This study focuses on Bandung and Lombok city, a reference destination proven to contribute to the economy. This new tourism site can contribute 4% to 5% to the Gross Domestic Product. The sample of this study is 200 tourists who have ever visited Lombok and Bandung. The analisys uses SEM AMOS to see which preferences the most role that model. The results reveal that visitors prioritize access to destinations more than other aspects. The access deals with the easiness of getting to the tourist site and proper road access, and those places can be accessed at any time.
