic destination in Indonesia. The study incorporates several predictive factors, which include destination image, self-congruity, sensation-seeking, perceived value, and destination personality. Two hundred sixteen participants were totally engaged in the study, selected through a convenient sampling approach. The data analysis encompassed exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. The comprehensive analysis of the findings unveiled significant results: destination image notably impacts self-congruity, novelty-seeking, perceived value, and destination personality. Besides, a perceived value influences visit intention significantly. However, the fifth hypothesis concludes a significant effect of self-congruity, novelty-seeking, and destination personality on the visit intention. The research results enhance the understanding of volcano, crater, and geothermal tourism. The research deepens insights into the intricate dynamics between tourists’ perceptions of destination attributes and their intent to visit. Thorough exploration contributes to the discourse on geotourism and nature-based tourism, furnishing insights to steer destination management strategies and inspire further scholarly inquiries in this domain.
期刊介绍：
The Geoheritage journal is an international journal dedicated to discussing all aspects of our global geoheritage, both in situ and portable. The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism.
The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are:
- Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage;
- Geodiversity and geosites;
- On-site science, geological and geomorphological research:
- Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation
and management;
- Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby;
- Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international;
- Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use
policies;
- Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies;
- Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism;
- Geoparks: creation, management and outputs;
- Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change;
- Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies;
- International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites,
National Parks etc.;
- Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections
and all portable geoheritage;
- Education and training of geoheritage specialists;
- Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres,
on-site museums;
- Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
