Digital Storytelling, Tourism Promotion, Social Media, Industry 4.0Abstract
Digital technology has transformed tourism promotion, especially through digital marketing and storytelling. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of social media and e-commerce, with storytelling helping build emotional connections and improve destination images. In Indonesia, the Ministry of Tourism uses platforms like TikTok and Instagram for this purpose. Research in West Papua Barat Daya shows that short videos, photos, and blogs effectively raise awareness and attract tourists. Despite challenges like limited infrastructure and skills, digital storytelling remains a powerful and sustainable tool for tourism promotion.
