Abstract

People are traveling more these days to attend religious and cultural events. Religious sites clearly attract non-religious tourists in the same way that sacred religious sites attract religious people. Den Bach Ma, a historical temple in the heart of Hanoi, is always crowded with tourists. Foreign tourists from various socio-cultural backgrounds are also adding to the site’s vibrancy. This study focuses on the motivations of tourists who visit Den Bach Ma in Hanoi, as well as an anthropological analysis of tourism. In addition, the researcher employs concepts related to religious tourism. In this study, the qualitative method was used, and the data presented in this study was gathered through observation and interviews with informants. According to the study’s findings, both domestic and foreign tourists engage in a wide range of activities and motivations. As a result of this discovery, the researcher divided the tourists into two groups: (1) religious tourists and (2) secular tourists. However, the researchers discovered that the motivations are extremely complex in reality. It cannot be explained rigidly because, in addition to the previously mentioned categories, there are also categories in which religious tourists’ activities and motivations overlap or mix.

Abstract

Tourism has become an important part of the social and economic development of small islands. The distinct differences and peculiarities of small islands have significantly raised awareness of sustainable tourism practices in small islands. In this case, the study seeks to determine the extent to which tourism sustainability on small islands is threatened by climate change. Small islands, and thus tourism, are vulnerable to rising average annual temperatures, changes in precipitation, sea-level rise, and extreme events such as El Nino-Southern Oscillation, hurricanes, and flooding. The Cayman Islands, Mallorca, and the Galápagos Islands were chosen as representatives of the Caribbean Archipelago, Balearic Archipelago, and Pacific Archipelago, respectively, as references to this issue. This study is based on secondary data and employs a qualitative approach. Based on previous research, the findings show that climate change has primarily affected small islands in these three case studies in terms of environmental sustainability, which then creates challenges in terms of economic and social sustainability. Thus, climate change and sustainable tourism can be viewed as interconnected issues that must be addressed in small islands.

Abstract

COVID-19 has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The rapid and uncontrollable transmission of COVID-19 has a significant impact on the tourism industry. The hotel occupancy rate in Yogyakarta’s Sleman Regency has dropped dramatically to an average of 10%. The majority of the hotels in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta that are affected by COVID-19 are small and medium-sized. The purpose of this study is to investigate the risk perceptions of small and medium-sized hotel managers regarding the impact of COVID-19 and their response to it. This study employs a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with three small and medium-sized hotel managers in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, via online video conferencing or video calls. This study finds that each hotel manager’s risk perception differs, which influences decision-making in responding to danger. Hotel managers’ risk perception is also useful for developing risk communication skills in hotel employees. The study’s findings also suggest that implementing a health protocol in each hotel to reduce the risk of COVID-19 could provide hotel managers with peace of min.

Abstract

The research aims to investigate the transformation process required within an Indonesian village in order to overcome huge waste management problems by enhancing the ecotourism sector, as well as to analyze the innovations introduced to improve the environmental quality standards of the local inhabitants. It presents some findings from a field study in Sukunan Village, Yogyakarta (Indonesia), used as a case study to delve deeper into several issues related to ecotourism development via innovative waste management systems. To investigate the ecotourism phenomenon in this context, the research employs a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with several key informants who are currently residing in the village. This study demonstrates that the development of ecotourism through waste management has a positive impact on the village’s social, economic, and environmental life, reevaluating a sub-urban context within an area that is unfortunately known for being one of the most polluted in the world.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial distribution of hotels along the Philosophical Axis1 area of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, as well as their orientation development in terms of physical visualization. DIY – a popular nickname for the Special Region of Yogyakarta – is one of Indonesia’s culturally based tourist destinations. There is a Philosophical Axis in the spatial framework that is characterized by buildings and places that are in a straight line and serve as landmarks, namely Tugu, Kraton Yogyakarta, and Panggung Krapyak. Today, all three structures serve as tourist attractions. These circumstances lead to an increase in the sharing of tourism facilities in the surrounding buildings, one of which is represented by the hotel’s existence. Hotel is pivotal to note because it is classified as one type of amenity that supported the running of tourism activities, and its existence can be seen and placed at a specific location, so that it is identical to the spatial context. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative research approach. It collects primary data through observation and mapping, and secondary data through literature reviews related to the research’s focus and scope. According to the findings of this study, there are more hotels in the core zone of the Philosophical Axis area in terms of quantity. Meanwhile, the orientation of hotel establishments located at the Philosophical Axis area in terms of producing a physical visual image is largely the same, regardless of whether they are international or national hotel chains; or whether they are located on the Philosophical Axis’ main lane or not. In the case of independent hotels, only those in the main lane made significant efforts to physically synchronize with the image of the Philosophical Axis area.

Abstract

The goal of this research is to determine the level of satisfaction of tourists who visited Budapest as a cultural heritage tourism destination in terms of experience quality, which includes interaction quality, physical environment quality, access quality, and outcome quality. In this study, the holiday satisfaction (HOLSAT) model is used to examine tourist satisfaction levels by comparing the mean of expectation and experience from each attribute. In total, 131 on-line questioners’ responses from international tourists who visited Budapest between October 24 and November 17, 2019 were collected. The findings show that there are seven attributes indicating tourist satisfaction: staff knowledge, language competence, preservation, sign & information, ease of access, public transportation, and safety & security. Technology, traffic, and crowdedness are three indicators of tourist dissatisfaction. Furthermore, service, staff interaction, exhibition display, facilities, cleanliness, site accessibility, unpleasant behaviour of other visitors, and learning experience have a less significant difference between expectation and experience

Abstract

Ecotourism has been identified as a potential source of tourism development, particularly in conservation areas such as national parks. Ecotourism principles should be implemented in order to achieve the goals of sustainable tourism. One of the ecotourism principles for minimizing the negative impacts of tourism activities is waste disposal methods. Baluran National Park is a conservation site with the primary goal of preserving its ecosystem while also being accessible to tourists. As one of the potential ecotourism sites, the purpose of this study was to use qualitative research to investigate the practices of implementing ecotourism principles on waste disposal methods in order to reduce the negative impact caused by tourism activity in Baluran National Park. The observation will concentrate on how the six waste disposal methods (Ceballos-Lascurain, 1996) are implemented in the main tourist areas of Baluran National Park, which are Batangan, Bekol, and Bama. The results show that four waste disposal methods, namely reducing waste with non-toxic materials, reusing materials on-site or off-site recycling, efficient recycling by sorting materials, and material control, have not been implemented in Baluran National Park. Meanwhile, composting or anaerobically digesting biodegradable wastes and purchasing materials from local people are two methods that have been applied, but not thoroughly.

Abstract

Since its inception in 2010, the Sri Gethuk Waterfall Tourism Area has seen a steady increase in the number of tourists who visit. Prior to 2015, the highest number of tourism visits recorded was 140.315. This increasing sum has compelled the tourism site’s management to build supporting facilities in this tourism site. As these tourism-supporting facilities have been built on an annual basis, they have gradually transformed a land that was previously a forest and rainfed rice land. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the transformation of land use on the Sri Gethuk tourism site. It makes use of chronological or time series imagery data to learn about land use in 1999, 2007, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2018. Additionally, the digitized data is analyzed with overlay techniques. The overlay analysis has obtained a new area as a result of the intersection from two changing of land use areas. This research discovers that there was a drastic change on two interval years, which were on 2011 until 2013 as the large change of the land reached 0,631664 Ha. Furthermore, the large change of the land on 2013 until 2015 reached 0,517924 Ha. Along the escalation of tourism visits, the supporting tourism facilities had been built on this tourism site on 2011 until 2015, for instance: parking lots, prayer room, stalls, toilet, pathway, hall, gazebo, and concreting the dock area.

Abstract

This research critically evaluates the current planning and implementation of ecotourism development in the Indonesian part of the Heart of Borneo. In 2012, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono declared that Indonesia would pay more attention to forest preservation rather than exploitation. However, anthropogenic activities continue damaging the Heart of Borneo. Ecotourism development is viewed as a solution to mitigate the area’s environmental and socio-economic issues; however, development remains in the planning phase. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the planning of ecotourism in the Heart of Borneo and the extent development aligns with ‘best practice’. Taking a constructionist approach that utilised secondary document analysis, this research analysed 36 documents published by several non-governmental and governmental institutions, academic journals and online media in Indonesia. Several gaps were identified between the socio-environmental policies and the rhetoric produced by the government and ministries, highlighting an inconsistency on the governmental level in conducting sustainable tourism development. Local involvement also needs to be improved through partnerships to achieve the Heart of Borneo’s ecotourism development goals.
