1. INTRODUCTION
The development of economic activity always gives influence to marketing aspect. Corporate
management is required to have the right marketing concept to always be able to overcome
the competition in the business world. In general, every company adheres to a consumer-
oriented marketing system, which is a marketing system that always strives to meet the needs
and desires of consumers. In its development the tourism sector plays an important role in
supporting the growth of the national economy because with its existence can contribute
income to the country's foreign exchange, expand employment, and introduce national culture
so it should be developed. If looking at the shape and process or the resulting product, the
tourism industry belongs to the service industry. Liangi et al (2010) states that tourism is like
an industry that produces products, tourism products in the form of services, where tourism is
a set of attributes that include tourist attraction, facility and service objectives, accessibility
and services that customers may receive as one that can satisfy the needs and desires in
gaining experience. Travel Bureau is an important element in customer service process. Most
customers use the services of Travel Bureau (Yoeti, 2002). In this case, the Travel Bureau can
provide a complete service to a person or group of people who want to travel both
domestically and abroad. Quality of tourism services is very important influence to be able to
measure the level of customer satisfaction proven through a research (Marketing Research).
Consumer satisfaction will come back by itself when the services that the company sells in
accordance with the wishes of consumers. The perceived quality of service from tourism is
said to affect consumer satisfaction and they always provide the best good for the consumer
which ultimately affects the consumer's intention to return (Rukuiziene, 2009: 136).
Consumer satisfaction concerns expected component and expected performance. The
customer's expectation is a customer's estimate or belief about what he or she receives,
whereas perceived performance or results are consumers' perceptions of what they receive
(Thijs and Staes (2008: 30).
Consumer satisfaction as a condition where consumer needs, wants, and expectations can
be met through consumed products (Gasperz, 2002: 34). Meanwhile, according to Engel in
Tjiptono (2005: 24), consumer satisfaction is a after-sale evaluation where alternatively
selected at least give the same results or exceed customer expectations. Research on the
Quality of Service in the field of Tourism is very limited and until now there has been no
serious effort to critically examine the influence of the quality of tourism services to
consumers (Mukhles Al-Ababneh, 2013). In the tourism industry, Osman and Sentosa (2013)
study the effect of service quality on customer satisfaction in Malaysian tourist villages; They
found that service quality had a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. Abu
Ali and Howaidee (2012) conducted research in the Jordanian tourism industry affirming that
tourist attraction, facility & service goals, accessibility have positive and significant impact on
consumer satisfaction in Jeras tourism as one of the main tourist destinations in Jordan. The
same result is shown by Mohamed Rahmathullah (2015) research that conducted research in
Tamilnadu India which showed that tourist attraction, facilities & service, accessibility have
positive and significant influence to the satisfaction of foreign tourists. Unlike Irma
Dwiyanti's research (2013) which shows that facilities & services, accessibility has no
significant effect on the satisfaction of tourists, it means facilities & services factor,
accessibility is not one of the factors that influence tourist satisfaction. Based on observations
made in Bandung about the quality of service is still often there are complaints received by
employees during the service to consumers, among others: the delay in providing services, the
lack of employees resulting in lack of optimal service and not to mention the latest
phenomenon that is a problem for Travel Bureau is with the advent of online purchasing
system such as: Traveloka, Agoda, Tiket.com, Pegi-pegi and other online system to make the

quality of service Travel Bureau neglected due to the sophistication of existing technology
today
4. THEORITICAL BACKGROUND
4.1. Tourism Products
The tourism product as one of the bidding objects in tourism marketing has the main elements
consisting of 3 parts (Yoeti, 2002: 211):
1. Attractions of tourist destinations, including imagined by tourists
2. Facilities owned by tourist destination
3. Ease to reach the destination
Mason (2000: 46) makes the formulation of the components of tourism products are as
follows:
• Attractions, namely attractions of nature, culture and man-made such as festivals or art
performances.
• Accessibility, namely the ease of obtaining or reaching tourist destinations such as tourism
organizations (travel agents)
• Amenities is a facility to obtain pleasure. In this case it can be in the form of accommodation,
cleanliness, and hospitality
• Networking, which is a network of cooperation related to the products offered both locally,
nationally and internationally.

Based on these two concepts, it can be concluded that there are 3 elements that make up a
tourism product that is:
1. Attractions and destinations include tourist attractions that are presented with something to
do activities, something to see, and something to buy
2. Facilities of destination include accommodation, restaurant, and others
3. The ease of the destinations are classified into the existence of means of transportation, as
well as access to the tourist attraction.

Accessibility of destinations affects the cost of vacationing, the speed, and convenience with
which a traveler can reach a destination. The indicators of accessibility are:
a. Airport equipped with a comfortable lounge, with this will provide comfort when
waiting for a flight.
b. Roads are accesses that can be used to reach a destination.
c. The existence of a road guide that will facilitate tourists in reaching a destination with
ease
d. Availability of large parking area
e. Cleanliness of toilets

The number of samples from this study is determined as many as 81 samples, which is
sufficient to represent the population.
Non-probability sampling technique is a technique that does not provide opportunities or
equal opportunities for each element or member of the population to be selected to be
sampled. Accidental sampling ie the sample is determined by selecting anyone found at the
time of research or data collection. By way of giving questionnaires at the time the
researchers met with respondents who are considered suitable as a source of data during the
study took place (Riduwan, 2010).
Attraction(X1)
Accessibility(X3)
Based on the results of data processing obtained correlation coefficient between tourist
attraction, facilities & services, accessibility is measured by variable satisfaction of tourists.
1. The magnitude of the correlation between the variables of tourist attraction with tourists is
0.370 and significant at the level of 0.001. Because it is smaller than the general criteria used
is 0.05 (0.001 <0.05), it can be concluded that the variable of tourist attraction has a positive
and significant correlation with the satisfaction of tourists.
2. The correlation between facility & service variables and consumer satisfaction is 0.385 and
significant at 0.000 level. Because it is smaller than the general criteria used is 0.05 (0.000
<0.05), it can be concluded that the variable of tourist facility and service has a positive and
significant correlation with the satisfaction of tourists.
3. The major correlation between accessibility variables and consumer satisfaction is 0.251
and significant at the 0.024 level. Because it is smaller than the general criteria used is 0.05
(0.024 <0.05), it can be concluded that the variable of accessibility has a positive and
significant correlation with the satisfaction of tourists.

5.6.1. F-Test
5.6.2. t-Test
With the acceptance of the F-test, then the test will be carried out partially. The result of t-test
can be seen from the table below:
Table 2 t-Test
Unstandardized Coeffocoents
Hypothesis 1: (Attraction)
H0: b1 = 0, There is no influence between the attraction to the satisfaction of tourists.
Ha: b1> 0, There is a positive influence between the attraction to tourist satisfaction.
From result of research of partial test show regression coefficient for variable of attraction is
equal to 2,748 and significant at level 0,007, because 0,007 <0,05 then H0 refused and Ha
accepted. Thus, the hypothesis of the variable of attraction has a positive and significant effect
and can be confirmed.

Hypothesis 3: (Accessibility)
H0: b3 = 0, There is no influence between accessibility to the satisfaction of tourists.
H0: b3> 0, There is a positive influence between accessibility to the satisfaction of tourists.
From result of research of partial test show regression coefficient for accessibility variable is
equal to 1,829 and significant at level 0,071, because 0,071> 0,05 then H0 is not rejected
thereby that hypothesis of accessibility have positive and insignificant effect to customer
satisfaction and cannot be confirmed.

from the results of the obtained output a significance value of 0.000 indicates that the F-sig is
smaller than the level of significance α = 0.05. This result with research conducted by
Mukhles et al., (2013) which concludes that the dimensions of tourist attraction, facilities &
services, accessibility significantly influence the satisfaction of tourists.
The result of statistic research partially shows that the hypothesis proposed that the
attraction has a positive and significant effect on the satisfaction of tourists and can be
confirmed. So it can be concluded that the partial tourist attraction significantly affect the
satisfaction of tourists.
This result with research conducted by Agus Rahayu (2010), which concludes that the
tourist attraction has a significant effect on the satisfaction of tourists. This shows that the
initial decision of tourists to visit / travel on a regional basis of considering the attraction and
uniqueness of a tourist attraction of the area.
From the results of partial statistical research for facility & service variables showed that
the hypothesis posed a positive and significant impact on the satisfaction of tourists and can
be confirmed. So it can be concluded that the partial facilities & services have a significant
effect on satisfaction. This result with research conducted by Stevian (2014) who concluded
that facilities & services have a significant effect on the satisfaction of tourists. Facilities &
services is a supporting factor of the satisfaction of tourists because if the supporting facilities
such as hotels, transport, restaurants visited not qualified it will result in decreased volume of
consumers / tourists in a region.
While the results of statistical research partially for the variable accessibility showed that
the results of the proposed hypothesis have a positive and significant impact on the
satisfaction of tourists and can not be confirmed. So it can be concluded that accessibility has
positive and insignificant effect on customer satisfaction. This result is in line with research
conducted by Irma Dwiyanti (2013) which concludes that accessibility has positive and
insignificant effect on customer satisfaction. This means that accessibility factor is not one of
the factors that affect consumer satisfaction significantly. Accessibility is a means for tourists
/ consumers to be able to reach a tourism destination. If a destination is not matched by good
accessibility it will affect the high level of tourist / consumer to visit, it may be that this
accessibility will not have a significant effect on satisfaction, due to lack of good access to
travel.
In this research that is influence of service quality by using tourist attraction, facility &
service, accessibility as independent variable, from result of coefficient of determination (R
square) equal to 0,247 which mean that 24,7% tourist satisfaction can be influenced by
independent variable. The remaining percentage of 75.3% indicates that there is still influence
of factors or variables that are not included in this study. This is because there are still many
other factors that can affect consumer satisfaction,one of them is 5 dimension SERVQUAL
consisting of Tangible or physical evidence is the ability of a company in the physical
capabilities of the company such as buildings and equipment, Reliability of the company's
ability to provide services with the promised accurately and reliably, Responsiveness is a
willingness to assist consumers in the delivery of clear information, Assurance, certainty of
knowledge, and the ability of employees to convince consumers, Empathy is giving a sincere
and individual attention or Personal to understand consumer desires according to Parasuraman
(2001: 148-149). According to the results of research Syamsi (2010) showed that tangible,
reliability, responsiveness showed that tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance,
emphaty affect consumer satisfaction.
Another thing that may affect consumer satisfaction is the influence of people, physical
evidence, product, promotion, price. People according to Ratih (2005: 62) all actors who play
a role in the presentation of services / products that can affect the purchase and satisfaction,

Indonesia Travel Destinations to Bali)
Physical evidence according Nirwana (2004: 47) is a supporting facility that is part of
marketing services that have important role examples colored uniforms, sounds and designs to
create something else to offer, Product by Kotler & Armstrong (2012, p.233) is everything a
manufacturer can offer to be noticed, requested, sought, purchased and used as a fulfillment of
needs or the market demand is concerned, promotion is a business enterprise to influence
potential buyers / consumers through the use of all elements or marketing mix, Price
according to Chandra (2002) depends solely on company policy, but of course by considering
various things because the price is said to be expensive , cheap, or just ordinary for every
people. According to research results Siti Fatonah (2009) which shows that the variable
product, promotion, price, people, physical evidence have a positive and significant impact on
the satisfaction of tourists.
Another thing that may also affect the satisfaction of tourists is the image of the company,
corporate image is considered important for the company because it is the overall impression
that society formed about the company. Imagery can relate to the business name, architecture,
variations of the product, the traditions and the impression on the quality of communication
that is the interaction between the consumer and the company. According to research results
Qomariah (2012) and Ni putu Dharma (2013) which concluded that the influence of corporate
image significant to the satisfaction of tourists.
