Abstract

This study aims to evaluate destination management practices at Al Fath Stira Paradise Beach, an emerging coastal tourism destination in Pinrang Regency, Indonesia. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 105 respondents consisting of visitors, tourism business actors, and destination managers. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, field observations, and supporting documents, and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The findings reveal that overall destination management performance is categorized as good, particularly in promotion (85.7%), cleanliness (up to 83.8%), and service quality, including staff friendliness (82.9%) and professionalism (81.0%). However, several key weaknesses remain, particularly in attraction innovation (62.9%), stakeholder communication (65.7%), and consistency of facility maintenance. The planning dimension demonstrates a relatively strong foundation, especially in data-based decision-making (83.8%), but lacks optimal stakeholder involvement. In addition, the results indicate that while social media promotion is effective, collaboration with external partners is still limited. This study contributes both theoretically and practically by providing empirical evidence on the implementation of destination management in a local coastal context. The findings highlight the need for more structured planning, stronger stakeholder coordination, continuous attraction development, and integrated promotion strategies to enhance destination competitiveness and sustainability. The study offers practical recommendations for policymakers and destination managers to improve tourism management in emerging coastal destinations

Abstract

This study aims to formulate a community-based ecotourism development strategy at Rombeng Pine Forest, Bonto Lojong Village, Bantaeng Regency, using a qualitative approach and SWOT analysis method. Data were collected through interviews with managers, local communities, and tourists, as well as field observations. The results indicate that the ecotourism quality in this area is still limited, especially regarding infrastructure and supporting facilities. This study proposes an amenity development model that involves community empowerment through skill training and the enhancement of sustainable tourism facilities. The impact of this model is expected to improve the quality of the tourist experience and provide more stable income for the local community. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of sustainable ecotourism management, involving various stakeholders in planning and implementation. The implications of this research highlight the importance of developing policies that support community-based ecotourism and raising awareness of environmental conservation. This research also contributes to the development of knowledge in the field of ecotourism and offers recommendations for ecotourism managers in similar areas
