Abstract

This article examines the influence of local culture on tourist loyalty, focusing on a case study in Bali, Indonesia. Through a quantitative approach, this study uses structural equation modelling (SEM) with smart partial least squares (PLS) to analyse data from a survey involving 276 tourists. This study identifies and measures the direct impact of two independent variables, namely local ‘cultural richness’, and ‘cultural interaction’, on destination loyalty, with ‘tourist satisfaction’ as the mediating variable and ‘previous travel experience’ as the moderating variable. The results show that local cultural richness and cultural interaction have a significant influence on tourist satisfaction, which in turn affects destination loyalty. Nonetheless, previous travel experience has proven not to moderate the relationship between tourist satisfaction towards destination loyalty (? = -0.021). These findings provide valuable insights for destination managers and policymakers in developing marketing strategies that focus on local culture to increase tourist loyalty.

Abstract

Tourism villages contribute significantly to Bali's economic development by promoting rural entrepreneurship. However, the sector faces challenges such as low product quality, ineffective marketing, and competition from low-cost imported products. This study explores collaboration and diversification strategies to ensure the economic sustainability of Bali’s village tourism and rural businesses. Data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using the SWOT method to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The results highlight the importance of community involvement, partnership networks, creative product development, effective marketing, and long-term business management. Findings from four villages indicate that collaboration with local industries and sustainable tourism initiatives enhances community income. To support sustainable tourism and improve community welfare, it is recommended that the government and stakeholders strengthen the promotion of local products and maximize the cultural and economic potential of villages.

Abstract

Balinese Arak (an alcoholic beverage) faces structural challenges in governance, market positioning, and brand consolidation despite legalization under Bali Governor Regulation No. 1 of 2020 and production exceeding 4,000 liters per month. Fragmented pricing, inconsistent quality, and weak brand governance limit its competitiveness in Bali’s hospitality industry, dominated by imported wines and international spirits. This study examines how stakeholder collaboration and governance mechanisms strengthen branding and competitive positioning of Balinese Arak as a heritage-based tourism product. Using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with artisans, cooperatives, government officials, and hospitality actors in Karangasem Regency (a key production center) in East Bali, the findings reveal that regulatory support, cooperative institutionalization, product standardization, and collaborative branding convert cultural legitimacy into competitive advantage. Branding functions as a governance-driven process integrating quality assurance, adaptive innovation, and cross-sector collaboration, enhancing market credibility, hospitality integration, and long-term sustainability within Bali’s tourism economy.
