Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Brand Gestalt on Revisit Intention at the Hombo Batu tourist attraction in South Nias Regency. This research employs a quantitative approach, with the population consisting of all visitors who have visited the Hombo Batu tourist attraction in South Nias Regency. A total of 100 respondents were selected using the purposive sampling method. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 3.0 software.The results of the study show that the Servicescape (X1) variable has a positive and significant effect, with an original sample value of 0.121, and is significantly related to revisit intention with a p-value of 0.008 < 0.05 (? = 5%). The Sensescape (X2) variable also shows a positive effect, with an original sample value of 0.354, and is significantly related to revisit intention with a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05 (? = 5%). Furthermore, the Stakeholder (X3) variable demonstrates a positive effect, with an original sample value of 0.233, and is significantly related to revisit intention with a p-value of 0.007 < 0.05 (? = 5%). Therefore, it can be concluded that Servicescape, Sensescape, and Stakeholder variables each have a positive and significant influence on Revisit Intention. These findings provide important implications for tourism marketing strategies, particularly in enhancing revisit intention activities.
