Abstract

Cultural tourism serves as a dynamic platform for identity  negotiation, heritage preservation, and intercultural dialogue, particularly within community-based destinations. Rather than merely observing static cultural artifacts, visitors are increasingly drawn to immersive experiences that allow them to engage with living traditions and co-create meaning alongside local hosts. This study focuses on Kampung Wayang, a cultural enclave situated in Wukirsari, Yogyakarta, where the traditional art of wayang kulit is not only preserved but practiced as an everyday expression of cultural identity. Here, tourists are not passive consumers but active participants in a dialogical process of cultural transmission. The findings highlight that meaning-making in tourism is contingent upon the intensity and authenticity of interaction with cultural agents such as dalangs (puppet masters), artisans, and community storytellers. For instance, those who participated in puppet-making workshops or engaged in discussions about wayang philosophy reported deeper emotional resonance and cognitive insight. This supports theoretical models that posit experience as a co-constructed, affective, and reflective process. Ultimately, the study confirms that immersive participation in cultural production fosters not only aesthetic appreciation but also a profound understanding of embedded social values such as justice, loyalty, and spiritual balance. These findings suggest that cultural villages like Kampung Wayang serve as critical arenas for sustainable tourism, where the visitor experience transcends commodification and becomes a catalyst for mutual understanding and heritage continuity. As such, the village operates as both a site of memory and a space of transformation a place where local culture is not only performed, but also renegotiated through the eyes of its guests

Abstract

Marine tourism holds immense potential for driving economic development, environmental stewardship, and cultural exchange. However, the rapid growth of coastal destinations often generates imbalances in benefit distribution, environmental degradation, and limited community involvement. This study examines the role of volunteer tourism (voluntourism) in empowering coastal communities in Tulamben, Bali, a world-renowned diving destination. Using a qualitative case study with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document review involving 15 stakeholders representing community groups, NGOs, government officials, tourism operators, and volunteers. The findings reveal that voluntourism strengthens community participation through grassroots initiatives, capacity building, and conservation programs. Socio-economic outcomes include income diversification and entrepreneurship development, while environmental benefits are evident in coral reef restoration and enhanced community stewardship. Challenges persist, including unequal benefit distribution, limited governance, and reliance on external actors. This paper argues that voluntourism, when integrated into community-based tourism (CBT), serves as a strategic pathway for inclusive and sustainable marine ecotourism. Keywords: volunteer tourism, community-based tourism, marine ecotourism, community empowerment, Bali

The research uses a quantitative method with a descriptive and causal design. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 200 tourists visiting TMII who were directly involved in guided tours.

The results show that interpersonal communication of tour guides has a positive and significant effect on tourists' experiences, and tourist satisfaction serves as a moderating variable that strengthens this relationship.

Recommendations for TMII management include placing more emphasis on interpersonal communication training for tour guides and optimizing the system for measuring tourist satisfaction.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the psychological experiences of Generation Z entrepreneurs in Jakarta who seize opportunities in tourism-related businesses such as open trips, beauty services, laundry, culinary ventures, and souvenir shops. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, this research adopts an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach to understand how young entrepreneurs interpret their entrepreneurial journeys in a rapidly changing digital era. Five Gen-Z entrepreneurs participated in semi-structured interviews, and the data were analyzed through a hermeneutic and idiographic process to capture the depth of lived experiences. The analysis revealed three superordinate themes: (1) self-confidence, characterized by technological mastery and optimism in facing business challenges; (2) independence, reflected in their preference for freedom of expression and anti-hierarchical work culture; and (3) pragmatism, denoting a lifestyle-oriented pursuit of financial freedom and comfort. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of Gen-Z entrepreneurial identity and offer practical implications for developing entrepreneurship education and character-building programs in both formal and informal educational settings.
