Abstract

Island micro-destinations in emerging economies often have abundant natural resources but face governance challenges and lack effective diagnostic tools. This research introduces the initial empirical application of the weighted destination performance index (WDPI) based on the 13A framework, which includes Awareness, Attractiveness, Availability, Access, Appearance, Activities, Assurance, Appreciation, Action, Accountability, Accommodation, Amenities and Ancillary Services, and Altruism. The case study on Pigago Island, West Sumatra, Indonesia, uses a mixed-methods approach, structured observation, interviews with 25 participants, and systematic Instagram content analysis of 100 posts, rating each attribute on a 1-5 scale and weighting them via expert elicitation. The WDPI advances understanding of destination competitiveness by addressing the natural asset trap, in which high natural capital hinders investment in governance and scenic assets fail to translate into lasting visitor benefits. Pigago's WDPI score of 2.66 classifies it as an Emerging Destination. Key contributions include a replicable diagnostic tool, a phased investment plan with institutional roles, and an attribute-weighting protocol suitable for resource-limited settings. While designed for island micro-destinations, this framework is adaptable to various destination types, and initial validation encourages further comparisons.

Abstract

This study explores residents' perceptions of Bagot Tourism Village development in Samosir Regency through cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions. Bagot Tourism Village emerged from a community-based initiative and has developed around local palm-sap culinary products, rural scenery, and community-managed visitor activities, but coordination and shared management remain uneven. A descriptive qualitative design was used. Eight informants were selected through purposive and snowball sampling: one Samosir Regency Tourism Office representative, the Bagot Village head, the tourism awareness group leader, and five residents living near the tourism area. Fieldwork was conducted from 26 December 2022 to 15 January 2023 using semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Data were reduced, displayed, coded into cognitive, affective, and conative categories, compared across informant groups, and triangulated across data sources. Cognitively, informants recognized the village's tourism potential, but knowledge of tourism-village governance, benefit distribution, and visitor management remained uneven. Affectively, most informants supported tourism development, although land-use and fairness concerns created points of tension. Conatively, residents participated in collective activities, but some actions remained oriented toward individual interests rather than shared programs. These findings represent the perspectives of the eight informants in the Bagot context and are not intended for statistical generalization. The study indicates that a resident forum, transparent benefit-sharing arrangements, clear land-use and participation rules, and continuous practical tourism education should be prioritized.
