Abstract

Mangrove ecotourism in Tanjungpinang City is a very potential sector to support sustainable development, especially in preserving mangrove ecosystems and improving the welfare of local communities. The background of this study focuses on the importance of effective mangrove ecotourism management amidst various environmental threats, such as deforestation and lack of supporting infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of mangrove ecotourism management policies in Tanjungpinang and identify obstacles and opportunities that arise in the process. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through in-depth interviews, field observations, and analysis of related policy documents. This study also uses a policy analysis approach to evaluate the implementation of local government policies. The results of the study indicate that although there are policies that support mangrove ecotourism management, their implementation is not optimal. The main obstacles faced include low local community participation, lack of funding, and limited environmentally friendly tourism infrastructure. In addition, supervision of activities that damage the ecosystem, such as illegal logging, is still ineffective. The conclusion of this study is that mangrove ecotourism management in Tanjungpinang requires improvements in terms of community participation, adequate funding, and strengthening regulations and supervision. Collaborative efforts between government, communities and the private sector are key to success in creating sustainable ecotourism and providing economic and environmental benefits to local communities.

Abstract

Ecotourism has emerged as a key strategy for harmonizing environmental conservation with local economic development, particularly in biodiverse coastal regions. Mangrove forests, as critical ecological buffers and carbon sinks, have gained attention for their potential to support sustainable tourism models. This study investigates the dynamics of policy implementation for mangrove ecotourism in the coastal area of Tanjungpinang, Indonesia, using Grindle’s Policy Implementation Framework to analyze both policy content and implementation context. The research aims to evaluate how the local tourism policy specifically Regional Regulation No. 8 of 2021 is translated into action at the grassroots level. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, incorporating in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving various stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, tourism operators, and community representatives. Findings reveal that while the regulation outlines clear environmental and socio-economic goals, implementation is hindered by inter-agency fragmentation, centralized decision-making, limited infrastructure, and minimal community participation. Power asymmetries and bureaucratic misalignment further complicate the delivery of intended outcomes. Despite these obstacles, some benefits have emerged, such as increased awareness and pilot ecotourism initiatives. The study concludes that for mangrove ecotourism to achieve meaningful ecological and economic outcomes, a participatory governance model is essential. Strengthening institutional coordination, enhancing grassroots involvement, and securing diversified resources are critical to bridging the gap between policy vision and practical impact.
