Abstract

Kawruh Jiwa Ki Ageng Suryomentaram is a local based psychotherapy originally from Yogyakarta, which is based on human feelings principally for self-introspection, hence Kawruh Jiwa means knowledge of feeling (raos). This study aims to identify whether Kawruh Jiwa Psychotherapy has the potential to become a wellness tourism attraction and if so, what potential does Kawruh Jiwa Psychotherapy have. This research is a qualitative descriptive study and data collection is gathered through interviews, observation, and literature study in 2021. The potential for wellness tourism in Kawruh Jiwa Psychotherapy is identified based on seven wellness tourism variables in the Extended Wellness Model (Mueller and Kaufmann, 2001), and supporting data is obtained through students' perceptions of mental health issues. The results obtained from this study indicate that Kawruh Jiwa Psychotherapy has the potential to be developed as a new wellness tourism attraction in Indonesia based on local wisdom. This study revealed that from a total of 7 variables in the wellness tourism dimension, Kawruh Jiwa Psychotherapy supports of 6 variables: Mind (mental activity, education), Body (physical fitness), Self-Responsibility, Relaxation, Social Contacts, and Environmental Sensitivity. Its potential to be one of the wellness tourism attractions in Yogyakarta surely needs support from stakeholders, especially the local government to make Dusun Balong, a location where it takes place will have more proper tourism attractions, accessibility, amenities, and ancillary (4A aspects).

Abstract

The Glastonbury Festival, renowned as one of the greatest music festivals globally, has come under environmental scrutiny due to its substantial expansion. While the festival undeniably benefits the economy, it also has adverse effects by contributing to the carbon footprint. This phenomenon is a result of congregating a large number of individuals in a single location concurrently for an extended period of time. The carbon footprint generated is substantial, and when combined with the garbage generated, it can result in significant environmental harm. Recognizing this concern, the organizer has implemented a comprehensive strategy to reduce and control its carbon emissions. Hence, this study evaluated the efficacy of various approaches by employing the framework of energy consumption, trash generation, and transportation emissions (Fredline et al., 2005). The outcome demonstrates that Glastonbury Festival's endeavor to achieve environmental sustainability underscores its dedication to diminishing its carbon emissions while safeguarding its core identity. Glastonbury has implemented novel energy solutions, such as solar and wind power, biodiesel, and recycled vegetable oil waste, to reduce emissions and include sustainable energy sources. Furthermore, waste management has effectively diminished the usage of disposable plastic bottles, decreased trash through recycling efforts, and promoted the practice of participants taking their possessions with them. Lastly, the transportation emissions, which account for the largest proportion of the total emissions, still require a solution, since they remain the primary concern of the event. The Glastonbury Festival's sustainability could be improved by the implementation of additional measures, educational initiatives, and partnerships with environmental organizations.

Abstract

A prevalent challenge encountered by small islands pertains to accessibility. Nevertheless, numerous ostensibly isolated islands attract a substantial number of tourists. This article examines the relationship between accessibility and tourism development on small islands to understand the two better. Qualitative data collection methods were utilized for this study, including in-depth interviews, the collection of pertinent secondary data, and field observations. Following analysis, the collected data were presented in a comparative descriptive fashion. A discussion of the island approach (islands and archipelagos) is undertaken to comprehend the interconnections between minor islands and other locations within the larger region. Field research indicates that despite possessing the aesthetic appeal of beaches and sea, many small islands still need to exploit their tourism potential fully. This is primarily due to the exorbitant transportation expenses for domestic visitors and the need for adequate tourism infrastructure, including resorts and hotels of international caliber catering to affluent-class tourists (middle and above). Conversely, despite being classified as remote islands, the Riau Archipelago maintains strong diplomatic relations with neighboring nations. It can attract international visitors for cultural tourism, beach activities, and scuba diving. Small islands may benefit from a strategy targeting affluent classes and foreign tourists. In order to develop the tourist experience on small islands by expectations, it is necessary to enhance tourism infrastructure and services for tourists and tourism investors as a result of targeting the tourist segment.

Abstract

Srikeminut Tourist Village is among the tourist communities adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pokdarwis is among the entities tasked with managing the tourism industry during the pandemic. By applying the theory of tourism disaster crisis management offered by Ritchie (2004), this research endeavors to ascertain the approach adopted by the Pokdarwis of Srikeminut Tourism Village in handling the tourism industry amidst the Covid-19 pandemic crisis that transpired between 2020 and 2022. Therefore, this research focuses on two primary topics: firstly, the categorization of the Pokdarwis strategy about the stages of crisis management, and secondly, the identification of the Pokdarwis strategy in the recovery of the tourism sector. The findings indicated that Pokdarwis resorted to a sequence of strategic implementations in light of the pandemic rather than engaging in preventative measures and strategic planning. Implementing health protocols, creating virtual events, limiting the number of visits, collaborating with internal and external parties, suspending several tourist activities, and promoting tourist attractions via Instagram are all methods to achieve this objective. Pokdarwis' approach to tourism sector management has facilitated the gradual recovery of Srikeminut Tourist Village from the pandemic crisis. By 2022, it will be possible to classify the Srikeminut Tourist Village as having reached a stage in its crisis anatomy known as the long term (recovery), wherein all forms of tourism activities can be resumed as before, and the village community will have acclimated to the new normalcy. To attain this position, Pokdarwis engaged in a succession of partnerships with internal and external entities, implemented a crisis communication strategy, and provided tourism managers and Pokdarwis personnel with a variety of training on sector management.

Abstract

Camping has recently gained popularity among tourists. However, research on camping in the Indonesian tourism setting needs to be more extensive, particularly experiential. Sermo Reservoir is a popular camping destination in Kulon Progo Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study aims to assess tourists’ camping experiences at Sermo Reservoir using Kim et al.’s (2012) Memorable Tourism Experience (MTE) scale. The study included 106 participants recruited through direct surveys of campers who had spent at least one night at Sermo Reservoir in June 2023. A reliability test was performed to determine the internal consistency of the translated scale across all samples. Descriptive quantitative analysis was also performed to determine the level of agreement among Sermo Reservoir camping tourists on each item and dimension of the MTE. The findings revealed that Sermo Reservoir camping tourists agreed on all MTE dimensions at a high to very high level. The characteristics of hedonism and refreshment received a “very high” level of agreement, followed by local culture, novelty, participation, meaningfulness, and knowledge in the “high” agreement category. The study limitations include the adaptation of the scale, which needs to be addressed and investigated further in the local context, and the inclusion of limited acceptance response alternatives. Additional limitations include the short research time, sample procedures, and data collecting, which prevent it from representing MTE in a larger population context.

Abstract

The Sleman Tourism Office has unveiled Sleman Regency as a sports tourism destination, with one of its offerings being the Sleman Temple Run (STR). The aim of STR is to showcase the potential of Sleman Regency and bolster tourism activities. This study seeks to understand the motivation and behavior of sports tourists participating in the Sleman Temple Run event in 2022. The research methodology involves descriptive quantitative analysis, utilizing both primary and secondary data gathered through questionnaire distribution and literature review. The analysis process includes data examination, grouping, tabulation, and analysis. The findings present participant profiles, an analysis of the motivations of STR 2022 participants, both in general and specific to sports tourism, and the tourism activities they engaged in. Firstly, tourist profiles are delineated based on geographical and demographic aspects. Secondly, the highest general motivation among participants is physiological, while specific motivation related to sports tourism is physical fitness. Thirdly, participant activities predominantly involve trail running, with 62.07% opting for this activity, while 37.93% engage in other activities. From these findings, it can be inferred that while the Sleman Temple Run contributes to increased tourist visitation in Yogyakarta City, particularly in Sleman Regency, the impact may not be significant.

Abstract

As the name might suggest, a hybrid event is a mix of live and virtual events. Starting its popularity in the middle of 2020, it emerged as a response and survival strategy for the creative community and the tourism industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in urban areas. This form of adaptation was acknowledged several months after the virus outbreaks. Following the title, hybrid events during the pandemic may be seen merely as a non-permanent solution or a novelty for further development. This research believes that the transformation influences four fundamental aspects—technology, institution, people, and environment. Those aspects are essential in shaping a new form in the global era. Based on the ideas of transformation in the globalization era and tourist experience theory, the discussion focused on the people involved in the events industry, how the hybrid events have been carried out to date, and how they relate to urban tourism. This research aims to discover the existence of hybrid events for urban tourism years after the COVID-19 pandemic. The results highlight how hybrid events during the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impact the tourist movement and directly affect the tourism industry. Unlike the conventional event, the participant did not gain the utmost tourism experience in the urban destination. Following that, some patterns have been found in the hybrid event. Those patterns indicate the existence and hybrid event’s potential for further development.

Abstract

Many studies have been conducted to investigate the philosophical issues of ecotourism, but none has explicitly addressed the components of ecotourism's ontology, epistemology, and axiology. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine the philosophical foundations of ecotourism from the perspectives of ontology, epistemology, and axiology. A literature review was employed in this article. According to analysis, the ontological basis of ecotourism, which emerged in the mid-1980s as a manifestation of alternative tourism and as a ‘face’ of sustainable tourism, is intimately linked to 'nature,' which is constituted by the generative power of a transcendent principle of unity, being, and goodness. In this sense, ecotourism philosophy centers on the notion that unique sites for ecotourism purposes are considered 'paradises'. Tourists and inhabitants of these unique places should engage in ecotourism with consciousness; that is, the place should be conserved intact, as originally discovered. The epistemology of ecotourism is constructed as an abstraction of a relationship that cannot be separated between humans and the environment in the context of tourism. From an axiological standpoint, ecotourism is based on environmental values and ethics that should be included in the tourism industry to foster harmony between humans and nature as a good existence.

Abstract

Along with the development of tourism in Yogyakarta, governments have created programs that support regional tourism icons, one of which is by creating city bus tours. Kundha Kabudayan DIY is one of them, in order to introduce the history and culture of Yogyakarta, Jogja Heritage Track bus tour program was created.

Using a questionnaire as a research instrument distributed to 100 Jogja Heritage Track tourists. The results of the quantitative descriptive analysis indicate that tourists have experienced the "very good" category during their Jogja Heritage Track journey across all seven variables of the bus travel experience.

Abstract

'Delleng Degak' is a tourist destination in Sibagindar Village, Pakpak Bharat, North Sumatra, where a commodity forest for the camphor tree species was established in 2022. The camphor wood forest is being promoted as an ecotourism destination that is educational, historical, and scientific, in addition to its rare population. Nevertheless, the status of a forest area presents a challenge in terms of access to tourist locations, in addition to the absence of capacity and ability to manage tourist areas. The objective of this research is to ascertain the community's level of sensitivity in addressing opportunities arising from the forest area utilization agenda through tourism development initiatives. A qualitative approach method with descriptive data analysis techniques is employed in this research. The findings of this investigation indicate that the absence of community-based tourism management capabilities serves as an impediment to the advancement of ecotourism development concepts. The community is presented with new challenges as a result of the presence of camphor forests in forest areas. Consequently, forest area management initiatives are implemented in conjunction with community-based ecotourism development programs. Indirectly, the development of ecotourism that prioritizes community involvement is a critical component of the preservation of the socio-cultural and ecological values that have been passed down by their ancestors. Ultimately, this presented a dilemma for the residents of Lebbuh Marga Manik Perlambuken, Sibagindar Village, who were apprehensive about the potential loss of their ancestral heritage. Particularly in regard to the camphor forests that were previously a source of income for the community.
