Abstract

The research at the Jakarta History Museum aims to find out the motivation of tourists consisting of physical motivation, cultural motivation, interpersonal motivation and prestige motivation influencing the decision to visit the Jakarta History Museum. This research includes quantitative research using a descriptive  approach.  The  sample  in  this  study  amounted  to  100  respondents  using  the  Probability Sampling technique with Simple Random sampling, which is done randomly regardless of the strata in that population. Data analysis techniques use multiple linear regression analysis, classical assumption test,  and  hypothesis  testing.  Testing  the  hypothesis  with  the  t  test  shows  that  tourist  motivation consisting  of  physical  motivation,  cultural  motivation,  prestige  /  status  motivation  has  a  significant influence on visiting decisions. While the motivation of tourists from interpersonal motivation does not have a significant influence on visiting decisions. From the f test shows the results of tourist motivation variables consisting of physical motivation, cultural motivation, prestige or status motivation together have a significant influence on visiting decisions. From the results of the study it can be concluded that there is a simultaneous influence on physical motivation, cultural motivation, and status motivation on visiting decisions, whose meaning in that dimension is quite good and needs to be maintained. Whereas in the dimension of interpersonal motivation there is no simultaneous influence on visiting decisions, and it needs to be increased in that dimension.Keywords: physical  motivation,  cultural  motivation,  interpersonal  motivation,  prestige  motivation, visiting decisionsINTRODUCTIONThe capital city of Jakarta is the only city in  Indonesiathat has  provincial  level  status  withan area of approximately 661.52 km² (sea: 6,977.5 km²).  The  cityhas  two  airports  (Soekarno-Hatta Airportand  Halim  Perdanakusuma  Airport)  and three  sea  ports  atTanjung  Priok,  SundaKelapa, and  Ancol.  Jakarta was  once  known  as  Sunda Kelapa (before 1527), Jayakarta (1527-1619), and Batavia (1619-1942), yet itis also worthy of being called the city of museums.
