ABSTRACT

 

Memorable tourism experiences have become an important concept in tourism marketing, especially in cultivating visitor intentions to revisit. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of MTE's dimensions on intention to return to the Karanggulung Geopark in Kebumen. This study involved as many as 100 tourists who visited the tourist attraction. The sampling technique used is convenience sampling. The collected data were processed using SPSS version 28 and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results showed that of the seven variables from MTE's, there were four variables that were accepted and three variables that were rejected. Local culture, knowledge, involvement, and novelty are significantly proven to have an effect on revisit intention. Meanwhile, hedonism, refreshment, and meaningfulness are not proven to have an effect on revisit intention. Novelty is the variable that has the greatest influence on tourist intentions to make a repeat visit to the Karanggulung Geopark.
