The results showed that social media and e-WOM have a positive and significant effect on tourist satisfaction, tourist satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on repeat stay decisions, social media has a significant effect on repeat stay decisions, and e-WOM has a positive and significant effect on repeat stay decisions for tourists staying in homestays.
