Abstract

De-escalation occurred in the number of domestic and foreign tourist arrivals during this new normal. The pandemic that gave rise to social restriction policies had a negative impact on the country’s tourism sector, including Labuan Bajo which is a super-priority tourist destination. A significant decrease of 82% occurred in the number of Labuan Bajo tourists, so in the face of this de-escalation, various parties are trying to revive Labuan Bajo tourism, from the government to influencers, especially travel influencers. Travel influencers are undeniably the main actors who can promote Labuan Bajo tourism during this pandemic, both travel influencers with millions of followers and micro travel influencers. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the agility of micro travel influencers in carrying out promotional communications for Labuan Bajo tourism. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method that is specifically carried out on the Instagram account of micro travel influencer Indra Septian Azhari, @indraseptianazhari. This study found that as a micro travel influencer, this account has the potential to influence its followers because the majority of followers of this account are 18-24 years old. Then this study also found that celebrity endorsers have a very important role in boosting the increase in three digital indicators: likes, comments, and engagement rates. However, it is possible that an Instagram account can get a lot of followers without using celebrity attributes in its material.
