Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the extent of the readiness of Morotai Island's cultural tourism destinations, especially at the Museum Trikora and Army Dock Beach tourist attractions, in applying the principles of sustainable tourism. These two objects were chosen because the management and facilities at the location have not been optimally developed, despite having high historical value. Research Methods: This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, where data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Result and discussion: The findings show that both Museum Trikora and Army Dock Beach are not fully prepared to implement sustainable tourism principles. Museum Trikora has damaged facilities and restricted activities, while Army Dock Beach lacks official management and adequate facilities. Community involvement and coordination among agencies are limited. Implication: From the results of observations in the field and by approaching five main aspects, namely management, infrastructure and facilities, community involvement, environmental and cultural preservation, as well as promotion and accessibility, it was found that the level of understanding and involvement of the community and managers towards the principles of sustainable tourism is still relatively low. This research concludes that improving management, active community involvement, and strengthening supporting facilities are important steps to realize a more sustainable cultural tourism destination.

The purpose of this study was to determine the elements of tourist attractions, determine the characteristics, perceptions, and readiness of the community, determine the characteristics, perceptions, and readiness of managers, determine the characteristics, perceptions, motivations, and preferences of visitors, and determine the interpretation program. This study uses a Mixed Method. In this study, the data analysis used is descriptive qualitative and descriptive quantitative. Data analysis with a qualitative descriptive method is a way of describing data not in the form of numbers but based on comprehensive information obtained in the field and describing the data. This analysis is used to describe the general conditions of the place where the research activities are carried out and the elements of tourist attractions consisting of tourist attractions, accessibility, and amenities. The results of the identification and analysis of the community, managers, and visitors are used as a reference in the interpretation program planning process. The design of the interpretation program planning is in the form of an activity program, interpretation flow, interpretation facilities and infrastructure, and interpretation narratives
