Abstract

Tourism is a key sector in Bali's economy, with industry growth influenced by various factors, including the presence of tourism students. This research aims to analyze the correlation between the number of tourism students and the level of tourist visits and room occupancy in Bali's tourist destinations. The method used is secondary data analysis from various relevant sources, including tourism statistics, higher education data, and hospitality industry reports. The results show that the number of tourists is the most influential variable on room occupancy rates, whereas the number of students does not show a significant effect on either occupancy or the number of tourists. These findings emphasize that in the context of destination management like Bali, tourism activities remain the main driver of the accommodation industry, not educational activities. This research provides important insights for strengthening sustainable tourism strategies while still considering the synergy between the education sector and the tourism industry

Abstract

Cultural tourism in Bali faces increasing challenges of commodification that risk reducing local traditions to market-oriented attractions. This article examines international tourists’ perceptions and behaviors toward cultural authenticity in Mepantigan, a traditional Balinese martial art that integrates physical interaction, philosophical values, and cultural expression. The study aims to understand how participatory cultural activities shape tourists’ interpretations of authenticity. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, using participatory observation, semi-structured interviews and documentation. The collected data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of perception and behavior. The findings reveal that direct involvement in Mepantigan fosters a strong sense of cultural authenticity, as tourists experience local values through embodied participation rather than passive observation. The interaction between physical engagement, philosophical explanation, and reflective experience enhances tourists’ appreciation of Balinese culture. This study contributes to cultural tourism research by demonstrating that authenticity is dynamically constructed through participatory experiences, offering practical insights for managing sustainable and meaningful cultural tourism in Bali.
