Abstract

The term "halal tourism" is indeed recognized in Indonesia, nonetheless, its pros and cons are happening. Unlike any other non-Muslim countries such as Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Thailand, which tend to have less conflict between tourism stakeholders regarding the development of halal tourism, the rejection occurs in Indonesia as a country with a Muslim majority population. The rejection culminated in 2019 as a political year along with the presidential elections. The rejection of halal tourism occurs in tourism destinations such as Bali, Labuan Bajo, Toba, and Toraja known as the Muslim minority population area. Based on those issues, this study uses a qualitative approach to investigate the rejection reasons from the tourism stakeholders, to provide theoretical clarification on the stigma against halal tourism, and to analyze how halal tourism branding policy in tourism destinations. The result shows that the rejection of halal tourism by the tourism stakeholders was due to concerns that there would be a change in the destination’s image. To prevent prolonged debate and possible social conflict, the Indonesian government can use another term that sounds more moderate and acceptable for tourism stakeholders in non-Muslim destinations. Moreover, tourism stakeholders in each destination should take over the use of halal branding, so that the tourism policies adopted are regional initiatives (bottom-up policies).

Abstract

This study suggests how adaptive event organizers should be toward virtual and hybrid events, explore the constraints, and recommend policies to support virtual and hybrid events in Indonesia. It uses a quantitative descriptive method, and data are collected through an online survey using the Survey Monkey application. The survey was conducted from August to September 2021, involving 170 event organizer managers. The result shows that they mostly earn income from management fees during the pandemic. Event organizers also take several ways to increase engagement in virtual events, such as combining internal and external resources to serve personnel and technical equipment and to keep the events productive. Policy support through capacity building in some aspects is highly recommended to increase the managerial skills of event organizers to produce higher quality outputs of the event. The suggested training materials cover how to monetize virtual events, how to improve skills in the technological aspects, and how to increase engagement for participants. This research provides an overview of virtual and hybrid events in Indonesia so that the government can take the necessary policies in creating quality events, especially during the pandemic.
