Abstract

This study explores the everyday work practices of women who own and manage family-based homestays in Sayan Village, Ubud, Bali. The research aims to describe the operational roles undertaken by female owner-managers and examine how these responsibilities intersect with their domestic routines. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, involving in-depth interviews and non-participant observations with eight women who have operated their homestays for five to fifteen years. The findings indicate that women carry out a wide range of tasks, including housekeeping, breakfast preparation, guest relations, booking communication, and basic financial documentation. These responsibilities are performed alongside ongoing domestic duties, creating a continuous rhythm of household and tourism work within the same spatial and temporal setting. The study shows that women’s hands-on involvement forms the core of homestay service delivery and underpins the personalized atmosphere characteristic of family-run accommodations. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of micro-level tourism labor in rural Bali and highlight the essential role of women in sustaining homestay quality.

Abstract

Small islands are frequently promoted as ecotourism destinations due to their ecological sensitivity and bounded environments, yet little is known about how tourists interpret and negotiate ecological responsibility in these contexts. This qualitative study explores how tourists make sense of ecological responsibility during ecotourism experiences on small islands in Eastern Indonesia. Drawing on in depth interviews with twenty six foreign tourists across multiple island destinations, the study examines moments of environmental awareness, tensions between care and convenience, moral justifications, and perceptions of acceptable ecological impact. The findings show that ecological responsibility is not enacted as a fixed commitment but as a situational and negotiated process shaped by emotional responses, perceived constraints, and responsibility attribution. Tourists often engage in selective and symbolic sustainability practices that allow them to reconcile environmental concern with leisure expectations. By conceptualizing ecological responsibility as moral negotiation, this study contributes to sustainable tourism and ecotourism literature by offering a context sensitive understanding of how sustainability is interpreted and practiced in small island settings. The findings provide insights for designing ecotourism strategies that align ethical responsibility with visitor experience.
