This study aims to analyze the influence of the use of Instagram social media, business location, and destination image on the interest in visiting Karo Strawberry Garden again. Along with the development of experiential tourism, the use of social media is one of the important factors in attracting visitors, especially for natural tourist destinations such as strawberry farms. This study uses quantitative methods with multiple linear regression approaches to measure how much influence each independent variable has on return visit interest.

Thus, the management of Karo Strawberry Farm is advised to focus more on improving the destination image through the quality of facilities, services, and overall experience, as well as supporting social media promotion and location accessibility as supporting factors.
