Abstract

This research aims to determine the existing conditions of the destination and ecosystem of Laisiana beach tourism and evaluate the performance and importance of these existing conditions. This research falls under the action research design with data acquisition techniques using interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Determining the research population is through non-probability sampling with a convenience sampling approach and key actors sampling. The number of research samples is 75 people. Variable measurement is done on a Likert scale. The data types consist of primary and secondary data. Data analysis is done using a quantitative approach, namely interval technique and IPA analysis. The research results indicate that there is still a gap between the existing conditions of the destination and the tourism ecosystem towards satisfaction. The evaluation results show that the existing conditions of tourist destinations have not been a focus while the expectations of tourists are very high. Unlike the existing tourism conditions, most attributes such as community acceptance, tourist locations, tourist products, investments, development policies, and supporting tourism industries are expectations of tourists to be improved but are not a priority, while aspects that are not of concern to tourists receive excessive attention such as tourist targets, supporting facilities, tourism trends, product value, marketing, and tourism resources.

Abstract

This study explores the role of media in promoting tourism, particularly in Pampang Village, a rural area in East Kalimantan known for its rich Dayak culture. The village is a prominent cultural tourism destination, where media, especially social media, plays a vital role in attracting tourists by highlighting its cultural and natural beauty. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to understand how media influences tourists' interests. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with tourists, direct observation of media content used for promotion, and content analysis of various media platforms. The Diffusion of Innovation theory served as the theoretical framework to analyze the spread of information about Pampang Village through social media. The study found that social media significantly enhances the visibility and appeal of Pampang Village by showcasing its unique cultural heritage. Tourists are attracted to the village through engaging content, including photos, videos, and stories that emphasize the Dayak community's traditions. Social media also facilitates direct communication between potential tourists and the village, fostering a stronger connection and personalized experience. However, challenges such as content sustainability and competition with other tourist destinations were identified. Media, particularly digital platforms, plays a crucial role in promoting Pampang Village as a cultural tourism destination. It helps build a positive image, facilitates interaction between tourists and the village, and increases tourist engagement. The findings suggest that with effective use of media, Pampang Village can enhance its tourism appeal and contribute to the local economy.

Abstract

The successful development of tourist destinations plays a crucial role in fostering local economic growth. However, regions often replicate tourism models without accounting for their unique geography, culture, demography, and socio-economic characteristics, leading to ineffective and costly outcomes. This research aims to highlight the significance of local cultural strengths in creating sustainable tourism strategies tailored to specific regional contexts. The study employs a literature review and observational approach, coupled with surveys distributed to tourists, business operators, and travel agencies. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were utilized to identify trends, behaviors, and perceptions related to tourism development. The findings reveal that local culture, as an intrinsic social capital, holds significant potential to attract visitors by offering authentic and unique experiences. Cultural elements such as traditions, arts, culinary heritage, and social practices create strong narratives that differentiate destinations and enhance tourist satisfaction. Moreover, understanding local psychographic and demographic factors is pivotal in positioning tourism products effectively. The research concludes that leveraging local culture not only preserves regional identity but also stimulates entrepreneurship and economic prosperity. Tourism strategies that integrate cultural heritage with innovative marketing approaches have the potential to create sustainable competitive advantages, encouraging repeat visits and fostering community involvement. This study underscores the importance of aligning tourism development with local cultural values to achieve harmonious growth, benefiting both tourists and host communities.

Abstract

Tourism villages have emerged as a crucial source of local income in Bintan Regency, yet the policy implementation for managing these villages faces both practical and theoretical challenges. This research aims to analyze the implementation of public policies in the management of tourist villages in Bintan, using Edward III's theory as a framework. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing both secondary data from government documents and primary data collected through interviews with key informants. The findings reveal that although Bintan’s tourism villages are generally managed effectively, several obstacles still hinder their full potential. These challenges include limited human resources, inadequate infrastructure, budgetary constraints, and social conflicts within the community. The study highlights the importance of communication as a key factor in policy implementation, where efficient and effective communication between stakeholders can improve service quality in the tourist villages. It also raises community awareness about the preservation of the environment and local culture, which are vital for attracting tourists. Moreover, the availability of both human and natural resources plays a significant role in enhancing tourist experiences. The attitudes and dispositions of tourism village managers are also essential in fostering an environment that supports environmental conservation and cultural heritage. The research underscores the need for a structured bureaucratic framework, characterized by clear policy hierarchies, active community involvement, government transparency, and better collaboration among agencies. To promote sustainable tourism in Bintan, this study recommends that the government provide training and support to local communities.

Abstract

Tourism branding strategies are crucial for creating a unique and compelling identity for destinations to attract visitors. This study focuses on Pura Pengelukatan Tirta Sudamala, a spiritual temple located in Wanagiri Village, Bali, which holds significant potential as a religious and healing tourism destination. Despite its historical and cultural importance, the temple's potential remains underdeveloped and underexplored. The research objectives are to analyze the temple’s spiritual, cultural, and natural appeal and to propose an effective branding strategy to elevate its recognition as a healing tourism site. The study adopts a qualitative research methodology with a descriptive approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Key stakeholders, including temple caretakers, local residents, and visitors, provided critical insights. Field observations highlighted the temple’s purification rituals rooted in Tri Kaya Parisudha and Panca Maha Bhuta concepts, combining spirituality, natural elements, and therapeutic experiences. The findings demonstrate that Pura Pengelukatan Tirta Sudamala possesses unique attributes for spiritual healing, including traditional purification practices, serene natural surroundings, and cultural heritage. However, challenges such as limited accessibility, inadequate promotion, and low visitor awareness hinder its development. To address these issues, the proposed branding strategy focuses on the 4A framework: Awareness, Attitude, Action, and Accessibility. Key strategies include increasing online visibility through social media, engaging with wellness tourism influencers, improving visitor facilities, and developing infrastructure. Collaborative efforts with travel agencies and local stakeholders are also recommended to enhance accessibility and sustainability.

Abstract

The tourist village is a regional development concept that makes the village a tourist destination. Proper management of all tourist attractions is expected to empower the village community. However, in Bintan Regency, in developing tourism by empowering village communities that show good quality, one of them is Ekang Tourism in Ekang Anculai Village. This study aimed to identify management strategies for managing Ekang Tourism in Ekang Anculai Village by looking at environmental factors, formulation, implementation, evaluation, and control using Wheelen and Hunger's theory (2012). The research method uses a qualitative method by using secondary data and some informant data that researchers can get from the field and then analyze in depth. Data analysis techniques were carried out using triangulation techniques relevant to research case studies following the phenomena in the factual evidence that occurred. The study results show that in analyzing management strategies for managing Ekang tourism in Ekang Anculai Village there is an ongoing collaboration process on Wheelen and Hunger's theory (2012). In addition, researchers also found that community empowerment was carried out in the early stages until now, so the tourism concept was built to take advantage of the potential of Natural Resources and Human Resources in Ekang Anculai Village. But strategic management innovation must be implemented to develop a sustainable strategic management concept. This means that this alternative is needed to anticipate some small mistakes and can be corrected as quickly as possible in future strategic innovations in the management of Ekang tourism in Ekang Anculai Village.

Abstract

The tourism sector in Lingga Regency holds significant potential as a catalyst for regional economic development, especially given its rich marine, cultural, and historical assets. However, this potential remains underutilized due to persistent issues in public service performance, particularly within the Tourism Office. The background of this research is the low effectiveness and efficiency of tourism-related public services, as evidenced by the drastic gap between strategic targets and actual outcomes most notably, the revitalization of tourist destinations, which only reached 7.03% of the planned 80% target in 2024. This study aims to evaluate the performance of public service delivery in Lingga's tourism sector using a three-dimensional model comprising input, output, and outcome dimensions. Employing a qualitative research approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with key officials, field observations at tourism sites, and analysis of strategic and accountability documents such as LAKIP and RPJMD. Data were analyzed using a structured coding system based on ten performance indicators, including service structure, responsiveness, stakeholder engagement, and policy alignment. The results show that although strategic plans and organizational frameworks exist, implementation is hindered by weak coordination, limited infrastructure, underdeveloped human resource capacity, and low community involvement. Promotional efforts and digital engagement are also insufficient to create a compelling tourism brand. The conclusion emphasizes the need for institutional reform through enhanced capacity building, performance-based budgeting, stakeholder collaboration, and the adoption of community-based tourism.
