Abstract

Tourism is a crucial sector in Vietnam, benefiting significantly from the surge in short video content and the rapid growth of TikTok, a popular new social media platform with a large daily user base. This study explores how digital video marketing factors on TikTok, such as perceived enjoyment, credibility, interactivity, and subtitling, affect users' awareness of destinations and their intention to visit. The findings indicate that perceived enjoyment, interactivity, and subtitling positively influence destination awareness, which in turn impacts the visit intention of TikTok users.
