Abstract

English communication skills play a crucial role in shaping service quality and international tourist satisfaction, yet empirical evidence on the linguistic readiness of tourism workers in the Gayo Highlands remains limited. This study examines their English proficiency, with emphasis on speaking and listening as the core competencies required for frontline service interactions. Using a quantitative descriptive design, data were collected from 34 tourism workers and analyzed through descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and Pearson correlation. The results show that listening and speaking exhibit low to moderate proficiency levels, with both identified as the most challenging skills. The chi-square analysis indicated no significant association between profession and perceived difficulty (χ² = 6.918, p = 0.733), suggesting uniform challenges across occupational groups. A weak negative correlation between work experience and overall proficiency (r = –0.25) further suggests that experience alone does not enhance communicative competence. These findings highlight systemic gaps in English for Tourism preparedness and underscore the need for targeted, needs-based, and simulation-driven training to support service quality and strengthen the competitiveness of rural destinations such as the Gayo Highlands.

Abstract

This study examines domestic visitor expenditure and behavioural intentions during the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, focusing on short-term economic impacts and long-term event support. The primary data was collected through a survey of 401 domestic respondents, including athletes, officials, journalists, spectators, and local committees in Jakarta, West Java and Palembang. The research analyses spending levels, expenditure composition, and satisfaction with event aspects such as facilities, transportation, accommodation, security, and information access. Results indicate substantial variation in spending across respondent categories, with national athletes recording the highest average expenditure, while spectators largely spent on food, beverages, and souvenirs. Demographic factors, including age, gender, and event location, also influenced total spending. Despite satisfaction with sports venues and security, respondents reported notable concerns regarding transportation, access to information, and telecommunications. National pride was high, although support for hosting future mega-events was evenly divided, suggesting mixed perceptions of long-term benefits. The findings highlight the role of domestic tourism in mega-sport events and provide practical implications for event management, especially in improving visitor information systems and mobility services. This study contributes to the growing literature on sports tourism in emerging economies by addressing domestic spending determinants and behavioural intentions toward future event hosting.

Abstract

Unplanned tourist spaces often emerge from everyday community use rather than formal planning. This study examines the spatial transformation and tourism attractiveness of Embung A ITERA, a campus water reservoir that has organically developed into a local recreational destination. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through six days of field observation, interviews with 15 informants, and documentation, and analyzed using the 4A framework (Attraction, Accessibility, Amenities, Ancillary Services). Quantitative observations show high average daily visitation (≈185 visitors/day), with the highest peak in the afternoon (111 visitors/hour), indicating strong community reliance on the site for exercise and leisure. The findings address research gaps regarding (1) unplanned tourism emerging from routine spatial practices, (2) the transformation of conservation infrastructure into recreational destinations, and (3) the limited integration of spatial–ecological–social perspectives in campus tourism studies. This study introduces Organic Campus Tourism, highlighting how eco-infrastructure within academic environments can evolve into multifunctional tourism spaces through community participation and spatial adaptation. The research contributes by expanding the 4A framework into eco-infrastructure contexts and offering practical guidance for managing multifunctional campus open spaces through inclusive design and sustainable visitor management.

Abstract

Street food in Indonesia is a major attraction for both domestic and international visitors in Indonesia. Street food has also become a regional highlight in many ASEAN countries, as demonstrated by the growing interest among researchers in studying the street food scene of the region. For this reason, understanding the factors that motivate consumers’ purchasing decisions is crucial to further developing and strengthening Indonesia’s street food gastronomy ecosystem. This study aims to explore the factors that influence gastronomy consumers’ intentions to revisit street food in Indonesia, focusing on Jakarta’s street food scene. The research sample consists of 218 Indonesian gastronomic customers, via an online marketing research firm from across geographical provinces. Multiple linear regression analysis reveals that food quality ( b=0.406 ,a<.05 ) and service quality( b=0.431 , a<.05 )  are significant drivers for visitors’ repeat purchases of street food in Jakarta. In contrast, factors such as hygiene (as a risk) ( b= 0.063, a>.05  ) and price (as a motivator) ( b= 0.023, a>.05) were not found to significantly influence consumers’ decisions to repurchase street food in Jakarta. The study provides practical implications for tourism stakeholders in Indonesia and offers recommendations for future research.
