Abstract

In the post-pandemic era, slow tourism has transitioned from a niche alternative to a key paradigm for sustainable destination regeneration. However, its rapid scholarly growth has produced conceptual fragmentation and inconsistent theoretical grounding. This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 31 Scopus-indexed, open-access articles (2020–2025) following PRISMA 2020 guidelines to consolidate theoretical developments, behavioural determinants, and managerial strategies. A thematic analysis reveals a paradigmatic shift from temporal deceleration toward psychological restoration and mindful engagement. The emergence of slomads—long-stay digital nomads seeking autonomy and well-being—defines the behavioural landscape of post-pandemic travel. Evidence also demonstrates a “smart–slow nexus”, where technologies such as e-mobility, GIS-based spatial design, and AI visualization support sustainable access to peripheral regions. The analysis further exposes a governance paradox in the Cittàslow movement between authentic degrowth values and instrumental place marketing. Synthesising these insights, the paper proposes a Regenerative Slow Tourism Framework integrating technological innovation, psychological well-being, and co-created authenticity as drivers of resilient, value-oriented visitor economies. The framework advances theoretical consolidation and offers actionable guidance for policymakers and destination managers pursuing post-growth, regenerative tourism futures.

Abstract

This study systematically reviews the evolution of food innovation in the hospitality and tourism industry, specifically focusing on the intersection of local food heritage, health-conscious consumption, and sustainability. It aims to examine how food innovation serves as a strategic dynamic capability that influences tourist acceptance and contributes to destination resilience in the post-pandemic context. Following the PRISMA guidelines, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using 34 peer-reviewed articles retrieved from the Scopus database (2020–2025). A qualitative thematic synthesis was employed to categorize innovation drivers, implementation mechanisms, and strategic outcomes, analyzed through the theoretical lens of Dynamic Capabilities and Destination Resilience. The findings reveal a paradigm shift from industrial efficiency toward authenticity-oriented and sustainability-driven practices. Two dominant drivers emerge: the revitalization of indigenous food systems and the demand for functional/health-oriented foods. Crucially, the review identifies that these innovations are operationalized through Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs), which function as mediating capabilities that transform local resources into competitive advantages. This review contributes to hospitality scholarship by proposing a novel "Sustainable Gastronomy Resilience" framework. Unlike previous product-centric studies, this research theoretically positions food innovation as a core strategic asset for regional stability. The findings offer actionable insights for destination managers and practitioners to strengthen resilience through supply chain integration and culinary storytelling.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to formulate and validate an integrated event tourism package planning model for the SAMOTA National Strategic Tourism Area (KSPN) in Sumbawa, Indonesia. It addresses the critical gap in existing destination management, where flagship events and natural attractions are often marketed in silos, limiting their economic impact and sustainability. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach utilizing the 4-D Model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). Data were collected through in-depth interviews with penta-helix stakeholders, including government officials, local communities, and cross-regional travel agencies (Lombok, Bali, and Makassar). The resulting model underwent expert validation to ensure feasibility and market relevance. Findings: The research produced a "Collaborative Event Tourism Planning Model" that effectively integrates the SAMOTA International Festival (SIF) with iconic destinations (Moyo Island, Saleh Bay, and Tambora). The findings demonstrate that cross-regional stakeholder collaboration—specifically involving travel agents in the co-creation process—is the primary driver for building market confidence and expanding distribution channels. The model yielded segmented tourism packages (2D1N, 3D2N, and Full Day) that successfully extended tourists' length of stay. Originality/value: This study contributes to the event tourism literature by providing a validated, visual planning framework that links event scheduling with destination product packaging. It offers a practical roadmap for Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) to transform sporadic events into sustainable tourism products through structured multi-stakeholder synergy.

Abstract

Post-pandemic tourism recovery necessitates a strategic pivot from arrival statistics to economic yield. This study investigates the micro-economic behaviour of tourists in Belitung, a burgeoning archipelagic destination in Indonesia, by juxtaposing the expenditure patterns of package tour participants against Free Independent Travelers (FITs). Utilising a cross-sectional survey of 399 respondents selected via purposive sampling, the research uncovers a significant expenditure gap. While domestic package tourists demonstrate higher spending stability, a striking paradox emerges within the international segment: independent travellers contribute nearly three times the direct economic yield (IDR 13.5 million) compared to their package-tour counterparts (IDR 5 million). The data reveal that while package tourism minimises leakage through prepaid structures, it limits local economic injection. Conversely, independent travellers exhibit high elasticity in discretionary spending, particularly in local transport and experiential services. These findings challenge the traditional reliance on mass-package models and advocate for a "high-value" strategy supported by digital payment infrastructure and experience-based product diversification.
