Abstract

Glamping (glamorous camping) has emerged as a contemporary form of accommodation that combines the essence of outdoor camping with the comfort of modern facilities, offering tourists a distinctive experience of being close to nature without sacrificing luxury. In Indonesia, particularly in Kintamani, Bali, glamping has grown rapidly in line with increasing interest in nature-based tourism and unique travel experiences. Despite its popularity, studies that specifically address tourist motivation in the glamping context remain limited. This research aims to explore the motivations that drive tourists to choose the glamping experience in Kintamani through a qualitative approach. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation with tourists who had experienced glamping in Kintamani. Thematic analysis revealed two main categories of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivations include the desire to gain positive feelings, escape from daily routines, seek novelty, strengthen social relationships, and enhance social status. Extrinsic motivations are shaped by external factors such as natural beauty, promotional offers, invitations from friends or family, social media needs, and lifestyle trends. The findings highlight that glamping in Kintamani is not only perceived as an alternative form of accommodation but also as a lifestyle-driven tourism experience that blends personal well-being, social expression, and natural immersion. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of tourist behavior in experiential tourism and provide implications for glamping providers and destination managers to design more relevant and sustainable tourism strategies.

Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to examine the language attitudes of the Balikpapan community toward regional languages and to explore how these attitudes may influence regional identity and tourism development in the context of the new capital city (IKN) expansion. Method - A quantitative approach was employed, collecting survey data from 384 respondents with a 5% margin of error. Multiple factors influencing language attitudes—environmental, instructional (Indonesian as the language of instruction), family, media, and institutional factors—were analyzed using significance testing to determine their predictive effects. Findings - The results show that environmental factors (Sig. = 0.000) and media/institutional factors (Sig. = 0.029) exert significant positive effects on regional language attitudes. Conversely, the use of Indonesian as a language of instruction (Sig. = 0.012) has a significant negative effect. Family influence (Sig. = 0.533), although theoretically assumed to be the strongest factor, shows no significant impact in shaping respondents’ attitudes. Overall, the Balikpapan community demonstrates attitudes toward regional languages that could be strengthened through targeted interventions such as education-based initiatives, regional language promotion, enhanced family engagement, and the creation of language-friendly public spaces. Originality/Value - This study contributes novel empirical evidence on the sociolinguistic dynamics of a rapidly developing urban area located near the emerging national capital. It highlights how regional language attitudes intersect with cultural identity and tourism development, offering practical insights for policymakers seeking to preserve linguistic heritage while promoting culturally grounded tourism in the era of IKN development.
