ABSTRACT
Digital marketing is increasingly becoming a key driver in communications and advertising, including tourist destinations. A well-planned digitization program can have the potential to dramatically affect a destination's brand perception and reputation. Ensuring that a brand's destination has built an online presence, as well as increasing engagement with its audience is an effective way to keep the brand in the minds of consumers. There are several tactics that can be used for digital marketing activities that can encourage the growth of tourist destinations, which will be described in this abdimas program. The implementation of community service is carried out using three methods, namely: SWOT analysis, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and interactive discussions between related parties, academics, and campus millennials. Identification and inventory of important issues, as well as programs that have been implemented are traced through direct interviews with related parties for the previous 3 year period (2017-2020). A number of important principles are explored in this abdimas program which includes: Digital Marketing, Brand Destination, and Sustainability Management of tourist destinations. Tabulation of changes began to appear from the increase in digital iteration, and brand destination program initiatives from participants. Furthermore, it can be concluded that, deep concepts from Online Consumer Behavior to Service Quality, become an understanding that completes the elements of a successful marketing program in developing and increasing the tourist attraction of the Dinoyo river.
