Abstract

Internet of Things as a concept that connects physical devices to the internet, has provided new possibilities in tourism destination management, enhanced tourist experiences, and environmental monitoring. Start-up Bobobox provides a healing experience amidst the expanse of tea gardens in Puncak Bogor with a series of sophisticated internet of things technologies through Bobocabin, Bobocabin presents an easy check-in process. One of the accommodation companies that has implemented the IOT concept is bobocabin but we can see together that tourism prioritizes hospitality in providing services provided by staff to guests who come. With this shift, this study aims to explore the relationship between IOT and the sustainability and development of the tourism industry. The method used is descriptive quantitative by distributing questionnaires to guests who have stayed before. The ability of the internet of things to integrate several technologies such as the internet, wireless, ZigBee, Bluetooth, infrared, GRPS, 3G and 4G, has been proven to be efficient in increasing comfort for its users to carry out various activities inside or outside the hotel room, which ultimately forms a positive experience for guests during their stay.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of tourism-oriented city branding in Singkawang and the role of local government in promoting sustainable cultural tourism through community participation. As one of Indonesia’s most multicultural cities, Singkawang has introduced the brand “Pasti Ke Singkawang!” to position itself as a unique and attractive destination. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach, combining interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that while the branding initiative has increased tourist visibility, it remains largely top-down and event-focused. Key challenges include limited integration of communal cultural assets, lack of grassroots involvement, and untapped potential in using intellectual property tools such as Geographical Indications (GI). Comparisons with other Indonesian cities—Yogyakarta, Solo, Denpasar, and Pekalongan—highlight the importance of community engagement, cultural protection, and institutional innovation in sustainable tourism branding. The study concludes that Singkawang’s brand can be strengthened by transforming it into a participatory platform that supports local creatives, protects intangible heritage, and integrates place-based cultural products into tourism strategies. This research contributes conceptually to the discourse on city branding as a tool for inclusive governance and sustainable development.

Abstract

Karangturi Tourism, Lasem District, Rembang Regency, which is famous for its acculturation of Javanese and Chinese cultures, as well as the heritage of Lasem batik which is a symbol of local cultural identity. Lasem, known as "Little China" in Central Java, has rich historical and cultural values, where Lasem batik, with its distinctive motifs and colors, is the main tourist attraction. Although Karangturi Village has basic infrastructure such as hotels, hostels, and food stalls, the management of community-based tourism (CBT) is still not optimal. Limitations in local tourism management, promotion, and cultural preservation are challenges in developing this village as a culture-based tourism destination. This study aims to explore the potential of community-based cultural tourism in Karangturi Village and strategies that can increase active community participation in tourism management, with a focus on the integration of Lasem batik in the development of community-based tourism. This research will be conducted in Karangturi Village by involving various stakeholders, such as local communities, batik craftsmen, tourism business managers, and local government. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD), semi-structured interviews, and field observations. The data obtained will be analyzed using thematic analysis, SWOT matrix. The results of the study show that Karangturi Lasem Tourism Village has a very strong cultural identity, especially in history, typical Chinese architecture, and unique Lasem batik. The existence of supporting facilities also provides added value for tourist comfort. However, challenges such as less than optimal transportation access and less than optimal promotion are obstacles that need to be overcome. Opportunities from the growing trend of cultural tourism and government support can be utilized with more aggressive and innovative marketing strategies. The contribution of this research is to make improvements in several sectors that are still less than optimal.

Service quality in the culinary industry is a key factor in creating customer satisfaction and business sustainability. Omboburi Space, as a hospitality-based creative space, still faces challenges related to inconsistencies in service standards, particularly in grooming, service sequence, and complaint handling due to differences in employees’ backgrounds. This community service program aims to enhance service professionalism through service excellence training using an interactive and practical approach. The activities included needs assessment, development of hospitality-based training materials, and an online workshop conducted via Zoom with 14 participants. The training covered personal grooming, service sequence, and complaint handling.  The results of the activity indicate an increase in employees' understanding and awareness of professional service standards, as reflected in the evaluation scores: Personal Grooming Understanding at 3.85, Service Sequence Execution at 3.78, Complaint Handling Ability at 4.00, and Professional Attitude Satisfaction at 3.92. This initiative demonstrates that industry-based training with a participatory approach is effective in enhancing human resource competencies in the hospitality sector and strengthening collaboration between higher education institutions and industry.
