Data was collected through questionnaires with a Likert scale of 1-5. Data analysis used multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. The results showed that: (1) Verbal communication competence has a positive and significant effect on German tourists' satisfaction with a t-value of 9.061 and significance of 0.000; (2) Non-verbal communication competence has a positive and significant effect on German tourists' satisfaction with a t-value of 4.281 and significance of 0.000.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of the tour guide’s role into that of a cultural interpreter in Bali, investigating how cultural interpretation quality influences tourists’ understanding of local cultural values and the formation of meaningful tourism experiences. The primary novelty lies in simultaneously integrating Heritage Interpretation Theory and Intercultural Communication Theory within a single empirical framework and in explicitly connecting micro-level interpretive practices with macro-level policy and competency standards (SKKNI) a linkage absent from prior research. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, comprising a quantitative survey of 247 tourists (domestic and international) across four major Balinese cultural destinations, followed by qualitative in-depth interviews with 12 certified tour guides and 8 tourism policymakers. The findings revealed that cultural interpretation quality and tourists’ cultural value understanding were significant positive predictors of meaningful tourism experiences, together explaining 47% of outcome variance. Qualitative findings revealed a structural gap between evolving interpretive field practices and SKKNI standards that remain technically oriented. This study advances cultural tourism theory by positioning the tour guide as a pedagogical actor whose interpretive role requires systemic institutionalisation through policy reform and competency reorientation toward reflective, value-based guiding.

Abstract

This study analyses the potential, challenges, and strategies for sustainable tourism development in Nusa Penida through a SWOT approach supported by field observations and semi-structured interviews. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collected from field practice activities of students of the Travel and Tourism Business Study Program, Bali Tourism Polytechnic, in June 2025. The SWOT analysis was formulated into an IFAS and EFAS matrix, and validated by triangulation using literature and reports from relevant agencies. The results show that Nusa Penida has key strengths in the form of iconic natural beauty and strong local cultural potential, but faces serious challenges such as limited infrastructure, minimal public facilities, limited human resource capacity, and pressure on the environment. The IFAS and EFAS results place Nusa Penida in the aggressive quadrant, indicating the need to leverage internal strengths to capture significant external opportunities. Recommended development strategies include strengthening infrastructure and safety, digitizing tourism services, developing inclusive tourism packages, increasing local human resource capacity, and community-based environmental conservation. With a collaborative and sustainable approach, Nusa Penida has the potential to become a leading tourist destination that is resilient, inclusive, and adaptive to the dynamics of global tourism.

Abstract

Exploration of the implementation of mobile technology as an interactive learning media in the Tourism Polytechnic has not been used optimally. The purpose of this study is to explore the learning experience of students in understanding tourism materials using smartphone-based applications. The methodology applied includes the development of AR applications specifically designed for learning materials with a development design using the UTAUT2 method, followed by testing its effectiveness through a questionnaire with a Likert scale with a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis and analysis of student learning experience using the application with a qualitative approach using EFAS/IFAS SWOT analysis. The research revealed that students using a smartphone-based application showed significantly improved learning experiences. Data analysis indicated that 91.1% of respondents used their phones daily, and a majority reported increased motivation and engagement due to the interactive nature of the AR application, which facilitated a better understanding of complex tourism concepts. However, challenges such as varying comfort levels with technology among students and limited access to necessary devices were identified as factors that could hinder the effectiveness of AR in enhancing educational experiences.

Abstract

This study addresses a specific gap in tourism-gentrification research: although Bali has been widely discussed as a cultural tourism destination, few studies comparatively trace how tourism-led gentrification operates across villages positioned at different stages of socio-spatial transformation. By examining Canggu, Ubud, and Sidemen as advanced, mature, and early/emergent cases, the study offers a staged comparative account of how displacement, cultural adaptation, and resilience develop over time. Using a qualitative multi-method design, the research combines nine months of ethnographic fieldwork, fifty semi-structured interviews with residents, entrepreneurs, customary leaders, and officials, and analysis of policy and land-use documents. Data were examined through reflexive thematic analysis. Findings show that cultural displacement occurs through commodification of ritual space, speculative conversion of agricultural and customary land, and changing measures of community success and belonging. Communities respond through cultural bricolage, including ritual rescheduling, cooperative enterprises, and digital cultural representation. The theoretical contribution lies in reframing resilience as a finite and gradually depleted community resource rather than a stable attribute, while extending gentrification theory beyond class and property relations to include cosmological, customary, and identity-based forms of displacement. The study recommends early Cultural Impact Assessments, stronger adat and subak land protection, multi-stakeholder village tourism forums, and cultural entrepreneurship within vocational tourism education.
