E-Journal of Tourism Vol.1. No.2. (2014): 128-138 http://ojs.unud.ac.id/index.php/eot 130 e-ISSN: 2407-392X. p-ISSN: 2541-0857 Literature Review Kotler (2000) broadly defines that image as the number of convictions. A descriptionof an image that belongs to someone on an object. The object itself can be a person, organization, group or other people he knows. There are five types of images, the shadow image (mirror image), the image of the prevailing (current image), the image of the expected (wish image), the image of the company (corporate image), as well as the image of the compound ( multiple image). The development of advance technology today, especially information technology has facilitated the world community to gain the information of the image in one destination. Internet technology especially social networking media such as Facebook and Twitter has been used to develop their partnership and even the promotions. Bond et al. (2010) describes how the social networking media has a lot of the attention of traders and consumers in today's global era.

Concept Social networking Media Media is a necessity in the formation of an image of a tourist destination, there are many types of media, one of which is booming at the moment is the Internet media. Our internet media is able to recognize the web that serves a variety of the latest information we want. One of the webs that many loved today is a series of web 2.0 technologies that often we are familiar with the term "social networking media". Tourism Image As with any other service industry, tourism industry also has the properties of intangibility, inseparability, heterogeneity, and perishability. These natures cause the tourists to deal with the lack of attributes to evaluate whether or not a destination is good. However, because decisions must be made, the tourist uses the image of the tourist destination to conduct an evaluation tool (Wallin Andreassen and Lindestad, 1998). Of course, the existing image in the minds of tourists is not always in tune with the real conditions of the destination itself. Thus, the image of the destination has the potential to affect the least competitive destinations (LeBlanc and Nguyen, 1996). Research Model Bali is a tourist destination, which is favored by both domestic and international tourist. Bali is so famous for its tourism, because tourism in Bali is a commodity sectors which provide a very large supply of foreign exchange for Indonesia. This is evidenced by the presence of data from the BPS that states within the last five years tourist that arrived in Bali increased significantly which can certainly have a direct impact in increasing the rate of the economy of Indonesia in the future. To know Bali tourism image will require a medium that can represent a good image for the Bali tourism destinations, because, once a lot of people know the condition of tourism in Bali from mouth to mouth, or better known as word of mouth, but now with the advance technology there are many media that can be used to see how the condition of Bali tourism, such as TV, radio, magazines, pamphlets, and the Internet, but the media to be used in this research is the internet media. There are elements within the internet web 2.0 series technology which allows users to create personal homepages or more popularly known as social networking media. As it is known that today there are a lot of social networking media, social networking is a blend of lifestyle in modern society today that cannot be separated from our everyday lives. With the various social networking media, it can provide an option that allows accessing on how the condition of tourism in E-Journal of Tourism Vol.1. No.2.

While all comments from both social networks are successfully classified then it is analyzed based on the magnitude of the negative comments, positive, and the comments that go into such categories do not know. The results obtained in the positive, negative, and do not know (unidentified comments) comments on the social networks that have been selected can then be summed up and the first results indicate whether the results of the tourist‟s perception was positive or negative about the Bali tourism image in social networking. After the analysis of social media is conducted, it shows wheatear the analysis of both the social networking media can fairly represent the image of the present condition of tourism in Bali, so it is more likely to lead to positive or negative direction. The final result of this analysis is very important in determining Bali tourism image in the future.
