Abstract

Tourism has emerged as one of the largest and most rapidly growing economic sectors in the world. Nevertheless, many tourist destinations have been periodically confronted by natural disasters that threaten their survival as an industry by negatively impacting their image and safety perception. This research assessed tourists’ perception of the risk and images of a destination that is considered prone to natural disasters, by surveying 537 tourists in Yogyakarta and Bali. This study contributes to the debate on tourism development issues related to negative perceptions and images that have discouraged prospective tourists from visiting affected destinations. The results of the survey indicated that the occurrence of past disasters did not strongly influence tourists’ decision to visit Indonesia. Instead, the creation of the destination image was informed more by its current situation, and it is these current factors that may encourage or discourage potential tourists. These findings should signal to tourism planners that while environmental disasters are unavoidable, post-disaster rehabilitation of a destination’s image would significantly increase its chances of rebounding quickly.

Abstract

Halal tourism has attracted a lot of attention in contemporary tourism and hospitality research. However, only a few studies have attempted to understand the emerging process and challenges in practicing halal tourism in a specific geographic location. This study aimed to investigate the new, emerging halal tourism that has been taking place in Aceh, following the tsunami that struck it in 2004. The research was based on fieldwork conducted in 2016 and 2017 in Aceh, using interviews and focus group discussions with tour guides, tour agents, community members, and the local government. Additional online interviews were performed in 2020. The results suggest that the new niche of ‘halal tourism’ is driven not only by the market, but the community, as well. Moreover, the implementation of halal tourism under Aceh’s Sharia Law has been challenged by both internal and external factors. Internally, it is challenged by the risk of natural disasters, risks of political instability, and institutional managerial problems. Meanwhile, externally, practicing halal tourism is challenged by the misperceptions of Islam (Islamophobia) and the marketing label.

Abstract

Tourist destinations worldwide are periodically jeopardised by natural disaster events that threaten tourists’ safety; consequently, the tourism industry is impacted. Mass media has a role to communicate and warn the public about disaster. Media portrayal on disaster events is likely to contribute to the tourism industry recovery and resilience. However, media has played a role in sending a negative message to tourists, making them hesitate to visit the destination. Limited researches have focused on how the media frames disaster events, and how policy makers could intervene. Based on analysis of media coverage of the Surabaya terrorist attack in 2018 and Mt. Agung eruption in 2017, this paper looked at how media framed disaster events and its consequences to the tourism industry policy. A content analysis of mass media from both national and international newspapers of Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore were conducted. The research identified five different framings on the two disasters, including source of problems, impact, solution, responsibility, and adaptive versus maladaptive. Findings also highlights the limited policy response towards these potentially negative media portrayal. Based on these findings, partnership between media and the government should be fostered to encourage post-disaster recovery.
