- Abstract
This research was conducted in the Kalibiru Tourism Area, Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta Special Region to describe other impacts or side effects of using user-generated content as a tourism promotion media in Kalibiru Yogyakar-ta. The conceptual approach used is the concept of a spectacle society from Jean Baudrillard. This qualitative research method is a case study by con-ducting in-depth interviews with informants according to the judging crite-ria, namely the manager of the Kalibiru tourist area. Research results show that various innovations in the use of UGC can attract tourists to come to Kalibiru. However, the digitization of this destination, or what is more of-ten called selfie spots has not been able to bring visitors sustainably. It is due to visitors’ lack of experience if only photo or selfie spots offer what is offered. So the use of UGC that is not wise can cause the talkative presence of net citizens, which leads to the instability of visitors in tourist areas.
