Abstract

The creation of tourism-based employment is a key policy issue for local governments seeking to develop tourism as a driver of inclusive and sustainable job creation. This study analyzes the role of Gantangan Burung Lowokdoro Tourism in Malang City in creating employment and generating local economic linkages through event tourism activities. Using a qualitative descriptive case study design, data were collected through field observations and documentation. Data were analyzed by classifying economic activities, identifying direct and indirect labor involvement, and mapping job creation patterns across event operations, MSMEs, and supporting services. SWOT analysis was used to assess governance and institutional factors affecting employment sustainability and destination management strategies. The findings indicate that event-based tourism contributes to local job creation. Direct employment includes committee members, judges, and technical staff, while indirect employment involves local business actors, including MSMEs, food vendors, parking attendants, and local transportation providers. These findings demonstrate that indirect employment depends on the integration of local economic actors within the tourism ecosystem. The employment pattern is hybrid, combining temporary event-based jobs with semi-permanent economic activities that develop alongside event sustainability. Tourism activities also support business opportunities in hospitality, trade, transportation, and other supporting services, strengthening local economic linkages. However, employment sustainability depends on event continuity and governance, including stakeholder coordination, management capacity, partnerships, supporting facilities, and institutional strengthening. Theoretically, this study contributes to event tourism and development economics by explaining community-based employment creation through local economic linkages. Policy implications emphasize strengthening institutional capacity, MSME participation, and stakeholder collaboration to support sustainable tourism-based employment.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of several factors on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in ASEAN countries. These factors include macroeconomic variables (exchange rate, economic growth, trade balance, and trade openness) and an institutional variable (political stability). The study covers eight ASEAN member countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia, Brunei Darussalam, and Timor-Leste) over the period of 2014–2023. A quantitative approach using panel data regression was employed. Based on the Chow, Hausman, and LM tests, the Random Effect Model (REM) was selected as the best model. The results indicate that, collectively, all independent variables have a significant influence on FDI in the ASEAN region. Partial test results show that trade openness and economic growth have a positive and significant effect on FDI, whereas the exchange rate and political stability have a negative and significant effect. The trade balance does not have a significant influence. An Adjusted R-squared value of 0.161 indicates that 16.13 percent of the variation in FDI is explained by these five variables, with the remainder attributed to factors outside the model. This confirms that foreign investors are more responsive to long-term structural factors such as economic growth and trade openness.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in economic growth and employment generation; however, limited access to finance and market competitiveness remain major challenges affecting business performance. This study analyzes the effects of entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation on MSMEs’ financial and non-financial performance, as well as the moderating role of access to finance. This research employed a quantitative approach using survey data collected from 400 MSME owners and managers in Malang City, Indonesia. We analyzed the data using Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) in AMOS 21. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation positively and significantly influence both financial and non-financial performance. Access to finance significantly affects financial performance but not non-financial performance. Furthermore, access to finance strengthens the effect of market orientation on performance, while weakening the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and financial performance. These findings highlight the importance of integrating strategic orientation and financial accessibility to enhance sustainable MSME performance. JEL: G21, L25, M13.
