Abstract

This phenomenological study explores tourists' narratives and perceptions regarding the authenticity of experiences at Sukomakmur Agrotourism, Magelang, through an eco-spiritual lens. Agrotourism has evolved beyond agricultural education to encompass cultural, spiritual, and ecological dimensions, yet empirical studies on how tourists narrate authenticity in Indonesian agrotourism contexts remain limited. Using in-depth interviews with 15 tourists and participatory observation over three months (July-October 2025), the research employed interpretative phenomenological analysis to identify emerging patterns in tourists' authentic experiences. The research reveals that authenticity is interpreted through three interconnected dimensions: physical authenticity manifested through natural landscape and farming activities, cultural authenticity expressed through local wisdom and community interactions, and spiritual authenticity experienced through contemplative moments and transcendental connection with nature. Tourists describe experiencing profound connectedness, personal reflection, and transformative insights influenced by local wisdom and the religious-cultural milieu. The integration of eco-spiritual values significantly enhances tourist experience quality, creating memorable and meaningful encounters. The findings suggest that integrating eco-spiritual values can be a distinguishing element for sustainable agrotourism development, offering theoretical contributions to authenticity literature and practical guidance for destination management in creating transformative tourism experiences.

Abstract

Community based tourism is an approach that involves the active participation of local communities in developing the potential of their region. This approach aims not only to improve economic wellbeing but also to play a significant role in preserving local culture. This study aims to examine the role of community-based tourism in promoting local products as an effort to preserve cultural heritage, with a case study on the traditional Betawi snack biji ketapang produced by MSMEs Dapur Emil in the Setu Babakan area. Biji ketapang, as one of the iconic Betawi foods, holds important cultural and historical value but is increasingly marginalized by modernization. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that community involvement in tourism activities particularly through the promotion and enhancement of local products can increase cultural awareness while providing economic value to local residents. MSMEs Dapur Emil acts as a key driver in preserving traditional culinary heritage and introducing Betawi cultural values to tourists. Therefore, the development of local products through communitybased tourism serves as an effective strategy for safeguarding cultural heritage and encouraging sustainable growth of local MSMEs.

Abstract

Gastronomic heritage has become an important component in strengthening cultural identity and tourism destination competitiveness. However, previous studies have primarily emphasized gastronomy as a tourism attraction, while the role of culinary entrepreneurs in preserving gastronomic heritage remains underexplored. This study aims to examine how culinary entrepreneurship contributes to preserving gastronomic heritage through a phenomenological approach. The research was conducted at Singkong Keju D-9 in Salatiga, Central Java, involving the business owner as the main participant. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using phenomenological data analysis. The findings reveal that culinary entrepreneurship preserves gastronomic heritage through four interconnected practices: revalorizing local food, preserving culinary authenticity, knowledge sharing, and community empowerment. These practices collectively transform local food into cultural and tourism assets while maintaining product authenticity, transmitting culinary knowledge, empowering local communities, and strengthening the identity of gastronomic destinations. The study further demonstrates that culinary entrepreneurs serve not only as economic actors but also as custodians and transmitters of gastronomic heritage. This research contributes to gastronomic tourism literature by proposing a research findings framework that explains the relationship between entrepreneurial practices and gastronomic heritage preservation, providing practical implications for developing sustainable gastronomy tourism destinations based on local cultural heritage.
