Abstract

This study examines the influence of risk management, visitor satisfaction, and destination accessibility on the reputation of Bali’s tourism industry. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 140 respondents and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The findings reveal that visitor satisfaction is the most influential factor, followed by destination accessibility and risk management. Visitor satisfaction significantly enhances the reputation by providing high-quality experiences and fostering positive word-of-mouth. Destination accessibility is vital in ensuring seamless travel and inclusivity, while risk management builds trust through effective safety measures. The study underscores the need for an integrated approach that balances these factors to sustain Bali's position as a leading global tourist destination. Recommendations for policymakers and industry stakeholders are provided to enhance reputation through strategic interventions.

Abstract

This study explores trends and contributions in cultural tourism research within the context of the creative economy through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in Scopus. Using VOSviewer, the study identifies key themes, influential authors, and collaborative networks, revealing the central role of cultural tourism as a nexus for integrating cultural preservation, creativity, and economic growth. The analysis highlights sustainability, innovation, and digital transformation as emerging focal points in the field. Prominent researchers such as Greg Richards and theories like the experience economy are pivotal to the discourse, while international collaborations involving countries like Indonesia, the United States, and China demonstrate the global significance of cultural tourism research. Despite its growth, gaps in cross-regional representation, particularly in Africa and South America, highlight areas for future exploration. This study provides actionable insights for advancing cultural tourism strategies to align with sustainability goals and foster inclusive economic development.
