Abstract

The development of social media, especially Instagram, has driven a paradigm shift in global tourism practices, from physical experiences to digitally curated visual experiences. One manifestation of this change is the emergence of the phenomenon of Instagrammable tourism, a tourism trend based on visual aesthetics that encourages tourists to choose destinations not only because of cultural or natural values, but also because of their shareable visual appeal. This study aims to systematically and critically examine the literature that discusses destination visualization in the context of social media, especially Instagram, with a focus on the construction of meaning, aesthetic curation, and its implications for tourist behavior and destination branding strategies. Using a literature study approach, this article identifies six main themes: the conceptualization of Instagrammable tourism, visual representation of destinations, digital aesthetics and visual culture, the influence of content on tourist intentions and loyalty, social media-based branding strategies, and the ethical and ecological impacts of visual dominance. The results of the study show that destination visualization not only shapes tourist perceptions but also forms new norms in tourism consumption and space production. On the other hand, excessive aestheticization also presents serious challenges such as the overcommodification of local culture, loss of authenticity, and ecological pressures due to digital overtourism. This study suggests the need for a sustainable, contextual and ethical visual approach in social media-based tourism development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of physical environment, service quality, and facilities on customer satisfaction at Doulos Phos The Ship Hotel, a heritage-themed accommodation shaped like a historic ship located in the Lagoi tourism area, Bintan. A quantitative approach was applied, using purposive sampling of 32 hotel guests who met the research criteria. The research instrument was validated and proven reliable (r-count > 0.349 and Cronbach Alpha > 0.80). The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that all three independent variables significantly influenced customer satisfaction, with the physical environment emerging as the most dominant factor (B = 0.352; Sig. = 0.003). These findings support the disconfirmation of expectations theory and are consistent with previous studies highlighting the role of physical atmosphere in shaping customer experience. Managerial implications include enhancing the hotel’s visual and historical elements, delivering empathetic and culturally aware service training, and improving digital facility innovations and public space comfort. This research contributes to the management of thematic accommodations by emphasizing multisensory experiences as a key driver of customer satisfaction in the hospitality industry.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of service quality and facilities on revisit intention through customer satisfaction at Natuna Dive Resort, Riau Islands. The research employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 155 respondents who were resort guests between January and December 2024. Instrument feasibility was assessed using validity and reliability tests, while data were analysed through multiple linear regression, including both partial and simultaneous significance tests. The findings reveal that both service quality and facilities significantly and positively affect guests’ revisit intention, with service quality emerging as the more dominant factor. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.602 indicates that 60.2% of the variance in revisit intention can be explained by the two independent variables, while the remaining percentage is influenced by external factors not covered in this model. This research highlights the crucial role of improving service quality and managing facilities sustainably to enhance guest loyalty in the hospitality sector—particularly in tourism destinations that offer natural and cultural uniqueness, such as Natuna Dive Resort. The results of this study may serve as a practical reference for resort managers in developing consumer experience-based marketing and service improvement strategies.

Abstract

Homestay is one of the alternative forms of accommodation that has been rapidly developing in community-based tourism areas. As part of sustainable tourism development strategies, homestays are expected not only to provide lodging but also to serve as a medium for interaction between tourists and local communities. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of homestay business standards based on the Regulation of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy Number 9 of 2014 in Pahawang Island Tourism Village, Punduh Pidada Subdistrict, Pesawaran Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods. Data were collected through field observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and questionnaires involving eleven homestay units located in Dusun 3 Jelarangan. The results indicate that while most homestays meet the basic accommodation needs of tourists, they have not fully complied with national business standards. Two homestays were categorized as "good," while the remaining nine were classified as "adequate." Product aspects such as the availability of bedrooms and kitchens are generally fulfilled; however, safety facilities and supporting infrastructure remain inadequate. Service and management aspects are the main weaknesses, marked by the absence of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), administrative documentation, and training for homestay managers. The main barriers to standard implementation include limited resources, lack of understanding of regulations, and insufficient institutional support. In conclusion, homestays in Pahawang island hold great potential to be developed as competitive tourist accommodations. However, continuous assistance, managerial training, and integrated institutional support are needed to achieve optimal service quality and strengthen destination competitiveness.

Abstract

Wellness tourism based on local communities in Yogyakarta has significant potential for development through social media marketing, but it is often hindered by limited digital skills and resources. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of social media in promoting wellness tourism by local communities and to formulate optimal strategies to enhance destination visibility. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes content from 10 Instagram and TikTok accounts managed by local communities in Yogyakarta (Sleman, Bantul, and Yogyakarta city) over the period of November 2024–April 2025, complemented by interviews with five account managers. The results show that interactive content (6.5%) and visual content (5.2%) generate higher engagement rates compared to narrative content (3.8%). Peak engagement occurred in December 2024 and April 2025, coinciding with holiday periods. Effective strategies include regular posting, collaboration with local influencers, and highlighting local culture such as jamu therapy. The main challenges are limited editing skills and promotional budgets. This study recommends increasing interactive content, producing high-quality visuals, and providing digital skills training to support the economic sustainability of local communities through wellness tourism.

Abstract

Six years after the 2018 earthquake and tsunami, the tourism sector in the Palu Bay area has yet to fully recover, largely due to the absence of disaster risk–based planning. Collaboration among diverse societal elements has become essential to ensuring the sustainability of the tourism industry in this post-disaster region. The concept of collaborative governance emphasizes voluntary cooperation, horizontal cross-sectoral relationships, and the active engagement of multiple public actors in tangible social initiatives. This study adopts an interpretive qualitative approach, aiming to deeply understand social phenomena without manipulation, with data gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory and non-participatory observation, and document analysis. The analysis follows a thematic approach to identify patterns emerging from stakeholders’ perspectives. The research explores the lived experiences of communities in developing the Palu Bay tourism industry before and after the disaster, while identifying collaborative strategies to restore the sector. Findings indicate that post-disaster tourism recovery requires synergy among all societal layers—particularly religious communities—by embedding local wisdom values as the foundation for developing religious tourism. This local wisdom serves not only as a cultural asset but also as a continuous reminder that Palu City lies within the disaster-prone Pacific Ring of Fire.
