Abstract

In 2024, sustainable tourism will become the main focus of the global tourism industry, especially in preserving marine nature that is vulnerable to environmental damage. Marine tourism, such as diving and snorkeling, is increasingly popular, but also poses a threat to marine ecosystems. These tourism activities have had serious impacts on coral reefs, fish populations, and seawater quality. Therefore, a collaborative strategy is needed between tourists and the industry to create a balanced positive impact. The tourism industry is required to introduce environmentally friendly tourism practices, while tourists need to be educated to be aware of the impact of their activities on the environment. This study aims to identify the role of tourists and industry in preserving the ocean through sustainable tourism practices in Indonesia. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to examine scientific studies and relevant practices in sustainable marine tourism management. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that collaboration between tourists, industry, and government can increase the effectiveness of marine conservation. On the other hand, there are challenges related to implementation costs, as well as public understanding of the importance of a healthy marine ecosystem. Therefore, increasing public awareness and strong policy support are important to ensure the sustainability of the tourism sector and the sustainability of the marine environment in Indonesia.

Abstract

Batu Karas Beach is a prominent marine tourism destination in Pangandaran, Indonesia, renowned for its surf-grade wave characteristics. However, these physical attributes harbor significant environmental risks, necessitating a robust safety management framework. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to evaluate the implementation of Occupational Safety, Health, and Security  as a fundamental instrument of destination resilience. The conceptual framework integrates spatial-temporal visitor dynamics with hazard identification, specifically targeting dominant risk factors such as rip currents and breaking waves. The research further assesses the functional effectiveness of the Life Guard (Balawista) in incident mitigation and emergency response. Analysis reveals a critical discrepancy between field officer ratios and visitor fluctuations during peak seasons. While a supervisory structure exists, this operational imbalance increases maritime vulnerability and potential accident rates. The current safety infrastructure remains largely traditional, lacking integration with modern preventive systems. Research findings recommend integrating digital technologies such as QR-Code-based information systems and modernizing safety equipment to strengthen Health Safety and Security standards. Enhancing personnel capacity through international certification and preventive education for tourists are crucial prerequisites for establishing Batu Karas Beach as a safe, globally competitive, and sustainable destination.
