Indonesia is a country that has various kinds of natural beauty and interesting cultural heritage. The Indonesian government has designated 10 New Bali's, then refined into 5 National Tourism Strategic Areas to create new mainstay destinations, namely Toba, Likupang, Mandalika, Borobudur, and Labuan Bajo. Providing new tourist attractions, followed by amenity infrastructure and accessibility, will drive new demand. In this context, this study will examine the influence of E-WoM, cultural events, destination image, nationalism, and government support variables on intention to visit. This quantitative research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 200 respondents. The results of the study explain that W-WoM has a significant positive relationship to destination image, cultural events have a significant positive effect on destination image, destination image has a significant positive relationship to visit intentions, nationalism manages to moderate the relationship between destination image and intention to visit, as well as government support variables also managed to moderate the relationship between destination image and intention to visit. By understanding the influence of these variables, this research can provide valuable insights for the government, tourism industry players, and related stakeholders to increase tourist interest and visits to these destinations. This research is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the factors influencing tourist intentions to visit certain destinations. Thus, the results of this research can become the basis for developing more effective marketing and promotion strategies, sustainable destination management, and better government support for the growth of the tourism sector in Indonesia. In this way, there will be an even distribution of tourist visits, not only concentrated in Bali.
