Abstract

It has become increasingly common to develop the ecosystem of mangrove into a tourism product. Such trend is also seen in Indonesia, including the coastal part of Kulon Progo, DI Yogyakarta Province. However, as the case of other tourism niches, the development of mangrove-based tourism more often than not is facing myriad challenges. This brief research paper aims to identify the challenges related to mangrove-based tourism development, by using Kulon Progo mangrove areas as a case study. Based on data gathered from observation, GIS mapping, semi-structured interviewing, and literature study, this research finds that conflicts have been occurring in the development process of mangrove-based tourism in Kulon Progo. Conflicts related to local-to-local relations, intergroup competition, destination management, and tourism income distribution have been hindering the tourism development process. Given the main findings, potential conflict resolutions may include stakeholder collaboration, product innovation, and paradigmatic shift to shy away from mass tourism development model. This research contributes to the body of literature on mangrove tourism by adding the issue of tourism conflicts into the debate.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the most studied locations in surf tourism literature worldwide. But, for the most part, ‘local’ and ‘insider’ voices have been overlooked, favoring instead surf tourism knowledge produced by those who are ‘outsiders’ to the country. This article responds to such epistemic neglect by putting forward surf tourism research produced by Indonesian scholars residing institutionally in Indonesia-based universities. This corpus of literature, what I call ‘Indonesian surf tourism research’, is however still largely unknown, especially to international audience. Thus, this article aims to provide a state-of-the-art review by consulting with 35 research articles about surf tourism produced in and about Indonesia. The review intends to document what Indonesian surf tourism research looks like, what kinds of knowledge it produces, and what directions it is heading to. This results in the finding and discussion of six key thematic focuses: tourism development, local impacts, surf tourists, tourism package, suitability studies, and tourism promotion. Put together, these themes speak to broader and more international surf tourism literature by adding new case studies and offering distinct, yet sometimes overlapping, perspectives and insights on surf tourism. This article contributes an initial attempt at localizing knowledges about surf tourism in Indonesia, as well as a necessary first step towards more critical Indonesian surf tourism studies.
