Abstract

Tourism is an important industry that has a huge impact on the economy. This economic impact comes from the spending of tourists who visit a tourism destination. Therefore, tourism destinations must make the necessary arrangements to effectively receive and maximize this economic opportunity.  An important step in understanding and effectively managing the tourism industry is to identify the critical aspects that contribute to its success. Examining critical success factors in various tourism destinations, taking into account geographic, cultural, and economic variations, is essential to understanding the intricacies of the tourism sector as a whole. This research utilizes a qualitative research methodology, namely content analysis, which includes conducting a literature review and using triangulation. The purpose of this study was to identify the key factors that influence the success of the tourism industry in the context of diverse tourism destinations. The research findings show that various key factors significantly influence the success of various tourism destinations. These factors are uniqueness of location, attractiveness of tourist attractions, ease of access, government support, local community involvement, availability of facilities and infrastructure, quality of human resources, effectiveness of marketing and promotion efforts, and tourist motivation. Within the realm of green tourism, these findings underscore the imperative of incorporating sustainable practices into each of these elements. This includes advocating for environmentally friendly modes of transportation, endorsing local environmentally conscious enterprises, and ensuring that tourism development amplifies rather than exploits natural and cultural resources. This integration will not only adhere to the ideals of sustainable tourism but also have the ability to boost the economic advantages of the tourism industry by attracting environmentally aware travelers.

Abstract

This research delves into the integration of augmented reality (AR) technology through Instagram filters to enhance responsible tourism practices. With a specific focus on Generation Z tourists in the Yogyakarta Special District, we recognize the importance of collective action in shaping the future of tourism. Despite the government's continuous efforts, responsible tourism implementation faces challenges, leading to cultural and environmental issues due to the increasing number of tourists. Leveraging the preferences and influence of Generation Z, this study proposes the application of AR through Instagram filters as a solution to engage and educate tourists on responsible tourism principles. The methodology involves the construction of AR system models and Instagram filter user interfaces, followed by observation and interviews with Generation Z users. The results indicate that AR filters can effectively convey information about cultural and historical assets, facilitate digital map navigation, and encourage Generation Z tourists to actively contribute to responsible tourism practices. This research underscores the significance of embracing innovative technologies to foster responsible tourism in the Yogyakarta Special District and emphasizes the collaborative nature of this endeavor, requiring the active participation of the government, tourists, and digital artists for sustainable tourism development.

Abstract

Angantelu Traditional Village, with its natural and cultural riches, has great potential to implement green tourism as a sustainable tourism development strategy. Bukit Batu Belah, as one of the tourist destinations in this village, offers beautiful natural panoramas and opportunities for various environmentally friendly activities such as jogging and hiking. This research aims to examine the concept and implementation of green tourism as a new direction for the development of sustainable tourism in the Angantelu Traditional Village. A qualitative approach is used to understand the context, meaning and experiences of research subjects holistically. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using a qualitative approach, such as narrative and thematic analysis. This result showed that the implementation of green tourism in the Angantelu Traditional Village, especially in Bukit Batu Belah, has shown various successes and challenges. The green tourism policies and programs implemented have succeeded in increasing environmental awareness and active participation of local communities. Conservation efforts and land use regulations have helped preserve local ecosystems, while environmental education programs strengthen public and tourist understanding of the importance of sustainable tourism. However, the main challenges faced include a lack of coordination between stakeholders, environmental awareness that still needs to be improved, and conflicts of interest between tourism actors and the community.

Abstract

This study aims to address this gap by exploring innovative strategies to enhance community capacity, thereby promoting sustainable tourism that benefits both the environment and the local economy. Sustainable tourism has gained prominence in both academic research and industry practice over the past decade, particularly in regions like Ciwidey, West Java, where natural beauty attracts a growing number of tourists. This increase in tourism brings both economic opportunities and significant environmental and social challenges, creating a need to balance economic growth with environmental preservation and community welfare. While existing literature emphasizes the importance of sustainable tourism, there is a noticeable gap in understanding how to build community capacity to manage these challenges effectively. Previous studies have often treated economic, social, and environmental aspects separately, lacking a comprehensive approach that integrates all three dimensions in a local context like Ciwidey. Given the strain on Ciwidey’s natural resources and the uneven distribution of tourism benefits, it is urgent to develop strategies that ensure equitable and sustainable economic development. By focusing on these issues, the research seeks to provide practical solutions that empower local communities to actively participate in and benefit from sustainable tourism. The study found that despite a growing awareness of sustainable tourism, significant barriers remain, such as limited resources and a lack of education and training. The success of sustainable tourism initiatives in Ciwidey depends largely on the community’s ability to engage effectively and take full advantage of the opportunities presented by inclusive tourism.

Abstract

Green communication is one of the crucial things in realizing an environmentally friendly concept in the hotel industry because the environmentally friendly concept is not only about the natural environment but also how humans communicate well and effectively to start ecologically friendly programs. This research explores the application of green communication. It was carried out by front office staff at New Sunari Lovina Bali Resort, which aims to make communication more effective in transmitting the work obtained and to impact how employees view environmentally friendly management. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis using descriptive qualitative research methods. These findings show that New Sunari Lovina Beach Resort has implemented green actions, starting with cooperation, coordination, communication, comfort, and problem-solving. Though, implementing green communication at the front office of New Sunari Lovina Bali Resort also faces several obstacles. Lack of staff awareness of sustainable principles, lack of clarity regarding concrete benefits, and operational constraints such as the availability of resources and technology are challenges that must be overcome. The results of this study provide an essential basis for developing effective, sustainable communication strategies in dealing with environmental issues.
