CHAPTER 1
I. INTRODUCTION
Travel vlogs has become such a powerful vehicle that destinations can tell their
stories and build good relationships with potential visitors. Digital word-of-mouth
(Crotts,1999). Sharda and Ponnada (2008) defined vlogs as virtual diaries that are
stored on the web and available to anyone. Vlogs combine a set of text, videos, images
and audios. They are like virtual stories, full of experiences that provide the public a
taste of what experiences could be like when visiting the destination (Leu et al.2005).
The interpretation of these experiences are becoming more and more popular with the
vlogs posts with family, friends, which allows interaction and build an engagement with
potential visitors that can turn into new visitors to the destination. Research also shows
that people tend to trust in online word of mouth more than traditional media (Johnson
and self-expression (Papacharissi, 2002). Travel vlogs had shown to have an important
role in the online space, which can help to market the destinations among people. As
reported by Statista (2011) there are around 173 million vlogs in the Internet where
posts are coming up daily and with years it increases more (Baker & Green, 2005). For
marketers this would mean that travel vlogs are popular and have important
implications for destinations marketers and for the functions inside the DMO
Travel vlogs are also useful to monitor visitor’s attitudes towards a specific
destination (Lange-Faria & Elliot, 2012). The DMO can collect the information
regarding different characteristics and attitudes of the traveller towards the destination,
which later can help to adapt the marketing strategy according to the customer’s
profiles. All the information gathered in vlogs and on the Internet is valuable for the
Travel vlogs as a source for marketing might also have its negative side and one
of this is that there is free access to misinformation. This can mislead communications
especially when the users are anonymous online. It also can disconnect other smaller
customer groups from the information provided on vlogs. In some cases not much
interactions or comments can be seen on a vlog (Weinberg and Pehlivan, 2011). The
anonymity, the free access of posting online and the lack of interactions in the vlogs
might create potential problems for both customers and marketers (Dellarocas, 2003).
The rise of social media has led to many changes in our daily life. The rise has also
because it works as a marketing tool, vlogging provides an easy way to keep the
consumer updated and to let them know about new deals and provide tips.
Information and communication technology had change rapidly over the past years and
in today’s generation, it plays the biggest role in our society. We used social media as a

infants were neither inherently good or inherently evil. A child's nature and personality

Perhaps the man most influential to educationalist theory was John Locke. As
Margaret J. M. Ezell puts it, his 1693 book Some Thoughts concerning
Education presents the basic argument that "a child's mind must be educated before he
is instructed, that the true purpose of education is the cultivation of the intellect rather
than an accumulation of facts." According to Locke, the ideal education would instill a
strong moral sense. In particular, a child should be taught virtue, wisdom, breeding, and
learning.
This was possible because, among other reasons, a child's mind was a "tabula

of the use of imaginative literature and the fine arts, for instance, was not particularly

Internet changed the game when it comes to traveling, booking, promoting and to
talk about one’s thoughts, feelings or experiences to the world. Internet gives favor to
social media users to download, share photos, videos, vlogs and reviews.
Online vlogging is one of the most favorable way for those people who wants to
share their stories and experiences. They discussed all their itineraries and showcase the
fascinating views of the specific place. Tourist are also attracted to one particular area

they were using HTML examples from various online links for vlogging. In 1997, the
term “weblog” the sharing of travel experiences was created as a conversational thread.
The modern vlog evolved in 2001 as Online Diary, where users called themselves as
diarist, journalist and escribitionist. Another early vlog was the “Wearable Wireless
Webcam” a combining text, video and pictures that will transmit to live wearable
computer. Nowadays it seems that vloggers content is becoming the most credible
Schultz (2017) According to IBM Marketing Cloud Study, 90% of the data in the

connectivity is the “greatest gift” that social media offers to all the future tourist:
“Social media has transformed the world once again from a small village into one room
big enough to fit everyone (Ahmad, 2018).” Furthermore, according to Thevenot (2007)
“The importance of the vlogging community (and thus larger society) is increasing
rapidly. Indeed, with the fast changing technology, blogging is no longer accessible
only from desktop PCs, but also through laptops and mobile telephones.”
Kaplan and Haenlein (2009) online vlogging is a good promotion tool for the
tourism industry since they encouraged people to engage in different kinds of platform
and changed the way people think in sharing their travel experiences. Online vlogging
can be done by posting comments and receiving feedbacks. Some of the vloggers post
their tour experiences via personal websites or personal diaries with user followers and
comes with different variations of sharing up their leisure activities (Kaplan and
Haenlein, 2009).

nearest attractions within the area and monetary expenses (Kaplan and Haenlein, 2009).
Online vlogging are open diaries of people who wants to showcase their
experiences to the world wide web. They are willing to share their thoughts via travel
documentaries. According to Kuo-Chang Ting; Ping-Ho Ting & Hsiao (2014), travel
vlogs had played an important role for tourist when it comes to their trip planning. They
also mentioned, “The four positive factors including perceived usefulness, reputation,
altruism, and trust influenced the attitudes towards sharing (Kauo-Chang et. al., 2014).”
The benefits of travel vlogging has four categories: professional, financial, personal and

measurements and analyses that are easily replicable by other researcher (Thomas,
2003).
Primary Data
Generally, primary data is the information that is collected by the researcher for
the specific purpose or to resolve the problem at hand. In general, the primary data is
collected because the existing data cannot be used to resolve the problem at hand. The
primary data can be collected through various types of survey methods, such as Delphi
research, project methods, the focus group, action research, questionnaire, individual
in-depth interview and protocol. In this study, the primary data is collected through the

and weighted median. Frequency and Percentage Distribution is used to find out the
frequency and percentage of all responses from the questionnaire. Weighted median
follows:
% = (F/N) x 100
Weighted Median: The median is the point at which exactly half of the data are
above and half below. These halves meet at the median position. If the number of
observations is odd, the median fits perfectly and the depth of the median position
will be a whole number. If the number of observations is even, the depth of the
median position will include a decimal. You need to find the midpoint between the
