Abstract

Nowadays, the segmentation of solo travel in the tourism market is growing faster than other categories of travel, particularly among those classified as Generation Z. However, few studies have examined solitary travel experiences and motivation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine Generation Z's motivations for solo travel. This research employs a quantitative survey method with a Likert scale and a quantitative approach. In this investigation, 30 young people participated as respondents. The technique applied to data analysis is descriptive statistical analysis. According to the findings of this study, the majority of Generation Z solo travelers are female, work as students, and have traveled solo 1-2 times. The results of the study also indicate that the primary tourist motivation for solo travel is to enjoy the destination's tourist attractions. Furthermore, they consider various factors such as value for money, looking for an inspiration, interaction with local citizens, healing purposes, the influence of social media, and self-actualization. This study's findings can be adopted by destination managers to develop recommendations for responding to the necessities of Generation Z tourists, the largest proportion of tourists at this time.

Abstract

Culinary is intricately connected to the creation of processed foods and beverages that are characteristic of a certain region. In Indonesia, a diverse range of gastronomic delights with distinct flavors may be found from Sabang to Merauke. Nevertheless, the swift advancement of technology in the culinary domain has led to novel breakthroughs in the creation of food and drink items, which have the potential to alter the presence of traditional local cuisine. In order to prevent the marginalization of local cuisine, several strategies are implemented to promote it, one of which is organizing a festival. Every year, Yogyakarta has a Pasar Kangen Festival. This festival has the capacity to "revive" or "showcase" the presence of local cuisine and enhance the economic status of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This study employed a quantitative descriptive-analytic approach, utilizing Google Forms questionnaires to collect data from a sample size of 50 respondents. This study aims to assess the perception of individuals who have attended the Yogyakarta Pasar Kangen Festival regarding local food. The study population consisted of tourists who were visiting Yogyakarta, whereas the sample specifically included visitors who had visited the Pasar Kangen Festival. The findings of this survey suggest a prevailing public interest in visiting the Pasar Kangen as a whole. Moreover, the primary factors that attract visitors are the diverse culinary offerings and the distinctive local cuisine. Their primary incentive for visiting the Pasar Kangen is self-driven and external factors from the gratification they derive from the experience. The beauty and main draw of the Pasar Kangen Festival lies in its diverse and distinctive gastronomic offerings. The research aims to elucidate the theoretical implications by examining tourists' impression of festival events. The practical implication is to offer valuable information to the event manager and destination in order to enhance their focus on the diverse and distinctive food offerings at the festival, ultimately leading to increased tourist satisfaction.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the culinary preferences of tourists in each generation, namely generation X, generation Y, and generation Z in Yogyakarta. Each generation has significant characteristic differences, as well as their culinary preferences. Generation X likes the practical nature of making consecutive visits to one restaurant that they think suits their taste. Generation Y tends to choose classy food with a fairly expensive price range which is in accordance with those who are at the peak of their careers. Generation Z will choose food by placing an order on an online application because of the high amount of using gadgets. To find out more about culinary preferences, a demographic segment analysis was carried out in each generation using quantitative research on data collection through library research and questionnaire surveys. Therefore, this research is expected to provide understanding and knowledge to readers regarding the culinary preferences that tourists are interested in each generation group, namely Y Generation, and Z Generation.
