Abstract

Tomohon is a city located in North Sulawesi Province, which is unique in that it has no ocean but is flanked by two volcanic mountains, Mount Lokon and Mount Mahawu. Both mountains are still active, but are considered to provide fertility for agriculture and plantations for local residents. Mahawu Mount has been designated as a special interest tourist attraction, where the local government has arranged infrastructure and facilities. However, the availability of existing facilities does not guarantee good management of the area, there are still many things that need attention. The purpose of this study was to examine visitor perceptions of the management of the Mahawu Mount tourist attraction facilities in Tomohon City. This research method uses a survey method conducted on 100 respondents who visit tourist sites.  The research instruments used were questionnaires and observations.  The  Likert scale is used to categorize each question, as well as the use of score interpretation to facilitate answers to respondents' assessments. The analysis used is descriptive, using tables and percentages.

Abstract

Inclusive tourism remains a challenge in Indonesia, particularly in marine destinations such as Bunaken Island, where accessibility and facilities for people with disabilities are lacking. This study aims to explore stakeholder perceptions, including government officials, tourism businesses, and local communities, regarding the availability and need for disability-friendly tourism infrastructure in Bunaken. A mixed-method approach was applied, combining quantitative surveys of 321 respondents with qualitative interviews and field observations. The findings reveal that stakeholders strongly agree (>4.1) on the urgency of providing access for disabled tourists and moderately agree (>3.7) on the importance of supporting facilities, including accessible toilets, communication aids, and modified transport. However, some respondents raised concerns related to renovation costs and implementation feasibility. The study concludes that inclusive tourism in Bunaken is both necessary and economically promising. Specific recommendations include prioritizing basic accessible infrastructure, engaging disabled persons organizations (DPOs) in planning, and leveraging public-private partnerships to fund improvements. This research contributes to the discourse on sustainable and inclusive tourism by offering empirical insights and practical strategies to make Bunaken Island a more accessible and welcoming destination for all.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of service quality provided by staff in the banquet hall on guest satisfaction in organizing events at the Peninsula Hotel Manado. Based on the findings of researchers, every time there is an event, staff often get complaints against the organizer, and it has become a hot issue developing outside the hotel, but it is still in the local Manado context. However, this will have an impact on the hotel if this is allowed and not handled properly. Through the survey method, research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents, and analyzed using simple linear regression, Spearman rank correlation, and the coefficient of determination. The result is that there is an influence of service quality on guest satisfaction, and there is a positive relationship between the two variables; the independent variable contributes to the dependent variable. Although the relationship and contribution are minor.
