Abstract

The emergence of a new tourism destination typically requires the creation of an institutional framework to regulate, manage, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the area. However, establishing such institutions can be complex. In this context, the institutionalization process is influenced by dynamic interactions among diverse stakeholders, which can significantly affect the success or failure of the new institution. This study examines stakeholder interactions in forming a Tourism Awareness Group, which serves as a mechanism for community-based tourism management in Kelor Tourism Village. The research particularly underscores the strategic efforts of initiators to Influence and engage various stakeholders throughout the institutionalization process. This descriptive qualitative study, utilizing a discursive institutionalism framework, analyses how ideas and discourses serve as crucial instruments in the emergence of innovative institutions. Ten informants were selected based on their involvement in the Tourism Awareness Group. The findings indicate that the initiators proposed key concepts, including economic development through tourism, community-based tourism governance, establishing a Tourism Awareness Group, and incentives for community participation, initially developed through coordinative discourse with influential local actors. These concepts were subsequently disseminated to the broader community via communicative discourse. The success of Kelor Tourism Village was further bolstered by the initiators' ability to communicate effectively, negotiate competing interests, and mobilize social and human capital. This study presents a theoretical contribution to tourism village management from an institutional perspective. In addition, this research provides valuable empirical insights into similar tourism destinations, facilitating the optimization of community-based management practices.

Abstract

This study examines the process of strengthening community capacity in tourism accommodation management within the context of homestay development in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone, Indonesia. As a government-driven tourism destination, Mandalika has experienced rapid infrastructure expansion, creating new opportunities for local communities to participate in tourism through homestay (Sarhunta) programs. However, the effectiveness of capacity-building initiatives in supporting sustainable community-based accommodation remains unclear. This research adopts a qualitative case study approach, supported by surveys, observations, and document analysis, to evaluate the effectiveness of training programs and identify key challenges faced by homestay operators. The findings reveal that capacity-building initiatives have been moderately effective in improving technical skills, particularly in housekeeping and basic hospitality services. However, significant gaps persist in managerial, adaptive, and strategic competencies, including financial management, digital marketing, and market responsiveness. The study identifies a critical capacity utilization gap, where knowledge gained through training is not effectively translated into practice. Furthermore, four interrelated dimensions of community capacity are proposed: technical, managerial, adaptive, and collaborative capacity. The results suggest that current capacity-building approaches remain fragmented and insufficient to support long-term business sustainability. This study contributes to the literature by offering an integrated framework for community capacity in tourism accommodation and highlighting the need for a shift from short-term training toward continuous, system-based capacity development. The findings provide practical implications for policymakers and stakeholders in designing more effective and inclusive tourism development strategies.
