Abstract

Tourism collaboration is to create a series of tourism programs or activities that are more diverse, attractive, and sustainable to attract tourists to visit an area or tourist destination on an ongoing basis. The purpose of the Hexahelix collaborative research in the development of halal tourism in Indonesia is to examine the potential for halal tourism in Indonesia and how this potential can be optimally and sustainably developed through collaboration between Government, community, academia, private sector, law and the mass media which have their respective roles. The method of using post-positivism qualitative research sees reality as a construction continuously developed through subjective experiences, so post-positivism qualitative research emphasizes in-depth interpretation and understanding related to phenomena. Logical analysis can identify errors or weaknesses in an argument or ensure that the conclusions drawn from the argument are correct and consistent. The results show that the hexahelix collaboration significantly contributes to accelerating halal tourism development in Indonesia. In this study, it was also found that the development of halal tourism in Indonesia has enormous potential as a type of tourism trending and experiencing rapid growth in Indonesia and the world. Thus, it is hoped that the development of halal tourism in Indonesia can be successful and provide greater benefits for economic development and people's welfare.

Abstract

The development of Indonesia tourism today has experienced a significant increase. This is inseparable from the role of great tourism potential in Indonesia. The village tourism sector can be developed through cultural wealth, education, and ecotourism. However, issues have arisen in the efforts to manage tourism, particularly in rural areas, due to the suboptimal role of the government in managing tourism potential Conversely, in order to optimize village authority, Villages Law provides financial assistance in the form of Village Funds, which come from a basic allocation fund of 90% that is the same for all villages, plus a formulation fund of 10% which represents the difference in the amount of village funds received between villages. The formulation fund is adjusted to the Number of Population (25%), Number of Poor (35%), Village Area (10%) and geographical difficulty (30%). Unfortunately, the division of parameters is consumptive and not productive, in the sense that there is no division of parameters for the local potential of villages that differ from one village to another. Therefore, the author initiated the idea of adding parameters to the village's local potential in the distribution of village fund formulation funds. The research method used in this scientific work is normative juridical. The addition of local potential parameters in the distribution of village fund formulation funds includes the potential of the village tourism sector. With the implementation of this idea, it is expected to optimize tourism management efforts and increase the potential of the tourism sector in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of social media in the form of Youtube in promoting the city branding of Yogyakarta, which has been known as a city of culture. Specifically, this research develops three research questions: 1) “What is the role of Youtube social media in promoting city branding of Yogyakarta?”, 2) “Does the cultural aspect appear as the main image of Yogyakarta on Youtube social media?”, 3) “What are the roles of individuals and institutions in the process of Yogyakarta city branding as a cultural city on social media Youtube?”. A total of 240 user-generated content on Youtube were collected via #yogyakarta over a period of 1 month. The content is then analyzed using content information analysis. This study adopts 12 different categories in order to analyze video content. Related to the research question, the research results show that social media plays an important role in creating city branding in Yogyakarta. In this case, users are able to describe Yogyakarta from various perspectives through social media (Youtube). Second, the cultural aspects identified are not the main aspects related to Yogyakarta, but local culinary delights and historical buildings. Nonetheless, these two aspects have a long history and connection with the culture in Yogyakarta. For the last question, the research results show that individuals play a bigger role in building Yogyakarta city branding than institutions. This shows that individuals are positioned not only as consumers of social media but also as producers of social media.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Pangkalpinang are crucial contributors to the local economy, especially in the post-tin mining era, by driving economic diversification and regional development. This research delves into the role of the creative economy in fostering sustainable tourism during this transitional period. Through a qualitative approach, the study employs the SWOT analysis framework to assess the development of MSMEs and their connection to sustainable tourism in Pangkalpinang. The strengths of these MSMEs are evident in their distinctive product offerings, robust stakeholder networks, and the recognition and certifications they have attained. These elements position them well within the market. However, they face notable internal challenges, including limited resources, technological constraints, and financial difficulties, which hinder their growth potential. Externally, MSMEs in Pangkalpinang contend with high economic inflation, stiff competition from larger retail entities, and shifting consumer preferences driven by economic downturns. These factors create a challenging environment for MSMEs to thrive. Despite these challenges, there are significant opportunities for growth. MSMEs can capitalize on product diversification, which allows them to cater to a broader range of consumer needs. Additionally, there is substantial support from the government and various institutions, which can provide the necessary backing for these enterprises. Aligning their business models with sustainable tourism trends also presents a promising avenue for long-term success. By leveraging these opportunities, MSMEs in Pangkalpinang can enhance their resilience and contribute meaningfully to sustainable regional development in the post-mining era.
