Ensuring proper safety standards in critical for minimizing risk and enhanching the destination’s appeal. To understand the guides role in delivering safe, comfortable, and memorable experiences. The study employed a qualitative methodology, data was gathered through interviews with tourist, guide and the Indonesian Tourist Association management. Complimented by field observations to document activities and validate information. The key findings reveal that guides are highly effective at providing informative briefings, supervising tourist, and possess relevant training in water rescue and guide competency. The study concludes that investing in guide skills is a proven strategy for improving tourist safety and preventing future water accidents, recommending ongoing training updates.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the religious–digital tensions experienced by Muslim Gen Z tourists in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Indonesia, arising from the gap between their expectations of an integrated digital–halal ecosystem and the realities of infrastructure and destination governance. It conceptualizes these tensions as a systemic phenomenon with implications for the Islamic management of halal tourism.Methodology – A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), combining in-depth interviews with seven participants and a focus group discussion (FGD) with four, totalling eleven Muslim Gen Z tourists selected purposively. Data were analyzed inductively and deductively, supported by member checking, back-translation, and source triangulation. Findings – The analysis reveals six interrelated tension clusters: (1) universal connectivity versus discriminatory signals, (2) cashless ecosystem versus partial payment infrastructure, (3) digital halal certification versus informal trust, (4) comfortable halal accommodation versus rigid formalization, (5) accessible Islamic finance versus limited outreach, and (6) responsive versus fragmented governance. These tensions form a layered compound system across infrastructural, informational, and conceptual–regulatory levels.Implications – The findings offer strategic recommendations for destination managers, Islamic financial institutions, and halal certification bodies to close the implementation gap in NTB's halal tourism, transferable within specified scope conditions to comparable subnational halal-branded destinations worldwide.Originality – This study is among the first to conceptualize halal tourism tensions as a layered compound system through IPA of Muslim Gen Z tourists in a Muslim-majority subnational destination in India. It formally defines digitally compounded halal risk as an extension of Perceived Halal Risk.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of educational tourism at the Mangkunegaran Museum by highlighting five main dimensions: digital interpretation, guide education quality, authenticity and conservation, facility inclusivity, and cognitive impact. The research method uses source triangulation (managers, guides, tourists) and method triangulation (observation, interviews, documentation) to ensure data validity. The results show a significant gap between global standards for modern museums and the actual conditions at Mangkunegaran. Digital interpretation is not yet available, so visitors rely on verbal explanations. The guides are skilled at storytelling based on local wisdom, but the narratives are still descriptive and lack pedagogical value. The authentic collections are not accompanied by transparent conservation practices, so visitors do not understand the preservation process. Inclusive facilities are limited due to the historic architectural structure, which makes it difficult for people with disabilities and the elderly to access. The cognitive impact on visitors is relatively low because the learning experience is more superficial, although interactive activities such as dance and batik workshops have been shown to increase positive perceptions of Javanese culture. The conclusion emphasises the need for a development strategy through the digitisation of collections, capacity building for guides, participatory conservation, the provision of inclusive facilities, and interactive programmes. This transformation will make the Mangkunegaran Museum not only a space for preserving artefacts, but also an adaptive and relevant cultural learning centre for future generations.
