Abstract

This study examines the role of the Bajra Sandhi Monument as a dark tourism destination, highlighting its contribution to collective memory and cultural tourism in Bali. The monument serves as a site of historical education, presenting narratives of Bali’s struggle against colonialism through dioramas and reflective spaces. It strengthens collective memory by fostering awareness of historical events and cultural identity among visitors and locals. Additionally, the monument enhances Bali’s cultural tourism by offering a meaningful alternative to its natural attractions, integrating historical and cultural narratives. Despite its benefits, the monument faces challenges such as the risks of commercialization, which could diminish its historical significance. To address this, sustainable management practices are recommended, alongside adopting digital storytelling technologies to enrich the visitor experience. Involving local communities in its preservation ensures stronger cultural ownership, while future research can explore its influence on international perceptions of Bali's history. The Bajra Sandhi Monument exemplifies the potential of dark tourism to balance cultural preservation and tourism development.

Abstract

Overtourism in Bali, particularly in the regions of Badung, Denpasar, and Ubud, has become a growing concern, as it significantly impacts the environment, infrastructure, and cultural integrity of the destination. This research aims to analyze how the media frames the issue of overtourism in these regions, emphasizing spatial exploitation and environmental carrying capacity. The objective is to examine how the media highlights the environmental, social, and cultural pressures of overtourism, and how different actors—such as the government, tourism industry, and local communities are portrayed in the discourse. A qualitative approach with framing analysis was employed, using news reports from credible international and national media sources between 2023 and 2025. The findings reveal that Badung is framed as the epicentre of overtourism, with issues of congestion and pollution, while Denpasar is viewed through the lens of urbanization challenges. Ubud's framing focuses on cultural commercialization and the loss of traditional identity. The media often offers solutions such as tourism taxes, better spatial regulations, and diversifying tourism destinations to reduce pressures on the most affected areas. The study concludes by providing recommendations for sustainable tourism policies, emphasizing the importance of carrying capacity management, better spatial planning, and tourism diversification to preserve Bali's environment and cultural heritage.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis motivasi, pengalaman, dan peran media sosial dalam dinamika permintaan Gen Z terhadap nature-based tourism dan wellness tourism di Ubud, Bali. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan wisatawan Gen Z, penyedia jasa wellness, dan agen perjalanan daring (OTA), serta didukung observasi partisipan. Analisis dilakukan secara tematik untuk mengidentifikasi pola motivasi dan perilaku wisata. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi utama Gen Z didorong oleh kebutuhan akan kesejahteraan mental, pelepasan stres, dan pencarian keseimbangan hidup (push factors), yang diperkuat oleh daya tarik alam dan atmosfer spiritual Ubud (pull factors). Pengalaman yoga dan spa memberikan dampak positif terhadap kesejahteraan fisik dan emosional. Media sosial berperan penting dalam tahap pencarian informasi dan pembentukan ekspektasi perjalanan, meskipun keputusan akhir tetap mempertimbangkan aspek harga dan nilai.

Abstract

This study analyses the potential, challenges, and strategies for sustainable tourism development in Nusa Penida through a SWOT approach supported by field observations and semi-structured interviews. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collected from field practice activities of students of the Travel and Tourism Business Study Program, Bali Tourism Polytechnic, in June 2025. The SWOT analysis was formulated into an IFAS and EFAS matrix, and validated by triangulation using literature and reports from relevant agencies. The results show that Nusa Penida has key strengths in the form of iconic natural beauty and strong local cultural potential, but faces serious challenges such as limited infrastructure, minimal public facilities, limited human resource capacity, and pressure on the environment. The IFAS and EFAS results place Nusa Penida in the aggressive quadrant, indicating the need to leverage internal strengths to capture significant external opportunities. Recommended development strategies include strengthening infrastructure and safety, digitizing tourism services, developing inclusive tourism packages, increasing local human resource capacity, and community-based environmental conservation. With a collaborative and sustainable approach, Nusa Penida has the potential to become a leading tourist destination that is resilient, inclusive, and adaptive to the dynamics of global tourism.

Abstract

Quality public service is a key factor in improving satisfaction, including for tourists arranging their passports. This study analyses the implementation of public service culture in passport services for domestic tourists at the Ngurah Rai Class I Special Immigration Office. A descriptive qualitative method with a single-case design was applied, involving 15 purposively selected informants consisting of 4 officers and 11 tourist applicants. Data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analysed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, and validated through triangulation. The findings reveal an uneven pattern: system-backed values of responsibility and equality have become institutionalised, whereas professionalism, friendliness, and transparency, which depend on personal interaction, remain inconsistent, especially at peak hours. The study frames passport processing as part of the tourist's pre-travel experience, so that the service culture of immigration offices helps shape the first impression of the journey.

The emergence of digital technology and social media has fundamentally changed the landscape of the tourism industry, particularly in facilitating community-based collective travel practices such as open trips and backpacker tourism. This study aims to map the latest trends, characteristics of tourists, and business implications of this phenomenon through a scoping review approach based on the PRISMA-ScR framework.

On the other hand, the existence of conventional travel agents faces the challenge of disintermediation, but at the same time opens up opportunities for strategic collaboration with online communities and micro-influencers to develop narrative-based and community-based tour packages. The results of the research provide a conceptual contribution to the digital tourism literature and offer practical implications for industry players to adopt hybrid business models that are adaptive, inclusive, and relevant to today's digital tourism dynamics. Advanced research suggestions include an in-depth exploration of community business model design as well as the integration of artificial intelligence in personalized travel planning and recommendations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the accommodation contracting process in supporting travel agent services, with a case study at EXO Travel Indonesia. The research identifies key issues such as delays in contract finalization, mismatches between contract prices and reservation system entries, and limited internal coordination, all of which can impact service quality and operational efficiency. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation over a six-month period involving 25 respondents from internal teams and hotel partners. The data were analyzed through processes of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing with ongoing verification. Findings reveal that while the contracting process is generally effective, it still faces administrative and communication challenges. Nevertheless, the presence of clear, detailed, and flexible contracts contributes positively to service delivery by enhancing client satisfaction and strengthening relationships with accommodation partners. The study also finds that service effectiveness is significantly supported by the clarity of contractual information and the proactive role of the contracting team in ensuring smooth cross-department coordination. These insights emphasize the importance of a streamlined and collaborative contracting process in delivering efficient and high-quality services within the travel industry.
