Abstract

Tourism is an open sector, characterized by low barriers to entry and influenced by various political, social, environmental, and technological trends. The concept of governance in the tourism industry has gained significant attention in recent years, as it plays a crucial role in ensuring the sustainable development and competitiveness of tourist destinations. This study presents the findings of an exploratory research study on a good governance model for Vanaprastha Tourism. The research revealed that Vanaprastha Tourism encompasses seven risk factors as a destination concept. These include nature engagement, the experience of silence and contemplation, engagement with traditional practices, a holistic approach to well-being, sustainability and environmental consciousness, cultural immersion and authentic experiences, community empowerment, and socio-economic impact. Assessing the seven factors and overall visitor perception is essential for effective governance in Vanaprastha Tourism. The framework includes eight assessment elements, with 30 indicators and 49 sub-indicators, offering a comprehensive evaluation of various aspects such as environmental sustainability, community engagement, and visitor satisfaction. Vanaprastha Tourism should advocate for responsible tourism practices and foster stakeholder collaboration to address critical challenges. This will allow Vanaprastha Tourism to emerge as a model for sustainable and responsible tourism and safeguard its distinctive cultural and environmental heritage.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the potential of Bali’s Binyan Forest as a prototype for Vanaprastha Tourism—a holistic model rooted in Balinese Hindu philosophy that integrates ecotourism, wellness, and spiritual reflection. Despite its proximity to the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark and its rich biodiversity, the forest remains underdeveloped as a community-led tourism destination. To explore this potential, the research employed a participatory photovoice methodology, engaging local youth to capture photographs and narratives that reflect the forest’s ecological, spiritual, and cultural significance. Data were analyzed thematically, combining visual and narrative evidence to highlight community perspectives. The findings reveal that Binyan Forest embodies key assets—such as canopy shade, sacred springs, gentle slopes, and tranquil spaces—that correspond to the seven core elements of Vanaprastha Tourism. Community accounts further emphasized the forest’s capacity for healing, contemplation, and gentle exercise, while also identifying management challenges including waste and trail erosion. The study’s originality lies in linking the Vanaprastha framework with participatory action research, offering a transferable methodology for regenerative destination development. It demonstrates how meaningful tourism experiences can emerge from ecological preservation, cultural respect, and community voice rather than from constructed attractions or heavy infrastructure.
