This study aims to examine the effect of digital promotion and destination image on tourists’ visiting interest at Villa Monte Sereno, Pamah Simelir, Telagah Village, Sei Bingai District, Langkat Regency. The study used a quantitative associative approach. The population consisted of 800 tourists in 2026, while the sample comprised 89 respondents selected through incidental sampling using a 10% Slovin error level. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The OLS results show that digital promotion has a positive regression coefficient of 0.248, t = 2.102, p = 0.038, while destination image has a positive coefficient of 0.336, t = 3.367, p = 0.001. Simultaneously, the model is significant with F = 21.759 and p < 0.001, with R² = 0.336. Thus, the two predictors explain 33.6% of variation in visiting interest. However, residual normality and homoscedasticity assumptions were not fully satisfied; robust HC3 standard errors produced p = 0.117 for digital promotion and p = 0.276 for destination image. Therefore, inferential conclusions should be interpreted cautiously. Keywords: digital promotion; destination image; visiting interest; Villa Monte Sereno; tourists. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh promosi digital dan citra destinasi terhadap minat kunjungan wisatawan di Villa Monte Sereno, Dusun Pamah Simelir, Desa Telagah, Kecamatan Sei Bingai, Kabupaten Langkat. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode asosiatif. Populasi penelitian sebanyak 800 wisatawan pada tahun 2026 dan sampel sebanyak 89 responden yang ditentukan menggunakan rumus Slovin dengan tingkat kesalahan 10% serta teknik incidental sampling. Data diperoleh melalui kuesioner skala Likert, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Analisis meliputi uji validitas, reliabilitas, asumsi klasik, regresi linier berganda, uji t, uji F, dan koefisien determinasi. Hasil regresi OLS menunjukkan promosi digital memiliki koefisien positif 0,248 dengan t hitung 2,102 dan signifikansi 0,038, sedangkan citra destinasi memiliki koefisien positif 0,336 dengan t hitung 3,367 dan signifikansi 0,001. Secara simultan, model signifikan dengan F hitung 21,759 dan signifikansi <0,001 serta R Square 0,336. Artinya, kedua variabel menjelaskan 33,6% variasi minat kunjungan. Namun, residual tidak memenuhi normalitas dan terdapat indikasi heteroskedastisitas. Pemeriksaan robust HC3 menghasilkan signifikansi 0,117 untuk promosi digital dan 0,276 untuk citra destinasi. Karena itu, kesimpulan inferensial perlu ditafsirkan secara hati-hati. Kata kunci: promosi digital; citra destinasi; minat kunjungan; Villa Monte Sereno; wisatawan.
