Abstract

Introduction: In the era of modern tourism, proper management is key to maintaining a balance between economic growth, environmental preservation, and the well-being of local communities. Gangga Buyan Pancasari Tourism Park possesses natural potential as an ecotourism-based attraction, yet it faces various challenges in terms of management and environmental sustainability. Methods: This study aims to identify the current tourism management practices and analyze sustainable and effective tourism management strategies based on management capacity. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, including recordings and notes. Qualitative data were analyzed using NVivo software, and the management strategies were formulated through a SWOT analysis.

Abstract

Introduction: The development of tourism villages has become a key strategy to improve community welfare and regional competitiveness, particularly in the post-Covid-19 era, which emphasizes quality and sustainable tourism. Lodtunduh Village in Gianyar Regency was designated a tourism village in 2019 due to its unique natural, cultural, and man-made attractions, as well as its strategic location as a buffer zone for the Ubud tourism area. However, its development still faces several challenges, including low human resource capacity, limited access to capital, weak networking, inadequate institutional management, and suboptimal promotion. Methods: This study employs a qualitative approach with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews with stakeholders, and literature review. The data were analyzed using NVivo software to identify key themes related to the role of government in tourism village development. Results: The findings show that the government plays a strategic role in four main aspects: (1) community capacity building, (2) formulation of regulations and designation of tourism village status, (3) promotion of tourism potentials, and (4) provision of financial support through village fund allocations. Conclusion: The active involvement of both local and village governments is proven to be a determining factor in fostering a participatory and sustainable development of Lodtunduh Tourism Village. Cross-sectoral synergy and the strengthening of local institutions are essential prerequisites to realize a tourism village that delivers long-term economic, social, and cultural benefits for the local community.

Abstract

This study examines the structural paradox between high tourist expenditure concentration and infrastructural accessibility constraints in the Gajah Mada Heritage Area, Denpasar. Drawing on secondary data from the 2025 Denpasar Tourist Expenditure Survey, the study analyses micro spending patterns, attraction preferences, and satisfaction with traffic conditions using descriptive and gap analysis approaches. Results reveal that retail spending accounts for 20 percent of average daily domestic tourist expenditure, with visitation to shopping zones exceeding 80 percent, confirming the area’s function as a cultural shopping district. However, 49 percent of domestic visitors report dissatisfaction with traffic congestion, indicating a critical accessibility deficit. Tourist interest in living heritage attractions significantly exceeds that of static historical sites, suggesting a shift toward performative authenticity. The findings demonstrate that spatial constraints generate implicit economic costs by limiting dwell time and consumption opportunities. Revitalization strategies must therefore prioritize walkability oriented planning to sustain economic vitality in urban heritage corridors.

Introduction: Pedawa Tourism Village in Buleleng Regency is a Bali Aga village that preserves a rich cultural heritage. One of its most significant cultural assets is the Bandung Rangki Traditional House, which embodies architectural, spiritual, social, and philosophical values of the Bali Aga community and has the potential to be developed as a cultural heritage tourism attraction. Methods: This study employed a qualitative research approach. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with traditional house owners, and literature review. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.

Storytelling analysis using the 5W+1H approach highlights narratives related to historical origins, social structure, cultural traditions, and moral, religious, educational, and ethical values. These narratives enhance visitors’ understanding of the house as a living cultural heritage. Conclusion: The study concludes that storytelling plays a crucial role in strengthening the cultural meaning of the Bandung Rangki Traditional House and enhancing its attractiveness as a sustainable cultural heritage tourism asset. Integrating storytelling into heritage interpretation supports the development of Pedawa Tourism Village as a culturally based and sustainable tourism destination.
