Abstract

This study examines the impact of halal tourism on return intention, with homophily as a mediating variable among visitors from North Sumatra who travel to tourist destinations in Sabang Island and Banda Aceh. The growing interest in halal tourism highlights the importance of aligning tourism services with travelers' religious beliefs. However, there remains a gap in understanding how perceived social and cultural similarities (homophily) can enhance revisit intention. A quantitative approach was used, employing a survey technique to collect data from 95 respondents through accidental sampling. Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was applied to assess direct and indirect relationships between variables. The findings show that halal tourism positively and significantly impacts revisit intention. Additionally, halal tourism significantly influences homophily, which, in turn, affects revisit intention. These results suggest that homophily mediates the relationship between halal tourism and return intention. When tourists share similar beliefs, lifestyles, and religious practices with a destination, it fosters emotional connection and comfort. This study emphasizes the importance of developing halal tourism locations that not only provide sharia-compliant facilities but also cultivate social interactions tailored to tourists' attributes. Destination managers and stakeholders must focus on value alignment, community engagement, and inclusive social interactions to enhance tourist loyalty and encourage repeat visits

Furthermore, the Z-test result showed that Zcount was greater than Ztable (5.43 > 1.96), indicating that the alternative hypothesis was accepted.

Abstract

This community service program aims to develop an integrated agro-tourism and wellness educational tour package in Sugihen Village, Juhar District, Karo Regency, North Sumatra. Despite its diverse agricultural potential such as premium rice, lemongrass oil for wellness, and innovative liquid smoke technology for pest control and security the village lacks standard hospitality and structured tour operations. To bridge this gap, a team of lecturers from the Hospitality Management Study Program at Institut Bisnis IT&B Medan conducted a participatory mentoring program on May 15, 2026. The training targeted 20–25 participants from local farmer groups, family welfare empowerment (PKK) groups, youth groups, and village officials. It covered essential competencies, including hospitality mindset, tour guiding with storytelling, local mixology for welcome drinks, and standard wellness presentation using local lemongrass oil. The program successfully transformed the community's paradigm into a professional hospitality mindset and produced a customized Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) handbook for village guest management. Evaluation data showed that 100% of participants rated the instructors, modules, and their own post-training comprehension as excellent, establishing a sustainable framework for economic self-sufficiency.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate how resilience, digital innovation, and green tourism can enhance climate change adaptation in Sugihen Tourism Village, North Sumatra. Through a stratified proportional random sampling procedure, 300 respondents representing tourism company owners, local communities, village government, tourism awareness groups, and tourists were surveyed to collect quantitative data. Surveys and interviews were used to collect primary data, while government statistics and relevant publications were used to collect secondary data. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS 4 was used for data analysis. The findings revealed that climate change adaptation was positively and significantly influenced by resilience, digital innovation, and green tourism. Furthermore, the relationship between resilience and climate change was significantly mediated by digital innovation and green tourism, indicating that the adoption of sustainable tourism practices and technological solutions is more common in resilient areas. These results imply that combining digital innovation with green tourism tactics can enhance tourism competitiveness, promote sustainable local development, and improve climate resilience at the village level. Policymakers and stakeholders in rural tourism destinations facing climate change issues can benefit from this research's conceptual model, which integrates digital transformation, socio-ecological resilience, and environmentally conscious tourism.
