Abstract

Purpose: Given the high unemployment rate, this study investigates the empirical significance of Entrepreneurship Education (EE) in shaping the entrepreneurial intentions of Zimbabwean graduates, addressing a critical policy gap regarding the efficacy of the local EE curriculum. Research Methodology: The interpretivist philosophy served as the foundation for collecting qualitative data using a descriptive multi-case study method, along with thematic analysis techniques in the Midlands Province. A total of 20 participants, selected through purposeful and snowball sampling, took part in face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions. Results: The findings show that exposure to entrepreneurship education plays a significant and positive role in boosting graduates' ambitions and inclination towards self-employment. EE content, particularly when focused on opportunity identification and skill leveraging, acted as a catalytic agent, encouraging graduates to re-evaluate and pursue entrepreneurial paths based on their existing vocational and general skills. Conclusions: This study conclusively demonstrates that entrepreneurship education significantly influences and boosts the entrepreneurial intentions and self-employment inclination of unemployed graduates in Zimbabwe by enabling them to leverage their existing skills. This suggests that a well-designed EE curriculum can be a powerful, proactive policy tool for shifting graduates’ career mindsets. Limitations: Qualitative data from one university and polytechnic in Gweru restrict generalizability to other Zimbabwean cities or institutions. Contributions: To combat graduate unemployment, this study provides a framework for Zimbabwean officials to strengthen the national entrepreneurship curriculum. The study highlights the necessity of prioritising hands-on experience and opportunity recognition over theoretical learning, thereby contributing to the broader goal of fostering a sustainable, local entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between financial literacy and entrepreneurial orientation among university students in Khulna City, Bangladesh. Methodology: This quantitative study collected primary data from 250 students across public and private universities in Khulna, Bangladesh, using stratified and convenience sampling. A self-administered questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using correlation and regression techniques. Results: The results indicate a significant positive correlation of .807 between financial literacy and entrepreneurial orientation. The regression analysis shows that financial literacy has 35.5% explanatory power on entrepreneurial orientation. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that financial literacy significantly enhances students’ entrepreneurial orientation, explaining 35.5% of its variance. The findings highlight the importance of integrating financial education into higher education to support entrepreneurship and economic growth. Limitations: The primary limitation of this study is its sample size, with most respondents from Khulna University. Data collection was conducted online, and broader participation required more time and resources. Contributions: Overall, the findings suggest that improving university students' financial literacy can play a pivotal role in strengthening their entrepreneurial orientation, contributing to a more dynamic and resilient economy.

Abstract

Purpose: The study explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving anti-poaching strategies within Zimbabwe's wildlife tourism sector, evaluating its effectiveness, operational impact, and broader implications for sustainable conservation and tourism governance. Methodology: The study adopted an Interpretative Paradigm, which advocates a qualitative approach.  The researcher interviewed 15 participants to evaluate the impact and scalability of AI-driven interventions in Zimbabwe. The study drew participants from Zimbabwe's game reserves. The study thematically analyzed the data to develop themes and codes.

In addition, the results showed that AI helps anticipate poaching attempts, allowing for proactive measures.  Furthermore, the results show that AI tools, such as the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART), empower local rangers and communities to take ownership of conservation. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhances anti-poaching efforts in Zimbabwe by improving detection, response times, and proactive measures. AI tools like SMART empower local rangers, improving conservation management. The findings emphasize AI’s potential in wildlife protection and call for policy and infrastructure support. Limitations: The study adopted an interpretative paradigm using a qualitative approach, resulting in a small sample size that may affect the generalizability of the results. In addition, limited access to reliable data on poaching incidents and AI implementation affects the accuracy of the study. Contributions: This study provides insights into the conservation of wild animals by leveraging artificial intelligence.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes tourists’ perceptions of service quality in four-star hotels on Bangka Island, Indonesia, using Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) of online reviews to identify key service aspects and sentiment patterns for evidence-based hospitality management. Research Methodology: A quantitative text-based research design employing text-mining techniques was applied. A total of 5,576 online customer reviews were collected from Google Reviews and analyzed using a lexicon-based aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) approach. The analysis involved text preprocessing, aspect extraction through keyword mapping, and sentiment polarity classification into positive, neutral, and negative categories across multiple service dimensions, including staff service, cleanliness, room comfort, food and beverages, location, and price. Results: The analytical results demonstrate predominantly positive tourist perceptions of all service aspects of four-star hotels on Bangka Island. Staff service, cleanliness, and location achieved the highest levels of positive sentiment, underscoring their importance in shaping customer satisfaction. In contrast, price and food and beverage services exhibit relatively higher proportions of negative sentiments, reflecting concerns related to perceived value for money and dining experiences. Conclusions: Overall, four-star hotels on Bangka Island largely meet tourists’ service quality expectations; however, improvements in pricing strategies and food and beverage offerings are necessary to enhance perceived customer value. Limitations: The analysis was limited by the use of a lexicon-based sentiment approach and reliance on a single online review platform. Contributions: This study reinforces the applicability of lexicon-based ABSA for analyzing informal hospitality reviews and provides practical, data-driven insights for hotel managers and destination stakeholders.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify the characteristics of local products, examine key constraints in their development, and formulate an integrated model for coastal tourism–based local product development to support sustainable local economic development in the Cemara Beach Area, West Lombok. Research Methodology: A qualitative case study approach was used. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and documentation involving MSME actors, tourism managers, community groups and government representatives. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis with triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. Results: The findings revealed that local products consist of both tangible goods (seafood-based culinary and processed marine products) and intangible services (mangrove and religious tourism, camping grounds, and homestays). These products contribute to income generation, employment, and livelihood diversification in the region. However, their development is constrained by limited production capacity, low innovation, weak quality standardization and packaging, restricted market access, limited digital marketing adoption and weak stakeholder coordination. Conclusions: Local products play a strategic role in shaping tourism experiences and destination identities. Sustainable development requires an integrated approach involving MSME empowerment, strengthened destination governance, coastal ecosystem conservation, and integrated marketing strategies. Limitations: This study is limited to a single case study area and relies on qualitative methods, which may limit the generalizability and quantitative measurement of impacts. Contributions: This study contributes to the literature by proposing an integrative, destination-level development model applicable to coastal tourism in developing countries.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) of the Sundarbans to support sustainable tourism development. It identifies the key barriers and prospects influencing sustainability in this ecologically sensitive region. Research Methodology: This qualitative study in Shyamnagar Upazila, Satkhira, Bangladesh, used 25 in-depth interviews with farmers, fishermen, honey collectors, and boat operators to collect data. Data from official reports and documents were collected. The thematic analysis and SWOT framework identified key challenges and opportunities for sustainable tourism development in the region. Results: Most respondents were middle-aged male fishers with low income and education, indicating high vulnerability. Strengths include rich biodiversity and eco-tourism potential, while weaknesses involve poverty, lack of awareness, and poor infrastructure. Opportunities lie in eco-tourism and community-based tourism, while threats include climate change and illegal resource use. Conclusions: This study concludes that sustainable tourism in Shyamnagar depends on integrated governance, community participation, and conservation-oriented planning. These findings contribute to a better understanding of conservation–livelihood linkages and provide practical insights for policymakers and other stakeholders. Limitations: This study was limited by its small sample size and qualitative scope. Future research should use larger samples and mixed-methods. Policies should focus on awareness, infrastructure, and community management. Contributions: This study provides empirical evidence of conservation-tourism linkages in Shyamnagar Upazila, Sundarbans, emphasizing community participation and livelihoods. This study offers practical insights for policymakers, conservationists, and development actors to promote sustainable tourism and heritage management.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the influence of the PayLater feature on consumer decisions when purchasing travel packages. This study addresses the limited empirical research on BNPL usage in the tourism sector and adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explain consumer behavior regarding digital payment adoption. Research Methodology: A quantitative associative approach was employed using a sample of 100 active users of Online Travel Agent (OTA) platforms in Jakarta, Bandung, Purwakarta, and Cirebon. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling based on their experience with PayLater services. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption testing, and simple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS software to evaluate the effect of PayLater usage on purchasing decisions. Results: The Paylater feature positively and significantly affected purchasing decisions. The availability of instant credit access and the perceived benefits of fintech services enhance consumer confidence and reduce financial and psychological barriers to spending. The regression results show that PayLater usage explains 46.8% of the variation in purchasing decisions. Conclusions: PayLater facilitates the transformation of purchase intention into actual transactions, especially for high-value travel products, thereby strengthening digital consumer behavior. Limitations: This study focused only on Indonesian OTA users and did not incorporate psychological or social influencing factors. Contributions: The findings provide practical insights for OTA providers, marketers, and policymakers to improve digital payment systems, enhance consumer trust, and develop more effective marketing strategies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the potential of culture-based edutourism as a learning medium in formal education to support local culture preservation amid globalization. Research Methodology: This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with explorative properties, conducted specifically in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara. Data were collected through comprehensive literature studies and in-depth interviews with educators, tourism business actors, and other relevant parties. Results: The results show that culture-based edutourism has the potential to be an effective learning medium through direct-field experience. Integration can be achieved through curriculum synchronization, active teacher roles and strategic collaboration with tourism operators. However, implementing this concept faces challenges, such as limited stakeholder understanding, educational institutional readiness, and government policy support. Conclusions: This study concludes that culture-based edutourism has strategic opportunities as a contextual learning approach that supports sustainable local culture preservation. Limitations: The limitation of this study is its initial conceptual nature, requiring further empirical testing, such as classroom action research, to measure effectiveness. Contributions: This research provides a model for integrating the formal curriculum with the tourism industry for educators, the government, and tour operators in national tradition preservation efforts.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of User Generated Content (UGC) on increasing visitor numbers at the Lampung Community Hub, particularly in the context of digital participatory communication and Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM). Research Methodology: This study employs a quantitative approach to examine the influence of UGC on visitor growth. Data were collected through surveys of Community Hub visitors and analyzed using statistical techniques to measure the relationships between UGC exposure, trust formation, visit intention, and visitor sustainability. Results: The findings indicate that UGC significantly contributes to increasing visitor numbers through five primary mechanisms: (1) enhanced digital exposure and visibility of the community hub, (2) increased public trust through authentic user experiences, (3) collective validation as social proof, (4) strengthened visit intention, and (5) promotion of repeat visits or sustainability. Conclusions: UGC functions as a highly persuasive digital communication instrument that effectively enhances visitor occupancy and fosters loyalty at community hubs. Its participatory nature strengthens credibility and engagement within the digital ecosystem. Limitations: This study focused on a single Community Hub in Lampung, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other regions or organizational contexts. Additionally, this study primarily examined digital interaction variables without exploring offline influencing factors. Contributions: This study contributes to the literature on digital communication and community engagement by demonstrating the strategic role of UGC in increasing visitor occupancy and loyalty. It also provides practical implications for Community Hub managers to integrate structured UGC management strategies to optimize public engagement and sustainability.
