Abstract

Tourism has emerged as a significant economic driver in many regions, yet its impacts on local communities remain a topic of debate. This study delves into the perceptions of residents in Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia, regarding the effects of tourism development. By employing a quantitative approach with a questionnaire distributed to 252 respondents, the research aims to uncover the underlying factor structure of these perceptions and investigate the influence of socio-demographic characteristics. The findings reveal that one key variable, “Working in the Tourism Industry”, has a significant bearing on how locals perceive tourism impacts. Despite concerns about potential negative consequences, the community generally supports the growth of the tourism sector. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between socio-demographic factors and community perceptions. The insights gained can guide stakeholders in formulating effective and sustainable tourism development strategies that actively involve and benefit the local population.

Abstract

The growth of nature-based tourism raises environmental concerns if not accompanied by responsible tourist behavior. This study aims to analyze the effect of memorable nature-based tourism experiences on connectedness to nature and tourist satisfaction, and their implications for environmental awareness and environmentally responsible behavioral intentions, from an environmental education perspective. A quantitative explanatory design was employed, with data collected through a survey using questionnaires distributed to tourists selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results indicate that memorable naturebased tourism experiences have a positive and significant effect on both connectedness to nature and tourist satisfaction. Furthermore, these variables positively influence environmental awareness, which emerges as the strongest predictor of environmentally responsible behavioral intentions. These findings highlight the role of tourism experiences as a form of experiential environmental education that shapes tourists’ awareness and behavior. The study implies that destination managers should integrate environmental education strategies into tourism management by designing meaningful experiences that foster learning, awareness, and pro-environmental behavior. Such an approach strengthens the role of tourism as an educational medium for sustainability.
