Abstract

Sports tourism has become a rapidly growing trend in various countries, including Indonesia. Peramun Hill, which is located in Air Selumar Village, Sijuk District, Belitung Regency, has great potential to be developed as a sports tourism destination considering its natural beauty, biodiversity and supporting infrastructure. This research aims to identify the potential for sport tourism in Peramun Hill and formulate optimization strategies in its development to support the sustainability of tourism in this area. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study method, involving in-depth interviews, participant observation and literature study. The research results show that Peramun Hill has a landscape that supports various natural sports activities, such as hiking, rock climbing and mountain biking. Apart from that, community-based management and the use of digital technology in tourism provide added value for this destination. Recommended optimization strategies include improving trekking and hiking infrastructure, digital-based promotions, collaboration with influencers and travel agents, as well as organizing sustainable sporting events. The active participation of local communities and policy support from the government are also key factors in the successful development of sports tourism in Peramun Hill. With the right strategy, Peramun Hill has the potential to become a leading sports tourism destination that will not only increase the number of tourist visits, but also have a positive impact on the local economy and environmental conservation.

Abstract

Post-pandemic tourism recovery necessitates a strategic pivot from arrival statistics to economic yield. This study investigates the micro-economic behaviour of tourists in Belitung, a burgeoning archipelagic destination in Indonesia, by juxtaposing the expenditure patterns of package tour participants against Free Independent Travelers (FITs). Utilising a cross-sectional survey of 399 respondents selected via purposive sampling, the research uncovers a significant expenditure gap. While domestic package tourists demonstrate higher spending stability, a striking paradox emerges within the international segment: independent travellers contribute nearly three times the direct economic yield (IDR 13.5 million) compared to their package-tour counterparts (IDR 5 million). The data reveal that while package tourism minimises leakage through prepaid structures, it limits local economic injection. Conversely, independent travellers exhibit high elasticity in discretionary spending, particularly in local transport and experiential services. These findings challenge the traditional reliance on mass-package models and advocate for a "high-value" strategy supported by digital payment infrastructure and experience-based product diversification.
