Abstract: This study examines the impact of food authenticity and social media exposure on revisit intention, mediated by the roles of memorable culinary tourism experience and destination image. This research uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research type. The survey was conducted on 400 domestic tourists who had experienced local culinary tourism in Magelang Regency through the distribution of questionnaires. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the LISREL 8.8 software. The research results indicate that food authenticity and social media exposure have a positive and significant impact on revisit intention, mediated by the Memorable Culinary Tourism Experiences and Destination Image. These findings expand the Consumer Behavior Theory by integrating cultural and digital elements, strengthen the Stimulus–Organism–Response (SOR) Theory, and support the development of Brand Equity Theory in culinary tourism destinations.
