Abstract

This paper explores Pulau Lengkang, an island near Batam City, known for its natural beauty and cultural heritage. It examines the impact of overcrowding on its aspiration to become a prominent tourism heritage destination. The main goal is to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats Pulau Lengkang faces in its development into a renowned tourist hub, with a focus on the challenges of overcrowding and the potential for sustainable tourism. The study employs a qualitative approach, relying on thorough literature review to understand the island's unique cultural and historical aspects and the implications of increasing visitor numbers on its heritage and environment. The findings reveal that while Pulau Lengkang boasts significant cultural and historical appeal, overcrowding threatens to strain its infrastructure and dilute its heritage. However, opportunities for sustainable tourism and cultural preservation present viable pathways to enhance its tourism appeal and support local community well-being. The study suggests that adopting eco-tourism and cultural engagement strategies can help safeguard Pulau Lengkang's heritage and promote sustainable development.

Abstract

Komodo National Park (KNP), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, faces significant environmental challenges due to increasing tourism, climate change, and resource management issues. This preliminary study employs the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) to estimate visitors' willingness to pay (WTP) for adaptive management initiatives aimed at preserving the park's unique biodiversity and ecological health. Conducted in Labuan Bajo, the main gateway to KNP, the study involved 50 respondents who were surveyed on their WTP for improved environmental quality and management. The binary logistic regression analysis revealed that higher income levels and gender significantly influence WTP, with higher income individuals and males being more likely to contribute financially. Marital status showed a negative association with WTP, suggesting that married individuals may have financial constraints. The study highlights the importance of understanding sociodemographic factors to design effective funding strategies for conservation. The findings underscore the need for targeted communication and engagement strategies to increase financial support for adaptive management. These insights will inform policy and management strategies to ensure the long-term sustainability of KNP.
