Abstract

This study aims to examine how limited system access impacts employee work efficiency in the Customer Experience Department of Discova travel agency. Along with the increasing demand for fast and precise customer service, limited access to systems TourPlan and other supporting platforms is a significant obstacle in daily operations. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, field observations, literature studies, and documentation. The results showed that technical constraints such as log in limitations, non-user-friendly systems, and slow system performance, directly reduce productivity and customer service quality. In addition, non-technical factors such as team communication and work culture also affect overall efficiency. As a solution, optimization of the system infrastructure is required, including increased log in capacity, system integration, and periodic training for employees. This research provides strategic recommendations to improve work efficiency through technical improvements and human resource competency development in order to support superior service quality in the travel agency industry.

Abstract

This study addresses a specific gap in tourism-gentrification research: although Bali has been widely discussed as a cultural tourism destination, few studies comparatively trace how tourism-led gentrification operates across villages positioned at different stages of socio-spatial transformation. By examining Canggu, Ubud, and Sidemen as advanced, mature, and early/emergent cases, the study offers a staged comparative account of how displacement, cultural adaptation, and resilience develop over time. Using a qualitative multi-method design, the research combines nine months of ethnographic fieldwork, fifty semi-structured interviews with residents, entrepreneurs, customary leaders, and officials, and analysis of policy and land-use documents. Data were examined through reflexive thematic analysis. Findings show that cultural displacement occurs through commodification of ritual space, speculative conversion of agricultural and customary land, and changing measures of community success and belonging. Communities respond through cultural bricolage, including ritual rescheduling, cooperative enterprises, and digital cultural representation. The theoretical contribution lies in reframing resilience as a finite and gradually depleted community resource rather than a stable attribute, while extending gentrification theory beyond class and property relations to include cosmological, customary, and identity-based forms of displacement. The study recommends early Cultural Impact Assessments, stronger adat and subak land protection, multi-stakeholder village tourism forums, and cultural entrepreneurship within vocational tourism education.

Abstract

Safety incidents during shore excursions can disrupt cruise itineraries and threaten tourist well-being. This study examines incident-related factors and tour guide preparedness at Company A, a destination management company operating in Bali. A qualitative descriptive design combined content analysis of 45 incident reports from 2025 with semi-structured interviews with 12 purposively selected guides who had handled or witnessed incidents. Data were organized using the 4M framework: man, machine, material, and method/management. Material factors accounted for 22 report classifications and 20 interview mentions, followed by man factors with 17 classifications and eight mentions. Machine factors appeared in six reports and no interview mentions. No method/management factors appeared in the frequency summary, although interview narratives identified communication and warning-sign weaknesses. Interview mentions were not treated as additional incidents. Guide preparedness involved safety knowledge, preventive briefings, first aid, and reporting, but access to formal training varied. The findings support coordinated improvements in destination infrastructure, risk communication, equipment checks, and recurring guide training. These priorities offer a context-specific basis for safer shore excursion operations rather than a causal estimate of incident risk.
