Abstract

Tri Hita Karana (THK), a core Balinese philosophy emphasizing harmony between religious, human, and environmental values, is a guiding principle in tourism development and environmental communication. This study analyzed the effectiveness of environmental communication practices rooted in THK at Melasti Beach. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data collection methods included observation, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders such as the customary leader of Ungasan Village, Melasti Beach managers, local community members, and tourists. Data triangulation was used to validate findings and ensure reliability. The research findings reveal that environmental communication based on THK principles has effectively fostered pro-environmental behaviors among stakeholders. By integrating spiritual reverence, social cohesion, and ecological care, implementing THK-oriented communication strategies at Melasti Beach has preserved the natural environment and strengthened community engagement and cultural integrity. This study underscores the potential of local wisdom like THK to inspire sustainable tourism practices and environmental stewardship in Bali and beyond.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the relationship between perceived risk and perceived behavioural control on Gen Z's solo travel intention mediated by trust. Design/Methods/Approach: A purposive sampling method was used to collect data through an online questionnaire using Microsoft Forms. A total of 404 respondents were collected from Gen Z. Data analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM through outer and inner models by using SmartPLS 4. Findings: The findings suggest that perceived risk and perceived behavioural control have a direct impact on solo travel intention. In addition, the mediating effect of trust has an indirect impact on solo travel intentions. Originality/Value: This study adds the mediating effect of trust in testing risk factors and behavioural control on Gen Z's solo traveling intention. The context of solo traveling remains under-researched in Gen Z, due to the relatively new phenomenon of solo traveling and the lack of Gen Z solo travellers.  This research aims to fill the gap by highlighting these important aspects. Practical/Policy implication: This research provides several implications for practitioners, stakeholders and app developers in the tourism industry in making decisions to develop safe solo travel for potential solo travellers. Building cooperation to ensure safe destinations for solo travellers, creating solo travel apps, promoting safe solo travel on social media, and building flexible policies.
