Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming tourism by enabling personalised experiences, optimising operations, and supporting sustainable destination development. While extensive research has explored AI applications in advanced economies, studies remain limited in emerging contexts such as Indonesia. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how AI adoption can accelerate tourism destination development in Indonesia, a country with rich natural and cultural assets but significant digital, infrastructural, and governance challenges. Employing a qualitative strategic management approach, this study integrates SWOT–TOWS analysis and expert panel validation to identify internal and external factors influencing AI readiness. The findings position Indonesia in the Strength–Opportunity (SO) quadrant, suggesting that AI technologies—such as recommendation systems, virtual storytelling, and predictive analytics—hold significant potential for destination differentiation and sustainability. However, persistent barriers include low AI literacy, fragmented data systems, and regulatory limitations. The study contributes theoretically by contextualizing Innovation Diffusion Theory and Smart Tourism frameworks within a developing economy. Practically, it offers a strategic roadmap for inclusive and ethical AI adoption in tourism. Future research should explore quantitative modeling, cross-country comparisons, and the development of tourism-specific AI governance frameworks.

Abstract

Religious pilgrimage among Indonesia's urban Muslim Generation Z is undergoing a notable transformation, shaped by their digital fluency, heightened historical awareness, and evolving religious consciousness. This study explores these dynamics by extending the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with six contextual variables: religious commitment, historical literacy, scientific skepticism, perceived relevance, destination attractiveness, and digital social norms. Using a structured online survey conducted over six weeks in August-September 2025, data were gathered from 400 respondents. We applied Structural Equation Modeling (Partial Least Squares) to analyze the model. Results reveal that religious commitment, historical literacy, and perceived relevance are key drivers of favorable attitudes toward pilgrimage, while scientific skepticism introduces a countercurrent—highlighting this generation's demand for authenticity and intellectual engagement in spiritual practice. Notably, digitally embedded social norms strongly influence intention, reflecting the performative nature of religious expression in online networks. Attitude and intention were found to significantly shape actual travel behavior, aligning with TPB while revealing impulsive tendencies rooted in strong ideological beliefs. These findings offer fresh perspectives on youth religiosity, digital spirituality, and the socio-cultural fabric of Islamic tourism. For practitioners, the study provides actionable insights into designing experiences that are historically grounded, culturally resonant, and digitally relevant for Indonesia's emerging cohort of Muslim travelers.

Abstract

Indonesia's Law No. 18/2025 marks a decisive shift from a quantity-driven framework to a quality-focused "Tourism Ecosystem." However, the governance consequences of this deregulation remain under-theorized. Employing a critical socio-legal approach and systems theory, this article contrasts the 2025 reform with Law No. 10 of 2009. The study identifies a "Regulatory Grand Bargain" producing a "Tight-Loose Governance Paradox." Specifically, the state trades structural decentralisation—achieved by abolishing the single-bar industry association—for functional intensification through mandatory Competency Certification and strict carrying-capacity limits. While this architecture advances sustainable tourism, it exposes vulnerabilities: an "orchestration deficit" in intersectoral coordination and the risk of social exclusion for community-based actors. To mitigate these unintended outcomes, the study recommends establishing a digital orchestration platform to enhance policy coherence and implementing affirmative certification subsidies to ensure equitable participation across the new tourism ecosystem.

Abstract

The distribution of tourism potential in Purworejo Regency has been well mapped and must be supported by suitable approach, one of which is the development of river tourism. The actual river tourism activities that have been developed on the Bogowonto River are adventure tourism activities, namely white water rafting. However, the potential of river tourism on Bogowonto River is not only limited for rafting. The development of recreational fishing products on the Bogowonto River can be an opportunity for tourism development in Purworejo Regency. Recreational fishing regarded as a form of tourism activity in accordance with sustainable tourism (Hall, 2019; UNWTO, 2021). This can be seen from the pattern of recreational fishing that does not focus on the number of fish caught, the arrangement of the tools used, as well as the positive impact given to the community on the economic side. The study (Butler et al., 2020) shows that there is a positive contribution of fishing tourism to ecological preservation. From the business side, the Government of Indonesia has regulated fishing tourism businesses (Regulation of the Minister of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia No. 19 of 2015 concerning Standards for Fishing Tourism Business, 2015), including business arrangements for providing places and facilities for fishing activities using special equipment and safety equipment including the provision of guide services. This study will identify and analyze recreational fishing tourism products based on packages, fishing equipment, fishing tour guides and supporting facilities in the Bogowonto River Area, Purworejo Regency. The long-term goal of this research is to contribute to the design of recreational fishing products for the development of tourist destinations in Purworejo Regency as a guide for stakeholders regarding the utilization of the Bogowonto River

Abstract

This study aims to explicitly investigate the complex interplay between User-Generated Content (UGC) exposure, Travel FOMO, risk mitigation, and post-trip behavioral outcomes among novice national park visitors. Employing a cross-sectional quantitative design and purposive sampling, this research analyzed 601 novice travelers (Generation Z and Millennials) visiting Indonesian national parks. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that UGC triggers both FOMO and Risk Mitigation Behavior (RMB). However, FOMO fails to drive rational preparedness. A Safety Paradox is confirmed: mitigation efforts intensify perceived trail difficulty, which paradoxically enhances mindfulness and Nature Connectedness. This process ultimately drives Experiential Satisfaction, Environmental Stewardship, and e-WOM advocacy. This study extends Protection Motivation Theory by identifying a digital affective bias in which social anxiety overrides objective safety. It further enriches the Adventure Experience Paradigm by proving that logistical preparedness effectively shatters the illusion of ease perpetuated by social media.
