Resumen

Introducción: Los maratones se han convertido en un elemento clave del turismo deportivo, atrayendo a participantes que también contribuyen a promocionar destinos. Para la generación Z indonesia, las experiencias en maratones y la participación en redes sociales pueden influir notablemente en la imagen del destino y en sus intenciones de viaje.

Objetivo: Este estudio analiza cómo la experiencia en maratones y el uso de redes sociales impactan la imagen del destino y las intenciones de viaje entre la generación Z indonesia, con la imagen del destino como mediador.

Metodología: Se encuestó a 317 jóvenes de la generación Z que participaron en maratones. Los datos se recopilaron mediante una escala Likert de 4 puntos y se utilizó PLS-SEM para evaluar mediciones y relaciones estructurales.

Resultados: La experiencia en maratones y la participación en redes sociales influyen significativamente en la imagen del destino y en la intención de viajar. La imagen del destino media estas relaciones y el modelo muestra buen poder explicativo.

Discusión: Las experiencias positivas en maratones y el uso activo de redes sociales aumentan el atractivo del destino para la generación Z, coincidiendo con estudios previos en turismo deportivo y marketing de eventos.

Conclusiones: Los eventos de maratón actúan como herramientas deportivas y promocionales que refuerzan la imagen del destino y fomentan los viajes entre la generación Z. Integrar experiencias del evento con estrategias en redes sociales puede apoyar el turismo deportivo sostenible en Indonesia.
