Abstract

Nglanggeran Tourism Village is an ecotourism destination located in Patuk, Gunungkidul, within the Special Region of Yogyakarta.  The objective of ecotourism development is to save the environment while enhancing the local economy.  In 2014, the influx of visitors to Nglanggeran Tourism Village surged, resulting in ecological harm due to insufficient environmental awareness among tourists.  In 2015, Pokdarwis aimed to decrease visitor numbers by raising ticket prices to attract tourists ready to pay more for a superior tourism experience.  This study seeks to investigate the motivations and behaviors of tourists in Nglanggeran Tourism Village and assess if these align with the ideals of ecotourism.  The research utilizes the motivation and behavior paradigm established by Anishchenko (2016), encompassing two dimensions: motivation aligned with ecotourism principles and personal motivation.  The study used a descriptive quantitative methodology with a total of 100 respondents as samples.  The findings reveal that visitors to Nglanggeran Tourism Village are influenced by both categories of motivation; still, personal motivation receives the highest rating at 4.14, surpassing motivation aligned with ecotourism principles, which scores 4.10.  Moreover, tourist behavior concerning the acquisition of local products and services, along with a preference for traveling in small groups, is predominantly influenced by personal motivations.  The propensity of tourists to purchase local products and services remains comparatively low

Abstract

This study examines the understanding and practice of healing in tourism activities in Yogyakarta, which is influenced by the social media platform TikTok. The phrase "healing" has gained popularity, frequently serving as a synonym for leisure and tourism, especially in the aftermath of COVID-19, as people pursue physical, mental, and emotional restoration. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, interviews were carried out with 10 TikTok users, aged 18-24, to examine their perceptions of healing and their practices related to it in the context of tourism. The data indicate that the notion of healing is comprehended in three primary dimensions: mental health recovery, tourism, and rejuvenation. The study emphasizes that social media, particularly TikTok, has transformed the concept of healing into a fusion of emotional recovery and tourism, rendering it a crucial element in travel decisions. Yogyakarta has been a preferred locale for rejuvenation owing to its natural and cultural allure. This research enhances the existing literature on healing tourism by demonstrating the impact of digital trends on travel behavior and offering insights into the future of healing as a wellness practice and marketing instrument within the tourism sector.

Abstract

The conservation and protected areas within the Essential Ecological Areas of the Mesangat-Suwi Wetlands are ecologically significant due to their high biodiversity, local community fishing resources, and habitat for endangered species. The distinctiveness of the Suwi Wetlands as a habitat for proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) and Crocodylus siamensis enhances the prospects for sustainable ecotourism through natural attractions.  This study references the evaluation of natural tourism attractions' potential and the carrying capacity of both biotic and abiotic environments.  Of the fourteen prospective variables evaluated, nine exhibit significant potential: natural attractions, market potential, surrounding circumstances, climate, accommodation, supporting infrastructure, security, area carrying capacity, and market share.  The Physical Carrying Capacity (PCC) for the maximum number of visitors is 80 individuals per day, whereas the Real Carrying Capacity (RCC) is 3 individuals per day.  The quantity of visitors is consistent with the condition of biophysical characteristics.  Wetlands of significant conservation significance must be safeguarded via sustainable ecotourism approaches.   Conservation initiatives beyond forested regions should focus on cultivating ecotourism potential to guarantee long-term environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Sustainable tourism is the most suitable concept to protect Indonesian realms and cultural diversity besides the tourist destination’s development. One of the websites that displays sustainable tourism is geoparkkebumen.id. This research aims to describe the verbal and visual modes on the homepage display of the website. It is qualitative research with purposive sampling in getting the data. The data is analyzed using Kress & van Leeuwen’s, Lamb’s, and Peirce’s theories. The result of the analysis shows that the website uses some figurative language as the verbal modes. Assonance appears as the most used figurative language. It is chosen to make the website more persuasive and memorable for the readers. Rhetorical question does not appear on the website. The website avoids using it to maintain clarity, objectivity, and an authoritative tone, ensuring readers get straightforward information. The analysis of visual mode reveals that images on the website contain high angle, eye-level angle, and oblique angle. These angles enhance visual storytelling, complementing verbal descriptions to engage readers effectively. Future researchers can involve different actual issues to enrich multimodal discourse analysis.

Abstract

Kebumen Geopark, recognized at the national level and aspiring to attain UNESCO Global Geopark (UGGp) status, possesses significant geological heritage and tourism potential. Its sustainable development requires the active involvement of multiple stakeholders, with youth playing a key role. This study analyzes the roles of the Kebumen Geopark Youth Forum (KGYF) in advancing the geopark’s progress toward UGGp status, where youth engagement is a crucial evaluation criterion. This study applies the role theory proposed by Ife and Tesoriero (2006), which categorizes roles into Facilitative, Educational, Representative, and Technical. This research collects data through interviews, field observations, and literature reviews. The findings demonstrate that KGYF effectively undertakes all four roles by supporting tourism communities, articulating public aspirations, sharing knowledge, and managing organizational functions. KGYF’s external contributions are evident in initiatives such as the Conservation Fair, the Geopark Goes to School program, geo-product development assistance, digital marketing support, and tourism promotion through various media platforms. The continuation and enhancement of these initiatives by current and future members are essential for sustaining the development of Kebumen Geopark and achieving its long-term objectives.
