Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the opportunities of the blue maritime economy in Bintan Island, particularly in Sebong Lagoi, by examining the intersections of ecotourism, conservation, carbon capture, and community-based economic empowerment. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach to examine the potential of mangrove ecosystems as both ecological and economic assets. The methodology includes field observation, document review of policy and regulatory frameworks, and analysis of secondary literature, using thematic categorization as the main analytical tool. The findings indicate that mangrove ecosystems in Bintan hold significant potential for eco-edu-tourism, fisheries sustainability, and community-based enterprises such as village-owned businesses (BUMDes). The analysis also highlights the role of mangroves as carbon sinks that can be linked to carbon markets, including IDX Carbon, offering pathways for sustainable financing. This study is limited to qualitative insights and exploratory observations in Sebong Lagoi, Bintan. Future research may consider comparative or quantitative approaches, including economic valuation of carbon sequestration and broader stakeholder analysis, to enhance generalizability. The results provide insights for practitioners and policymakers in designing integrated blue economy policies that align ecotourism, conservation, and carbon market opportunities with local economic empowerment. The paper contributes to understanding how blue maritime initiatives can foster inclusive growth, enhance community resilience, and promote global environmental stewardship through carbon capture and conservation awareness. This study offers a novel perspective by examining the convergence of blue economy practices, mangrove-based carbon capture, and community-driven development in Bintan Island, contributing to the discourse on sustainable maritime economies in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to quantitatively analyze the effect of the number of foreign tourist visits on the Regional Original Income (PAD) of the tourism sector in Batam City using 2025 data. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research method, namely research that aims to explain the causal relationship between independent and dependent variables through statistical hypothesis testing. The number of foreign tourist visits has a positive and significant effect on Regional Original Income (PAD) in the tourism sector in Batam City in 2025. Regression test results indicate that an increase in the number of foreign tourist visits statistically increases PAD revenue, particularly from hotel taxes, restaurant taxes, and tourism levies. The high coefficient of determination indicates that most of the variation in PAD in the tourism sector can be explained by changes in the number of foreign tourist visits, thus emphasizing the strategic role of the international tourism sector as a key pillar of regional revenue in Batam City. These findings support the economic theory of tourism and the tourism-led growth hypothesis, which states that increased tourist flows stimulate local economic activity and broaden the regional fiscal revenue base. Keywords: tourism sector, foreign countries, PAD, regional fiscal Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara kuantitatif pengaruh jumlah kunjungan wisman terhadap PAD sektor pariwisata di Kota Batam dengan menggunakan data tahun 2025. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian eksplanatori, yaitu penelitian yang bertujuan untuk menjelaskan hubungan sebab–akibat (causal relationship) antara variabel independen dan variabel dependen melalui pengujian hipotesis secara statistik. jumlah kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara (wisman) berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) sektor pariwisata di Kota Batam pada tahun 2025. Hasil uji regresi menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan jumlah kunjungan wisman secara statistik mampu meningkatkan penerimaan PAD, khususnya yang bersumber dari pajak hotel, pajak restoran, dan retribusi pariwisata. Nilai koefisien determinasi yang tinggi mengindikasikan bahwa sebagian besar variasi PAD sektor pariwisata dapat dijelaskan oleh perubahan jumlah kunjungan wisman, sehingga mempertegas peran strategis sektor pariwisata internasional sebagai salah satu pilar utama pendapatan daerah Kota Batam. Temuan ini memperkuat teori ekonomi pariwisata dan hipotesis pertumbuhan berbasis pariwisata (tourism-led growth), yang menyatakan bahwa peningkatan arus wisatawan mendorong aktivitas ekonomi lokal dan memperluas basis penerimaan fiskal daerah.
