Abstract

Culinary festivals have increasingly emerged as important platforms for cultural tourism, offering visitors opportunities to engage with local heritage through food-based experiences. However, limited attention has been given to the role of tour guides in shaping cultural interpretation and visitor engagement within culinary festival settings. This study aims to examine how tour guides influence visitors’ cultural understanding and engagement at the Festival Kuliner Legendaris Jakarta. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving tour guides, festival visitors, and event organizers. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to guiding practices and visitor experiences. The findings reveal that tour guides play a significant role as cultural interpreters, storytellers, and experience curators by contextualizing local culinary heritage through interpretive narratives and interactive communication. These practices enhance visitors’ cultural appreciation, emotional connection, and overall engagement with the festival experience. This study contributes to tourism and event management literature by extending the understanding of tour guides’ roles in culinary festival contexts and provides practical insights for festival organizers and destination managers in designing culturally meaningful and engaging culinary tourism experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of social media in shaping trendy beverage consumption in the café industry. This research employs a quantitative approach using correlation and regression analysis to examine the relationship between social media variables and consumption trends. The sample in this study consisted of 100 respondents who are consumers of The Well Belitung, OS Kongdjie, and Happy Resto. The theory applied in this study is the Diffusion of Innovations, which explains how an innovation can spread and be adopted by society through social media. The results indicate that social media has a positive and significant influence on trendy beverage consumption. The higher the intensity and quality of content presented on social media, the greater its impact on shaping consumer preferences and purchasing decisions. In conclusion, social media plays an important role in creating and strengthening consumption trends. Therefore, café business owners are encouraged to optimize social media as an effective marketing strategy that aligns with the characteristics of their target market, particularly Generation Z.

Abstract

Karamunting Hotel is a 4-star educational and practical hotel in Palembang. With 105 rooms, the hotel boasts a strategic location in the heart of the Palembang Tourism Polytechnic. This study aims to determine the receptionist's preparation for welcoming group guests, the service provided, and the factors that hinder welcoming group guests at Karamunting Hotel Palembang. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, and data was obtained from interviews with informants, as well as data on the number of group room reservations and standard operating procedures for welcoming guests. The conclusion is that welcoming group guests has not been implemented effectively because service standards, such as luggage handling, are still handled independently by group guests. Furthermore, it is necessary to review the procedures and steps, including standard operating procedures, for welcoming guests.
