Abstract

This article was written with the purpose of investigating the cross-cultural communication barriers experienced by Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA) for Vocational Students 2022 awardees at Phoenix Academy during their time studying in Perth, Australia, as well as their solutions to overcome said barriers. Aligned with the research’s objectives and subjects, the method used in conducting this research is the qualitative method. The writer conducted a series of in-depth interviews with 14 (fourteen) IISMA for Vocational Students 2022 awardees at Phoenix Academy. The writer found the six main barriers they had been subjected to during their stay based on the theory by Kiss (2005): different communication styles, different attitudes towards conflicts, different approaches to completing tasks, different decision-making styles, different attitudes towards disclosure, and different approaches to knowing. The writer concluded that their strategies to overcome each barrier varied according to the awardees’ personal approach and causes. Thorough analysis of the data was performed by dissecting the awardees’ experiences, interpreting their opinions, and correlating them with the relevant theory. It is aimed for this article to be able to aid the future batches of IISMA awardees or recipients of other international programs.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the tourism value of Temam Waterfall in Lubuklinggau from an environmental and economic perspective. Temam Waterfall has excellent potential as a natural tourist attraction, but improper development can affect ecological sustainability and the sustainability of its financial benefits. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of field observations, interviews with local stakeholders, and literature studies related to sustainable tourism. The study results show that Temam Waterfall has a solid natural attraction with the potential to attract domestic and foreign tourists. The findings show that the waterfall area is still relatively well maintained from an environmental perspective. However, some places must be handled to reduce the risk of ecosystem damage due to tourism activities. From an economic perspective, the potential of Temam Waterfall to increase local community income through tourism has begun to be seen, especially in the form of selling MSME products and providing tourism services. However, the sustainability of these economic benefits requires careful planning, especially in visitor management and infrastructure improvements. This study recommends the implementation of sustainable tourism by paying attention to environmental conservation and community empowerment. Collaboration between local governments, tourism managers, and the community is needed to develop Temam Waterfall as a leading destination without sacrificing its ecological aspects. Strengthening promotions and improving accessibility are also recommended to expand tourist attractions.
