Printed and electronic books, journals, and the internet as secondary data that support this research. A total of 112 samples were obtained, but only 85 samples that met the requirements for processing. Data processing with Smart PLS software or partial least squares (PLS) structural equation model (SEM), which aims to test the hypothesis of the influence between the variables of information quality, information credibility and e-WOM on information acceptance and travel intentions. The results of the research analysis show that the quality of information received by potential visitors has a very significant effect on how visitors adopt information and affects the intention to visit tourists in a tourist area, while the credibility of information does not affect how visitors adopt information as well as E-WOM Positive does not. influence the intention to visit tourists.
