Core Subject : Humanities, Social,
ECOTOUR is dedicated to exploring how ecotourism can support environmental conservation and contribute to sustainable development. The journal aims to publish research that delves into the synergy between ecotourism and conservation, offering insights that help integrate tourism practices with environmental stewardship. Focus: This journal centers on studies that investigate the impact of ecotourism on environmental conservation. It emphasizes research that evaluates how ecotourism initiatives can either advance or hinder conservation efforts, with a focus on providing practical recommendations for aligning tourism practices with conservation objectives. Scope: This journal seeks to publish a broad range of scholarly articles, including: 1. Conservation Outcomes of Ecotourism: Analysis of how different ecotourism activities impact conservation goals, including both successful and less effective case studies. 2. Sustainable Tourism Approaches: Research into strategies that foster sustainable tourism, such as eco-friendly lodging, responsible travel practices, and community involvement. 3. Biodiversity and Ecotourism: Examination of the role of ecotourism in conserving biodiversity, including efforts to protect endangered species and preserve natural habitats. 4. Economic Impacts and Management: Studies on how ecotourism affects local economies, evaluating both the financial benefits and the challenges of managing tourism in a sustainable way. 5. Cultural and Social Effects: Investigations into the cultural and social dimensions of ecotourism, focusing on its impact on local communities, cultural heritage, and traditional practices. 6. Policy and Best Practices: Exploration of policies and management frameworks that facilitate the alignment of ecotourism with conservation goals, including regulations and collaborative approaches. 7. Innovative Ecotourism Practices: Research on new and innovative ecotourism models that support environmental conservation while enhancing the visitor experience, including the use of technology and community-based projects.

Abstract

Baground: Coastal tourism areas should be developed with an environmentally sound approach to achieving sustainable tourism, which safeguards the environment while providing a decent livelihood for surrounding communities. This study aims to assess the feasibility level of Taipa Beach tourism in Taipa Village, Lembo District, North Konawe Regency. Unlike previous studies that focus primarily on promotion or visitor statistics, this research applies a comprehensive feasibility framework, offering broader insights into sustainable coastal tourism development. Methods: Fieldwork was conducted from September to November 2024, applying the Guidelines for Analyzing the Area of Operation of Natural Tourism Objects and Attractions (ADO-ODTWA) issued by the Director General of PHKA (2003). Findings: The results show that Taipa Beach is feasible as an alternative natural tourism area, with an overall feasibility index value of 81.6%. Of the eight criteria assessed, six were declared feasible (attractiveness, accessibility, facilities and infrastructure, security, conditions around the area, and relationships with other tourist attractions), while two criteria were not yet feasible (climate and accommodation). Strategic interventions are therefore required to improve accommodation facilities and develop adaptation measures for non-ideal climatic conditions, such as supporting infrastructure to manage extreme weather. Conclusion:  Overall, Taipa Beach is considered feasible for sustainable nature-based tourism development, with a high feasibility index of 81.6%. However, improvements in accommodation facilities and climate adaptation measures are essential to enhance its sustainability and resilience as an eco-tourism destination in North Konawe Regency. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study contributes not only to local tourism planning but also to the broader discourse on sustainable tourism and ecotourism feasibility. By integrating multi-dimensional criteria into the feasibility assessment, the research provides a replicable model for coastal tourism development in other regions facing similar challenges.

Abstract

Background: Awila Hills Agrotourism is a local agricultural center characterized by diverse horticultural production, including cayenne pepper, curly chili, corn, long beans, pumpkin, mustard greens, and tomatoes. Beyond its role as a tourist attraction, this agrotourism area maintains strong economic linkages with surrounding communities, where local residents regularly purchase fresh agricultural products directly from farmers. This interaction supports a stable local market and strengthens community participation, highlighting the importance of integrated and sustainable agrotourism development. Methods: This study was conducted from April to May 2025 using a mixed-methods approach that combined qualitative and quantitative descriptive analyses. A SWOT analysis framework was applied to identify and evaluate internal and external factors influencing the development potential of Awila Hills Agrotourism, thereby supporting strategic decision-making. Findings: The analysis indicates that the Strength–Opportunity (S–O) strategy achieved the highest priority score of 3.42, making it the most feasible development strategy. This approach emphasizes leveraging internal strengths to capitalize on external opportunities. Key recommended actions include optimizing natural landscapes and visitor comfort through targeted digital media promotion, developing educational tourism packages that integrate agricultural activities with environmental learning, and maintaining cleanliness and comfort to align with government tourism development programs. Conclusion: The prioritization of the S–O strategy underscores the importance of maximizing natural resources and educational potential to increase visitor numbers and enhance local economic benefits. This strategy supports sustainable agrotourism development by balancing tourism growth, community welfare, and environmental conservation. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study offers a strategic development model for agrotourism by integrating SWOT-based analysis with educational tourism and community economic linkages. The findings provide a practical and replicable framework for sustainable agrotourism development in similar rural and agricultural tourism destinations.
