Abstract

Tourism collaboration is to create a series of tourism programs or activities that are more diverse, attractive, and sustainable to attract tourists to visit an area or tourist destination on an ongoing basis. The purpose of the Hexahelix collaborative research in the development of halal tourism in Indonesia is to examine the potential for halal tourism in Indonesia and how this potential can be optimally and sustainably developed through collaboration between Government, community, academia, private sector, law and the mass media which have their respective roles. The method of using post-positivism qualitative research sees reality as a construction continuously developed through subjective experiences, so post-positivism qualitative research emphasizes in-depth interpretation and understanding related to phenomena. Logical analysis can identify errors or weaknesses in an argument or ensure that the conclusions drawn from the argument are correct and consistent. The results show that the hexahelix collaboration significantly contributes to accelerating halal tourism development in Indonesia. In this study, it was also found that the development of halal tourism in Indonesia has enormous potential as a type of tourism trending and experiencing rapid growth in Indonesia and the world. Thus, it is hoped that the development of halal tourism in Indonesia can be successful and provide greater benefits for economic development and people's welfare.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the depreciation of the Indonesian rupiah and the increase in international tourist arrivals through a PESTEL analysis of Indonesia’s tourism competitiveness. The issue is important because currency depreciation may improve destination affordability for foreign tourists, yet its contribution to competitiveness depends on broader political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal conditions. Using a qualitative descriptive design, this article relies entirely on secondary data, including exchange rate information, tourism statistics, government documents, institutional reports, and scholarly literature. The analysis shows that rupiah depreciation can strengthen Indonesia’s price competitiveness by increasing foreign tourists’ purchasing power and making tourism services relatively cheaper. However, this advantage is conditional because tourism businesses may also face higher operational costs, especially when they depend on imported inputs, foreign-denominated expenses, and international digital platforms. The findings further indicate that tourist arrivals are shaped by digital visibility, online reviews, destination image, policy coordination, community readiness, environmental carrying capacity, and regulatory certainty. Therefore, rupiah depreciation should not be treated as an independent driver of tourism growth, but as a temporary opportunity that must be supported by integrated destination governance, sustainable management, digital promotion, and local economic participation. The study concludes that Indonesia’s tourism competitiveness will improve only if short-term affordability is transformed into long-term, inclusive, and sustainable destination value for future national tourism development.

Kegiatan ini menyimpulkan bahwa edukasi pelestarian mampu menjadi instrumen penting dalam membangun kesadaran kolektif masyarakat. Pelestarian Pulau Penyengat perlu dilakukan secara berkelanjutan melalui kerja sama pemerintah, akademisi, masyarakat lokal, pelaku wisata, komunitas budaya, dan generasi muda agar kawasan ini tetap menjadi simbol sejarah, identitas Melayu, dan destinasi wisata budaya yang berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This study examines community development based on communication governance in supporting sustainable coastal and marine resource utilization in Bintan Regency, Indonesia. Bintan’s coastal and marine areas possess significant ecological and socio-economic value, particularly through coral reef, seagrass, and mangrove ecosystems that sustain fisheries, tourism, and local livelihoods. However, these resources face increasing pressure from mass tourism, plastic pollution, destructive fishing practices, weak environmental compliance, and climate change impacts. The purpose of this study is to analyze how communication governance, institutional coordination, and community participation contribute to strengthening sustainable marine resource management. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, this study reviews literature, policy documents, and previous research through the Socio-Ecological Systems framework, supported by SWOT analysis to identify internal and external factors influencing governance performance. The findings show that Bintan Regency has a relatively strong regulatory and institutional foundation, including the establishment of Marine Protected Areas and the implementation of national policy instruments such as Presidential Regulation No. 120 of 2020. Nevertheless, governance effectiveness remains constrained by limited institutional capacity, inadequate funding, fragmented stakeholder communication, and weak law enforcement. The study argues that sustainable coastal and marine resource utilization requires adaptive, participatory, and communication-oriented governance that connects local government, coastal communities, tourism actors, and conservation institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the paradiplomacy capacity of the Kepulauan Riau Provincial Government in optimizing regional economic connectivity. In the context of globalization and regional integration, paradiplomacy has become a crucial instrument for subnational governments to expand cross-border cooperation and enhance economic competitiveness. The main issue addressed concerns the extent to which the institutional, regulatory, and resource capacities of the Riau Islands Government are able to support subregional economic diplomacy within the framework of the Indonesia–Malaysia–Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT). This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, utilizing policy document analysis, in-depth interviews, and secondary data from relevant institutions. The findings indicate that paradiplomacy practices in the Riau Islands have significantly contributed to increasing foreign investment, exports, and strengthening cross-border logistics networks. Furthermore, collaboration among local governments and the private sector has fostered the development of halal tourism, the creative economy, and the digitalization of regional connectivity. However, challenges remain, particularly in legal harmonization and inter-agency coordination. This study concludes that enhancing institutional capacity and human resources is essential for the success of subnational paradiplomacy in strengthening regional economic connectivity and achieving inclusive and sustainable growth.

Abstract

As Indonesia intensifies its commitment to evidence-based governance and performance accountability through frameworks like SAKIP, there is growing urgency to evaluate the effectiveness of key institutions such as BP Batam. Positioned as the governing body for a strategic Free Trade Zone, BP Batam is tasked with managing licensing, investment, and asset optimization amidst complex regulatory and environmental challenges. This study investigates BP Batam’s governance performance in 2024, which, despite notable successes in investment realization and public satisfaction, calls for a deeper strategic analysis to assess the sustainability and inclusivity of these outcomes. The purpose of this research is to assess institutional strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats using a SWOT framework in order to provide actionable recommendations for policy refinement and governance enhancement. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study analyzes secondary data, including the 2024 LAKIP report and related policy documents, selected through purposive sampling. Data were interpreted using thematic content analysis and SWOT matrix coding. The findings indicate that while BP Batam has surpassed its economic targets, it faces internal challenges such as uneven service quality, limited digital integration, and low stakeholder participation. Externally, overlapping jurisdiction and ecological vulnerabilities pose strategic risks. The conclusion emphasizes the need for digital governance acceleration, stakeholder-centered engagement, and regulatory synchronization to transform BP Batam into a model of inclusive and resilient governance.
