Abstract

Tourism is a lucrative sector for a country looking to boost its economy. The tourism industry can generate state income in the form of foreign exchange, therefore this tourism industry must be considered if a country wants its economy to rise. One way that can be done to increase the competitiveness of the tourism industry is to carry out comprehensive supply chain management. In this study the type of descriptive research selected and its approach with a qualitative research approach. So that the research location and research site is the Mount Kelud Tourism Area, Kediri Regency. Through the results of interviews, observations, and surveys related to the focus of research to related parties, there were 5 informants as primary data sources which were determined by researchers with certain considerations, namely the Tourism and Culture Office of Kediri Regency, tourism managers, visitors, motorcycle taxi associations, and traders associations. The results show that Mount Kelud tourism has very good potential to be developed. The lack of coordination between the two parties, namely between the government and the manager to improve existing facilities, becomes a problem such as adding photo spots which are considered insufficient and also expanding the parking area which is a problem because it is considered not spacious enough to accommodate many vehicles when the holidays arrive. The products sold are also less varied, namely only pineapple products and their derivatives such as pineapple chips, pineapple juice, pineapple candy, and others. So that visitors are not satisfied with the products sold because the products are less varied.

Abstract

This article is about the analisis of the Pasatan Temple trekking in order to propose it as a tourist trekking. In fact, Politeknik Negeri Bali wishes to develop a program package for international students to discover the village of Pohsanten, Jembrana in Bali, Indonesia. This activity should provide an opportunity for international tourists to discover the west of Bali, which is poorly promoted in tourism. Indeed, there is an exceptional natural heritage (fauna, flora, waterfalls, mountains) but also an authentic cultural heritage through the discovery of the Pasatan temple. The research method mainly used to analyse this trekking is the qualitative method. Indeed, with more than 5 participants, an interview was carried out inquiring the 9 tourism attraction aspects. The aspects of a tourism attraction are based on the aspects on duration, timing, variety of tourist attraction, the strength of the attraction theme, product delivery (guide & component), food & beverage, transportation, organizing program package, and price. Hence, the research method will not only be qualitative but also quantitative to measure the satisfaction index. The results shows that participants are satisfied with the Pasatan temple trekking and that is possible to market this activity as a tourist attraction and offer it in the program package for international students. It is expected that the results of the study could assist the Pohsanten village in developing rural tourism and be used as a reference for tourist professionnals.

Abstract

Sustainable gastronomy has become an important lens for understanding how rural tourism can connect food heritage, local ingredients, community livelihoods, and more responsible forms of development. Yet, within many rural tourism villages, the everyday culinary practices that sustain local food systems often remain hidden behind destination branding and formal tourism planning. This study examines this overlooked dimension through the concept of the “glass kitchen”, a metaphor used to describe women’s culinary labour as highly visible in daily community life but structurally invisible within tourism governance and economic recognition. Based on fieldwork in Angseri and Tegaljadi, two rural tourism villages in Bali, this research adopts a qualitative exploratory approach involving semi-structured interviews, field observations, and focus group discussions with 45 participants engaged in food production, tourism coordination, village governance, and community-based culinary activities. Thematic analysis reveals three interconnected findings: the persistence of indigenous ingredients and household-based food production, the emergence of informal culinary innovation through everyday experimentation, and the gendered organisation of culinary labour within rural tourism systems. The findings show that culinary innovation often emerges gradually from domestic kitchens, inherited knowledge, seasonal resources, and adaptive practices rather than from formal enterprises. However, these contributions remain weakly integrated into tourism narratives and decision-making structures. By advancing the glass kitchen concept, this study contributes a gender-sensitive perspective to sustainable gastronomy and rural tourism studies, arguing that inclusive tourism development requires recognition of women’s everyday culinary labour as cultural heritage, social practice, and economic potential.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Bali's tourism industry necessitates innovative and sustainable culinary approaches, with “green dining” emerging as a key trend, particularly appealing to environmentally conscious Generation Z. However, a limited understanding of sustainability-based branding strategies among restaurant employees presents a challenge. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the green marketing mix (4Ps), explore the green dining experience, and examine the formation of customer loyalty at Paon Nirwana Restaurant. This study employed a phenomenological qualitative approach involving five purposively selected informants. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that Paon Nirwana effectively implements comprehensive green marketing strategies, including paper takeaway boxes, QR code menus, local suppliers, and eco-friendly design. Generation Z highly values the restaurant’s open concept, natural surroundings, and non-smoking environment, leading to positive dining experiences and minimal food waste. Customers actively share positive online reviews, which significantly contribute to customer retention. In practice, these findings confirm that value-based, affordable green strategies can be a competitive advantage for restaurants in developing destinations and support the implementation of green tourism without charging premium prices.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of Green Performance Management (GPM) on Employee Green Behaviour (EGB) and develops a model of GPM practices that enhance environmental performance at Mercure Bali Legian. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. Quantitative data were obtained through a survey of 85 employees, selected using purposive sampling, and analysed with Pearson correlation and simple linear regression using SPSS version 26. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between GPM and EGB, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.344 and a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.119, indicating that 11.9% of the variation in EGB can be attributed to GPM practices. Qualitative findings, supported by interview excerpts and FGD validation, revealed that green initiatives remain concentrated at the managerial level with limited individual accountability. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with department heads and staff, observations, and validated through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with the management team. Findings highlighted that while GPM practices such as environmental goal setting, green KPIs, waste management, and sustainable procurement were implemented, employee behavioural consistency remained limited due to weak accountability and inconsistent training. The study concludes that GPM exerts a positive yet relatively modest effect on EGB. To strengthen outcomes, it is recommended that the hotel improve integration of GPM practices through structured dissemination, routine training, individualized performance monitoring, and formal feedback mechanisms. These enhancements are expected to increase employee engagement in sustainability initiatives and align behaviour more effectively with environmental performance.

Abstract

Heritage landscapes are increasingly conceptualized as living heritage integrating geological, ecological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. Despite this recognition, significant gaps remain between conceptual frameworks and their practical implementation, particularly where natural and cultural heritage intersect. This study employs a qualitative case study approach with methodological triangulation in the Soreang Ancient Volcano Area, Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia, to examine how pusaka saujana can inform sustainable cultural heritage tourism development. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with community stakeholders, and documentation studies, and analyzed using SWOT analysis combined with adaptive management principles. The findings indicate that the area embodies key characteristics of pusaka saujana, where ancient volcanic formations and ecological practices are closely intertwined with local cultural traditions and spiritual values. However, institutional weaknesses, limited infrastructure, and risks of environmental degradation and cultural commodification constrain sustainable management. To address these challenges, this study proposes a phased adaptive framework comprising recognition and protection of values, integration and reinterpretation, and consolidation and regeneration of heritage. This framework positions pusaka saujana not merely as a tourism asset but as a paradigm for living heritage governance. Conceptually, the research advances discourse on integrated heritage landscapes, while practically it offers a replicable community-based model for sustainable tourism governance in Indonesia.

Abstract

Bali, as an international tourism destination, faces growing sustainability challenges related to overtourism, plastic waste, and environmental degradation, which threaten environmental quality and local cultural preservation. In response, green hotels have been promoted as part of sustainable tourism development. However, empirical research examining how tourists perceive eco-friendly hotel practices through verified online customer reviews, particularly in Bali, remains limited. This study addresses this gap by exploring tourists’ perceptions of green hotels in Bali based on verified online reviews. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis, this study analysed 4,495 guest reviews collected from Booking.com for ten hotels in Bali certified as Verified Gold by Eco Tourism Bali. Among these reviews, 207 (4.6%) explicitly contained environmental or sustainability-related themes. Overall, tourists’ perceptions of green hotels in Bali were predominantly positive, with the highest appreciation directed toward general green practices, environmentally conscious site design, and sustainable purchasing practices. Word frequency analysis further shows that terms such as sustainable, environment, and eco appeared most frequently, indicating that tourists tend to associate green hotels with a holistic environmental identity rather than isolated technical practices. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence from verified online reviews on how eco-friendly hotel practices are perceived in a major tourism destination. Practically, the findings offer insights for hotel managers to enhance the visibility and implementation of sustainability initiatives without compromising guest comfort, thereby strengthening the credibility of green hotel practices.
