SOCIAL MEDIA LITERACY FOR MILLENNIALS IN PROMOTING TOURISM IN POST-EARTHQUAKE LOMBOK IN AUGUST 2018.

The decline in the number of visits has an impact on the potential of NTB Province's original income as well as the growth of the economic sector which is supported by tourism activities. This is caused by the amount of hoax information that appears in various media, especially social media. Various information on this hoax makes tourists fail to come to Lombok because they feel worried, anxious and afraid if aftershocks occur. The fact is that there was a small earthquake several times after August but it was not significant and did not cause damage like last August 2018.

Many do things they shouldn't do and lead to negative content. For this reason, social media literacy is needed, especially for millennials in promoting Lombok tourism after the 2018 earthquake in August, considering millennials are the most active and responsive in social media.
