This research aims to analyze the influence of TikTok influencer 'Mbok Nginep's' credibility on booking intentions in the accommodation industry. Influencer credibility is examined through three dimensions: trust, expertise, and attractiveness, considering the mediating role of attitude toward the brand in the relationship between these three dimensions and booking intentions. Initial findings through in-depth interviews with three participants who had seen Mbok Nginep's content showed appreciation for the honesty and information conveyed, although there were still doubts regarding the influencer's direct experience, content presentation, and completeness of information.
A quantitative approach was used in this research through an explanatory study, with data collection through online questionnaire distribution. A total of 212 respondents who met the criteria were successfully collected. Data analysis was performed using the Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) method using the SmartPLS 4 application.
The results showed that the influencer's trust and expertise had a positive effect on booking intentions and attitude toward the brand. The influencer's attractiveness did not have a positive effect on booking intentions, but had a positive effect on attitude toward the brand. Attitude toward the brand had a positive effect on booking intentions, and mediated the relationship between the influencer's trust and expertise with booking intentions. However, attitude toward the brand did not mediate the relationship between the influencer's attractiveness and booking intentions.
