Abstract

The sustainability of conservation tourism depends equally on wildlife preservation and the quality of the visitor experience. However, the integration of visitor safety, animal welfare, and interactive learning remains underexplored in destination management. This study investigates visitors’ perceptions of facilities, safety, and educational value at the Buaya Asam Kumbang Sanctuary, Medan, and analyzes their impact on the overall tourism experience. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from September 2024 to January 2025 through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and documentation involving 30 informants. Data saturation and methodological triangulation were applied for analysis. Findings reveal that visitor perceptions align with the “something to see, do, and buy” framework but extend it significantly. Physical infrastructure and safety primarily shape initial impressions. Interactive activities, such as crocodile feeding, offer high educational value, yet this is strictly contingent upon visible staff supervision. Notably, visitors evaluate safety and animal welfare not as separate domains, but as a singular, integrated indicator of management quality. Furthermore, the lack of age-differentiated ticket pricing and limited food outlets were identified as critical unmet needs. Theoretically, this study expands the conventional attraction framework by embedding ethical and risk dimensions. Practically, it recommends implementing age-based ticketing, expanding culinary services, and formalizing transparent supervision protocols to enhance visitor satisfaction and destination sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the dominant patterns of sustainable business model innovation in Legal Entity State Universities (PTNBH) and State Islamic Universities (UIN) in Indonesia. Using a qualitative comparative case study approach, this research analyzed public data from 12 PTNBH and 10 UIN, comprising annual reports, financial reports, and strategic documents, using MAXQDA 2022 software for systematic thematic analysis, incorporating open and axial coding stages, and validated through data triangulation. The findings reveal a significant dichotomy. PTNBH primarily developed Intellectual and Physical Asset Corporatization patterns, manifested through technology spin-offs, applied consulting, and commercial property development. This pattern reflects market logic and corporate efficiency, aiming to generate scalable non-tax revenue. Conversely, UIN frequently implemented Sharia-Based Socio-Economic Ecosystem Empowerment patterns, focusing on the development of Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT), sharia cooperatives, community halal businesses, and religious consultancy services. This pattern is rooted in community logic and Islamic values, where economic activities serve as instruments for da’wah and community resilience. The study concludes that business model innovation patterns are determined by institutional fit with the logic, identity, and specific resources of each institution. Impliedly, no single universal business model is superior. The research recommends that policies supporting the financial independence of higher education institutions should respect these diverse pathways rather than applying a uniform approach.
