Abstract

As a business that relies on human mobility, the tourism sector has proven to be severely affected by the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The paralysis of tourism both nationally and globally as a result of the lockdown policy in various countries and the Large-Scale Social Restriction (LSSR) policy in Indonesia affects the operations of tourism businesses. This has raised high anxiety for Tourism Human Resources about the future of the tourism business. This research discusses culture shock, adaptation, and self-concept of Tourism Human Resources in welcoming the new normal era from a communication perspective, both related to intercultural communication, interpersonal communication, and self-concept as part of communication psychology. This research used a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, field observations, and document study through WhatsApp messages in several professional association groups, webinars, and mass media. The key informants in the research were 14 people as primary data and more than 200 members of the WhatsApp group “Housekeepers Jabar” as secondary data. The results of this research showed that Tourism Human Resources suffered from a culture shock and reached its lowest point in March to mid-April, but rose slowly from late April to June. There are three very stressful aspects of their life, consisting of cultural, social, and economic aspects. Cultural and social aspects are relatively easier to overcome, but the economic aspects are the most impactful because it concerns the sustainability of their life and their families. The period of awareness in the adaptation process is a period of struggle, creativity, and action so that many of them switch professions to run online businesses. This period is still ongoing and it is not known how long it will end. Positive self-concept plays an important role in a person’s success in adapting to survive because it helps a person to be resilient, patient, courageous, and creative in finding solutions in facing challenges thus opening up greater opportunities to successfully solve the problems.

Abstract

Visiting tourist villages has become an alternative tourism trend favored by both domestic and international tourists. This trend is driven by tourists’ desire to gain new experiences and discover unique and distinctive natural and cultural attractions. Cireundeu Traditional Village is an increasingly visited destination, especially by students, university students, and academics. The management of these tourist villages is based on community involvement, known as Community-Based Tourism (CBT), where the participation of the local community is essential. This research aims to explore and analyze how the organizational communication of the Pokdarwis (Tourism Awareness Group) is carried out with mentors, fellow administrators, and the community in the context of managing the Cireundeu Traditional Village. The research seeks to identify communication patterns, obstacles, and the effectiveness of the communication strategies implemented. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was collected through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with members of the Pokdarwis, mentors, administrators, and local community members. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify key patterns and themes in organizational communication based on local wisdom. The results show that Pokdarwis’ organizational communication is mostly acquired autodidactically. They can effectively understand and implement organizational communication functions and flows based on local wisdom. The Pokdarwis can communicate vertically, horizontally, and diagonally with mentors, fellow administrators, and the community. They can also express ideas and views, inform, empathize, and coordinate in the management of the Cireundeu Traditional Village. The organizational communication behavior of the Pokdarwis is based on local wisdom communication traditions, which include the principles of mutual learning, caring, nurturing, and sharing. It also involves relational foundations such as compassion for others, respect for lineage, etiquette, courteous behavior, and self-control.
