Abstract:

Nusliko Park Ecotourism Area is a combination of natural and artificial tourism with the background of Lake Nusliko, which can be developed as a leading tourist attraction. Marketing strategies can be formulated by analyzing the factors influencing the decision to revisit. The decision to revisit is a key indicator that shows the success of a tourism marketing strategy. This study aimed to test and analyze the relationship between tourist experience and tourist satisfaction with the decision to revisit the Nusliko Park Ecotourism area. This type of research is descriptive research. The population in this study was visitors to the Nusliko Park Ecotourism area. The sample criteria were visitors who had visited the Nusliko Park Ecotourism area at least twice and were domiciled in North Maluku. Data were collected through questionnaires, and 114 questionnaires were returned. The research method used non-probability sampling with purposive sampling techniques. These two techniques were used to make it easier for the author to obtain samples because the Nusliko Park Ecotourism area was closed when the research was conducted. After all, it was under repair. Data were processed and analyzed using SEM and through SmartPLS 4.0 software. The study results indicate that the tourist experience and satisfaction positively influence the decision to revisit. Through this study, the satisfaction variable was also found to mediate the relationship between the tourist experience and the decision to revisit.
