Behavioral intent in the participation of “sport event” and “sport tourism” has been studied extensively in the field of sport tourism. However, integrated marketing communication of sport event on the influence of revisit intention has rarely been studied. The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between integrated marketing communication in sport event and tourists’ revisit intention. Therefore, this paper is based on two case studies: one sport event sampled 225 participants and another sport event sampled 89 participants. The results finding showed a positive correlation between integrated marketing communication and tourists’ revisit intention. Moreover, revisit intention by tourists who had revisited 6 times or more is significantly higher than those of the second visit. The study concluded that if communication of integrated marketing is done efficiently, not only can participants continuously challenge themselves but also increase the number of participants; thereby driving participants’ revisit intention. The level of revisit intention by travelers may also be a key indicator of whether the sport event can be sustained. Finally, this study may assist the practice of sport event. Effective integration of marketing communication promotes revisit intention, thereby creating better economic effect and image for the organizer. |
