Abstract

Lasiana Beach is one of the coastal tourism destinations that plays an important role in stimulating local economic activities in Kupang City. This study aims to analyze the tourism attractiveness of Lasiana Beach and its impact on the local economy, particularly on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), visitors, and photography service providers. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study design. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with MSME actors, visitors, and photographers, while secondary data were obtained from relevant literature and tourism-related documents. Data were analyzed thematically by examining tourism attraction factors, visitor trends, business income changes, and local economic implications. The findings indicate that Lasiana Beach possesses several key tourism attractions, including accessibility, natural scenery, supporting facilities, and opportunities for creative economic activities. However, a decline in visitor numbers has significantly affected the income of local economic actors. The daily turnover of MSMEs decreased from approximately IDR 300,000 to IDR 50,000, while photographers’ income declined from around IDR 400,000 to IDR 24,000 per day. These findings suggest that physical tourism attractions alone are insufficient to generate sustainable economic benefits without effective promotion, proper facility management, and service innovation. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening digital marketing strategies, improving the management of MSMEs, developing tourism attractions, and enhancing collaboration among government agencies, business actors, and local communities to support sustainable tourism development and local economic growth.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how local wisdom of the Timorese ethnic group serves as a basis for entrepreneurial behavior among MSME actors in Kupang City. The phenomenon examined is the persistence of collective cultural values amid the pressures of urban market modernization faced by Timorese MSME actors. This research employed a qualitative phenomenological approach to capture the meaning and lived experience of informants regarding the internalization of cultural values into their entrepreneurial practices. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with six MSME actors of Timorese ethnicity operating in six sub-districts of Kupang City, engaged in diverse business sectors including grocery retail, ikat weaving, livestock farming, traditional culinary, handicrafts, and agricultural produce trading. The findings reveal four dominant themes: local wisdom as social capital, entrepreneurial behavior framed within collective values, negotiation between customary obligations and business rationality, and the non-material meaning of business success. Notably, all informants consistently practiced a coping strategy of providing limited family assistance without recording it as formal business debt when customary obligations conflicted with capital sustainability. This study contributes theoretically by refining the relationship between local wisdom and entrepreneurial behavior as dialectical and institutionalized, rather than simply unidirectional and harmonious. Practically, the findings inform MSME mentorship programs in designing financial literacy modules that accommodate the separation between business funds and social solidarity funds. Future research is recommended to expand the number of informants and research locations to strengthen data triangulation.
