Abstract

Berau Regency in East Kalimantan possesses significant mangrove forest resources with high biodiversity and ecosystem value, yet their utilization for ecotourism has remained suboptimal, leading to limited economic benefits and insufficient community engagement in sustainable development. Recognizing this gap, the study was designed to analyze and propose a sustainable mangrove ecotourism management model that integrates economic, environmental, and social dimensions to ensure long-term viability. The research employed a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative techniques such as in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, surveys, and stakeholder analysis, with quantitative tools including financial feasibility analysis, SWOT analysis, and business canvas modeling. Data were collected from 30 key informants, 200 respondents, and extensive field observations, supported by secondary statistical and planning documents. The findings reveal that Berau Regency’s mangrove ecotourism has substantial development potential, with an estimated revenue of Rp 9.8 billion by the fifth year, a positive Net Present Value of Rp 8,650 million, an Internal Rate of Return of 18.5%, and a payback period of 4.2 years, confirming financial feasibility. Furthermore, the proposed collaborative governance model, involving local government, communities, private sector actors, and NGOs, is projected to increase community income by 66.7%, create 450 new jobs, and enhance ecosystem conservation through structured monitoring. The study concludes that sustainable mangrove ecotourism in Berau Regency can be effectively achieved through integrated multi-stakeholder collaboration, balanced financial mechanisms, and adaptive management strategies, thereby contributing directly to local welfare improvement, biodiversity protection, and the advancement of Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

Religious tourism has long played an important role in both spiritual life and local economic development, offering benefits for communities and visitors alike. In Indonesia, one of the prominent religious tourism sites is the tomb of Sheikh Maulana Syamsuddin in Pemalang, which attracts pilgrims from various educational and occupational backgrounds. This study aims to examine the frequency of religious tourist visits to this site based on education level and occupation. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected from 200 respondents over a four-month period (April–July) through random sampling. Questionnaires served as the primary research instrument, and data were analyzed using the contingency correlation method to determine the relationship between visit frequency and socio-demographic variables. The findings reveal a correlation between education level and the frequency of visits, with tourists holding junior and senior high school education levels dominating the “very frequent” category, while those with bachelor’s degrees were most often in the “very rare” category. Similarly, visit frequency was correlated with occupation, where entrepreneurs and private employees reported higher frequencies, while retirees and civil servants tended to visit less often. The calculated correlation coefficients were 35.23% for education level and 34.64% for occupation, indicating a weak but notable relationship between these variables and visitation patterns. These results highlight that socio-demographic factors influence participation in religious tourism, suggesting that strategies to promote sustainable religious tourism development should consider the educational and occupational characteristics of potential visitors.

Abstract

Rajamangsa Mantyasih, a royal culinary heritage from the ancient Mataram Kingdom, is being reconstructed as a cultural attraction in Gunungsari Tourism Village, Madiun Regency, to strengthen local identity and enhance cultural-based tourism development. The purpose of this research is to explore how the historical narrative of Rajamangsa Mantyasih can be reconstructed and adapted in contemporary contexts to serve as an authentic, educational, and marketable tourism product. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using field observations, participatory documentation, and semi-structured interviews with cultural practitioners, community members, and tourism managers. Findings reveal that the reconstruction process integrates historical narratives from the Mantyasih Inscription with adaptive culinary practices, substituting rare ingredients with locally available resources while maintaining symbolic values. The reconstructed Rajamangsa Mantyasih is developed into two main attraction formats: the Buffet Meeting Package and the Cooking Class Package, both of which emphasize participatory and educational tourism experiences. Community involvement plays a central role, with local residents contributing knowledge, resources, and management in ways that strengthen cultural preservation and stimulate economic activities through MSMEs. The study concludes that Rajamangsa Mantyasih not only preserves historical values but also creates a sustainable cultural tourism model that promotes heritage appreciation, strengthens local identity, and contributes to community empowerment. This model offers a replicable approach for other tourism villages seeking to leverage cultural heritage as a foundation for sustainable tourism innovation.

Abstract

This study explores visitor preferences and market potential for the development of a water-based glamping destination at Paisupok Lake, Central Sulawesi, an ecologically unique site characterized by exceptionally clear waters and preserved submerged logs. The research is grounded in the growing global trend toward sustainable, immersive, and comfort-oriented travel experiences, with glamping emerging as a hybrid form of eco-luxury tourism. The primary objective is to assess travelers’ motivations, preferred activities, and facility expectations to inform strategic planning for ecotourism development in the region. A quantitative-descriptive approach was applied through an online survey distributed to 200 purposively sampled respondents aged 20–45 years with prior interest in nature tourism or glamping. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation to examine links between demographics and travel preferences. Findings indicate that key motivations include relaxation, healing, and engagement with ecotourism, with favored activities being canoeing, snorkeling, and lakeside glamping. Respondents emphasized the importance of comfort, privacy, hygiene, and scenic views, while also valuing opportunities for conservation education. Market segmentation highlights a dominant group of young professionals (24–35 years old) with middle-to-upper incomes, positioning the destination within the eco-luxury segment. The study concludes that Paisupok Lake holds strong potential for sustainable glamping tourism by integrating comfort, environmental stewardship, and educational value. Strategic implications underscore the need for tailored short tour packages, storytelling-driven digital promotion, and community-based conservation initiatives to ensure long-term competitiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

This study explores the pivotal role of local wisdom in fostering sustainable tourism development in Pentingsari Tourism Village, Yogyakarta, against the backdrop of mass tourism’s threats to environmental integrity and sociocultural continuity. The research aims to identify key elements of local wisdom, examine their interaction with tourism practices, and assess their contribution to sustainability frameworks. Adopting a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and document analysis, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model supported by Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to uncover emergent themes. Findings reveal that values such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), environmental stewardship, Islamic ethical norms, and cultural preservation are deeply embedded in tourism governance and provide resilience against crises, including the 2010 Merapi eruption and COVID-19 pandemic. Community participation, particularly through youth organizations, strengthens cultural transmission and innovation, while partnerships with government, NGOs, and the private sector enhance institutional capacity and economic empowerment. Pentingsari demonstrates that prioritizing quality over quantity of visitors, developing nature-based educational tourism, and integrating traditional knowledge into modern tourism practices generate inclusive economic benefits, cultural pride, and ecological responsibility. The conclusion underscores that Pentingsari offers a replicable model of community-based tourism rooted in local wisdom, balancing cultural vitality, environmental care, and economic viability. However, the study also highlights challenges of cultural commodification, dependency on tourism markets, and ecological carrying capacity, suggesting the need for further research on scalability across diverse socio-cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the development potential and carrying capacity of minawisata (fisheries-based marine tourism) in Kampung Madong–Sei Nyirih, Tanjungpinang City, Kepulauan Riau Province, in response to growing demands for sustainable coastal development and alternative livelihoods for fishing communities. The research aims to evaluate land suitability, environmental carrying capacity, and infrastructure readiness for three main clusters: mangrove ecotourism, fishing tourism, and floating net cage aquaculture. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-based spatial analysis, carrying capacity calculations aligned with national regulatory standards, and qualitative input from government, community, academic, and private stakeholders. The results revealed that 66.03% (199.42 ha) of mangrove areas and 99.13% (322.47 ha) of marine waters are highly suitable for tourism activities, while only 1.0% of the assessed areas are suitable for floating net cage aquaculture. Carrying capacity estimates showed the potential to accommodate 1,595 daily visitors for mangrove-based tourism, 1,075 for fishing activities, and 45 for aquaculture tourism. These findings underscore significant opportunities for developing integrated fisheries-tourism models, especially through mangrove conservation and traditional fishing practices that align with sustainable tourism principles. However, challenges remain in addressing infrastructure gaps, institutional coordination, and community capacity for tourism service delivery. The study concludes that Kampung Madong–Sei Nyirih holds strong potential as a model for sustainable coastal development that integrates conservation, economic diversification, and community empowerment. Its implementation could provide practical lessons for similar coastal regions in Indonesia and Southeast Asia facing the dual challenges of environmental protection and livelihood improvement
