Abstract

This quantitative study investigates factors influencing local tourists' revisit intentions to Carabao Island. Integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior with Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty frameworks, the research analyzed the interplay of perceived risk, satisfaction, and experience among 162 Filipino tourists. Findings identify Tourist Experience (Weighted Mean = 4.44) and Tourist Satisfaction (WM = 4.43) as the primary drivers for returning, both receiving "Strongly Agree" ratings. Specifically, 64.8% of respondents were "Very Satisfied" with attractions, while 62.3% felt the same regarding accommodation. The island’s pleasant atmosphere emerged as a top experiential factor (WM = 4.55). Conversely, Perceived Risk exerted the least influence (WM = 3.73). While tourists generally feel transportation is safe (WM = 3.94), statistical analysis reveals that risk sensitivity varies significantly by age and income. Younger travelers and those in lower-income brackets (PHP 15,000–20,000) show higher sensitivity to risks. The study concludes that Carabao Island successfully delivers memorable experiences. Recommendations include maintaining service quality and tailoring marketing to address the specific risk concerns of younger, lower-income demographic segments to ensure long-term viability.

Abstract

Solid waste generation from the hospitality industry poses a significant global sustainability challenge for tourist destinations, including Zanzibar. The existing literature presents conflicting findings on the internal factors influencing hotels' adoption of sustainable solid waste management (SSWM) practices. Also, the majority of studies focus on broader environmental sustainability, neglecting SSWM. This study addresses this gap by investigating the internal factors affecting SSWM adoption in Zanzibar hotels, utilizing organizational theory as a lens. The study employed a qualitative multiple-case design, involving 14 hotels and 45 respondents recruited through snowball and purposive sampling. Primary data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document reviews, and were analysed thematically using MAXQDA software. The study found that organizational learning, leadership support, resources, and structure significantly influence SSWM practices in five out of 14 hotels. Additionally, employee motivation does not impact SSWM adoption in these hotels. Interviews with managers and department leaders revealed two unexpected factors: organizational adaptability and employee teamwork as key factors in SSWM adoption. The majority of three- to four-star hotels involved in this study struggled to implement sustainable waste management due to inadequate leadership support, limited organizational learning, insufficient resources, and the absence of a clear waste management policy and expertise. This study advances existing knowledge by providing empirical evidence of the importance of organizational structure and leadership support in advancing sustainable waste management practices within the hospitality industry.

Abstract

Batur as one part of the Batur Global Geopark, the urgency of this research is that a sustainable tourism planning and development model is very necessary to maintain the sustainability of culture, community environment, economy and way of life. Good planning and development will produce a good strategy in developing existing tourism resources. This study aims to examine the participation of local communities in the management of Batur Village as a tourist destination in Kintamani, regarding local community participation in the development of the Batur Geopark tourist area, the obstacles faced by local communities in the development of the Batur Geopark tourist area, and the efforts made by the Government in developing the Batur Geopark tourist area. The method in this study uses a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative. In this study, data were collected through interviews, observations, literature studies, documentation studies. The method of determining informants used key informants whose data came from people who were considered to know the research object such as, tourism industry entrepreneurs, community leaders, and the community then the data was analyzed using mixed qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques. The presentation of data analysis in this study was carried out qualitatively through verbal delivery with descriptive interpretative techniques. The results of this study indicate that community participation is divided into three parts, namely in the planning, management and evaluation stages involving community representatives from 15 villages that are included in the core zone of the Batur Geopark Tourism Area, but the development of the Batur Geopark Tourism Area has not been developed well and in accordance with the objectives of the geopark itself, there are still several activities that are contrary to the concept of a geopark that preserves the earth which can be seen from the increasing development of tourism facilities, the occurrence of land conversion, and the continued mining of sand and stone from lava from the eruption of Mount Batur.

Abstract

Sustainable tourism development in Bali after being hit by floods requires an approach that integrates local wisdom to maintain a balance between economic development, cultural preservation, and environmental sustainability. This study discusses the integration of Sad Kerthi, a fundamental concept of Balinese local wisdom, in the development of Tista Tourism Village in Tabanan Regency as a model of sustainable tourism based on local culture. Through a qualitative approach with observation and interview methods with the Government, Village Head, and local communities, this study explores how Sad Kerthi principles are integrated in the planning and management of tourism villages. The results show that the integration of Sad Kerthi values has contributed significantly to environmental preservation, local community empowerment, and improving the quality of tourist experience. The application of Sad Kerthi is manifested in several aspects of tourism development, namely community participation in the decision-making process, preservation of cultural ceremonies and rituals, environmental conservation efforts, and a human-centered development approach. These findings indicate that the Sad Kerthi framework provides a sustainable model for tourism development in Balinese villages, which balances economic benefits with cultural integrity and environmental management.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of tourism in Bali presents both opportunities and challenges for the preservation of its natural and cultural assets. This study proposes a Green Tourism Innovation Model as an integrated framework for establishing an Ecology‑Based Tourism Village in Nyambu Village, Tabanan. Grounded in the village’s intrinsic natural endowments, cultural heritage, and traditional agricultural systems, the model weaves together the principles of environmental sustainability, community empowerment, and digital technology. A qualitative research design was adopted, encompassing in‑depth interviews with key stakeholders including local government officials, village head, local communities and academic experts to capture a comprehensive understanding of the village’s socio‑ecological dynamics and governance context. Thematic analysis of interview data informed the articulation of seven inter‑linked pillars that constitute the green tourism innovation model. The results of this study produce a tourism village development model that focuses on the pillars of Policy & Incentives, Community Empowerment, Technology Integration, Sustainable Livelihoods, Smart Tourism Management, Environmental Stewardship, and Visitor Experience. The resulting green tourism innovation model framework provides a replicable blueprint for transforming traditional villages into resilient, low‑carbon tourism destinations. This research contributes to the green tourism literature and provides practical guidance for policymakers, developers, and community leaders who want to transform traditional villages into sustainable tourism destinations.

Abstract

Budget hotels are hotels with a lower-middle market segmentation. Having a broader target market, but with the rapid growth of competition caused by the establishment of many budget hotels, it has become quite a significant challenge, especially in terms of management and business sustainability. The management of budget hotels can generally be done independently or by using a Virtual Hotel Operator (VHO), but both have an impact on revenue optimization. Given these issues, the author intends to conduct research on the implementation of profit optimization in budget hotels located in the city of Malang. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to systematically illustrate the optimization of hotel revenue. The research results show that the optimization of budget hotel revenue is carried out thru independent management without involving a Virtual Hotel Operator (VHO). In addition, to increase the occupancy of budget hotels, the role of Online Travel Agents (OTAs) is also involved by limiting the share according to the level of visits. In addition, to enhance revenue optimization, it is not always accompanied by cost-cutting. This is evidenced by budget hotels that allocate funds for the use of a Property Management System (PMS) in the form of a Visual Hotel Program (VHP) with a rental system intended for data accuracy and asset security.

Abstract

With their unique features and characteristics, the rise of home-sharing e-booking applications, such as Airbnb, in Malaysia appears to have a significant impact on the hotel industry. However, several issues relating to security, service delivery, legality, and regulations have appeared. The quality of the service offered remains an essential competitive factor for any type of lodging, including Airbnb home-sharing properties. Thus, this study aims to investigate the influence of Airbnb home-sharing service quality dimensions on guests' experiences and loyalty, and to identify whether these services have the potential to sustain and compete in the hotel industry. With the aid of previous literature, three primary dimensions, i.e., physical environment quality, assurance quality, and interaction quality, along with their sub-dimensions, were identified as key factors for Airbnb home-sharing service quality in Malaysia. A total of 318 complete questionnaires were successfully collected. The sub-dimensions are verified by using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Regression analysis was conducted following EFA. The results indicate that the Airbnb home-sharing service quality dimension, which includes physical environment quality, assurance quality, and interaction quality, can enhance guests' experience and loyalty. Hence, the findings are expected to enhance service quality and contribute to the body of knowledge that can be replicated in various service industries.

Abstract

Food safety management is a critical concern in the hospitality industry, particularly in hotel kitchen operations where strict hygiene and quality standards must be maintained. Although the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system is widely recognized as an effective approach to controlling food safety risks, empirical studies examining its practical implementation in hotel kitchens, especially in major tourism destinations, remain limited. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the HACCP system in the kitchen of Conrad Bali and to identify key challenges, supporting factors, and opportunities for improving food safety management practices in the hospitality sector.This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with eight key informants, non-participant observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the HACCP system has been implemented systematically across kitchen operations, supported by staff understanding of HACCP principles, structured monitoring procedures, and consistent documentation practices. The implementation is further strengthened by adequate kitchen facilities, digital monitoring systems, regular internal audits, and strong management commitment. However, several operational challenges were identified, including logistical delays in sanitation supplies and staff adaptation due to trainee rotation. The study also highlights that waste segregation practices support both contamination control and sustainability initiatives. This research contributes to the understanding of HACCP implementation in hotel kitchens by demonstrating the importance of integrating food safety systems with digital monitoring and sustainability-oriented practices in the hospitality industry.

Abstract

Since its implementation in 2020, the Merdeka Belajar - Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program has produced both positive and negative impacts on students. It enhances soft skills, cognitive abilities, social competence, scientific literacy, and problem-solving skills. However, it also creates challenges such as time management difficulties, limited communication with lecturers, and increased physical and mental fatigue, which contribute to rising academic stress. Initial data from 78 students showed an average academic stress score of 42.4 for non-participants, while MBKM participants reached 51.1. This study aims to assess the predictive role of social support and grit on academic stress in MBKM students. A total of 224 students from various regions in Indonesia participated in this quantitative study. Analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression in SPSS. The results showed that social support and persistence were significantly related to academic stress (0.000 < 0.05), with F = 48.472 (greater than F table = 3.09) and R² = 0.305. This means that 30.5% of the variation in academic stress can be explained by social support (4.69%) and persistence (25.8%). The regression coefficients of social support (-0.225) and persistence (-0.866) indicate that an increase in both factors is associated with a decrease in academic stress. Overall, this study concludes that persistence is a stronger predictor of academic stress in MBKM students.

Abstract

Despite Tanzania’s strong policy and legal frameworks for sustainable tourism and community-based conservation, little is known about how governance decisions affect tourism resource conservation. This study examines how political economy dynamics shape these decisions using qualitative methods, including interviews, focus groups, and document review across Tanzania’s four tourism circuits. Findings reveal highly centralized governance with limited local fiscal and decision-making autonomy, constraining community participation and adaptive management. Political incentives and revenue-driven performance targets prioritize short-term economic gains over long-term ecological sustainability. Power asymmetries favor investors and central authorities, resulting in inequitable benefit-sharing and reduced local support, while weak transparency and limited institutional capacity undermine trust in governance mechanisms such as Wildlife Management Areas. Effective conservation requires aligning political incentives with ecological goals, strengthening local capacity, and fostering meaningful community participation. Limitations include qualitative focus and partial coverage. Future research should examine long-term governance impacts, tourism taxation, and regional comparative analyses to identify best practices in sustainable tourism governance.
