Creating an information system based on travel selfie appeal and intention to visit tourist destinations involves integrating utilitarian and hedonic aspects to enhance user experience. Combining utilitarian and hedonic features, the information system aims to enhance the overall travel experience, from trip planning to enjoying the destination, while leveraging the appeal of travel selfies to create a more engaging and personalised platform. This study investigates the impact of utilitarian and hedonic advantages on the attractiveness of travel selfies and the intention to travel. There are 420 respondents from generation Z. The analysis employed is structural equation modeling, with Amos version 26 utilized to process the data. The findings of this study demonstrate that the utilitarian and hedonic effects of trip selfies can enhance their appeal.
