However, from 2016 to 2020, the number of tourists visiting tourist destinations decreased since the tourism products offered did not meet the tourists’ expectations and desires, the minimum distribution of tourism products provided, lacking promotion made to the tourists, and the people involved in the tourism industry did not perform optimum services to the tourists. Another problem was the minimum information of the culture, or local culture of an area, tourism products, distribution services, tourism destination promotion, and the characteristics of local society causing tourists reluctant to visit some areas they did not know.
