<![CDATA[Despite the proliferation of Community-Based Tourism (CBT) as a sustainable development tool, its long-term viability remains precarious due to structural fragility and external disruptions. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) investigates the institutional arrangements underpinning CBT resilience in Southeast Asia, addressing the gap between normative participation and actual sustainability. Guided by PRISMA 2020 protocols, the study synthesizes 34 high-impact, Scopus-indexed articles (2020–2025) through a rigorous three-stage coding process: open, axial, and selective. The findings demonstrate that CBT sustainability is not an inherent byproduct of community participation but an emergent institutional process. We propose a novel conceptual advancement: the CBT Institutional Resilience Framework, integrating three interdependent pillars: collaborative governance, social entrepreneurship, and institutional harmonization. This framework shifts the theoretical focus from utilitarian participation toward "Institutional Commoning," anchored in Adaptive Governance Theory. The synthesis reveals a triadic logic: while collaborative structures provide the foundation for multi-stakeholder risk-sharing, social enterprise models function as the essential economic engine for self-reliance. Crucially, institutional harmonization is identified as the vital mediator required to mitigate policy fragmentation and the digital divide. By bridging the gap between national regulations and local sovereignty, this study situates "local ownership" as an emergent outcome of institutional alignment. These findings offer a theoretically grounded roadmap for transitioning from donor-dependent projects to resilient, community-owned entities in post-crisis tourism landscapes.]]>

<![CDATA[This study advances tourism waste scholarship by introducing the Socio-Technical Regenerative Tourism Waste Model (STR-TWM), a framework that maps the transition from linear, disposal-oriented practices toward circular, technology-enabled, and socially embedded systems. Despite the growing urgency of waste challenges in tourism, existing literature remains fragmented, often focusing on isolated technical or policy solutions. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 47 peer-reviewed journal articles (2020–2025) following PRISMA guidelines, this study examines the evolution of Sustainable Waste Management (SWM) models, particularly within the geographically complex context of Southeast Asia. Findings identify a paradigm shift from disposal-centric approaches toward hybrid models that integrate Circular Economy (CE) principles, Industry 4.0-based smart technologies, and stakeholder-integrated governance. The proposed STR-TWM conceptualizes SWM as a regenerative system in which digital transparency enables circular material flows, anchored within community-based governance structures. While policy incentives and technological affordability drive this transition, it remains constrained by archipelagic logistical fragmentation and behavioral compliance gaps. Managerially, the study provides strategic guidance for policymakers and destination managers seeking to operationalize zero-waste pathways. By synthesizing diverse technological and social subsystems, this review offers a coherent roadmap for advancing regenerative tourism systems.]]>

<![CDATA[The tourism industry is highly vulnerable to shifting global demographics and unprecedented crises, making strategic human resource management and talent retention critical for organizational resilience and competitive advantage. Despite its strategic importance, research on talent management (TM) within this specific sector remains fragmented and lacks a solid theoretical foundation. To address this gap, this study conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to consolidate empirical evidence on TM applications in the tourism industry and proposes a comprehensive multi-level framework encompassing TM practices, determinants, and results. Guided by the PRISMA framework, 30 peer-reviewed articles sourced from the Scopus database were systematically selected and critically analyzed. The synthesis reveals that current TM research in tourism predominantly focuses on practical, objective methods for advancing talent management systems. Notably, 80% of the reviewed publications focus narrowly on exploring and assessing organizational TM improvements, while only 6 studies integrate crucial strategic elements, such as knowledge management and broader talent development. By highlighting these conceptual blind spots, this review emphasizes the urgent need to transition from traditional HR functions to resilient, knowledge-based talent ecosystems. The proposed framework provides actionable insights for industry practitioners to enhance talent management strategies and outlines a robust agenda for future academic inquiry.]]>

<![CDATA[Community-based tourism (CBT) is transitioning from passive local participation to active entrepreneurial empowerment amidst global crises and rapid digitalization. To address the fragmented understanding of this paradigm shift, this Systematic Literature Review (SLR) adheres to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, synthesizing 40 high-impact Scopus articles published between 2016 and 2026. This study explores the critical intersection of digital transformation, socio-economic resilience, and entrepreneurial empowerment within rural destinations. The findings reveal a dual-edged nature of digitalization: while e-tourism platforms empower micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by bypassing traditional intermediaries, they risk exacerbating the local digital divide without robust grassroots capacity building. Furthermore, the synthesis demonstrates that post-crisis destination resilience relies heavily on diversifying livelihood portfolios and leveraging cultural heritage rather than mere financial reconstruction. Ultimately, this review proposes the Regenerative Smart CBT Framework, establishing that technological adoption and sustainable leadership must be directly mediated by localized entrepreneurship. This structural mediation is essential to evolve CBT from a basic conservation strategy into a proactive engine for ecological regeneration and long-term socio-economic resilience.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the complex structural and psychological mechanisms that translate Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) into employee eco-behavior and organizational environmental performance within eco-resorts. Grounded in the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) framework and Affective Events Theory, this research proposes and tests a dual-path sequential mediation model. Utilizing a quantitative cross-sectional design, data collected from 350 full-time eco-resort employees were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The empirical results confirm that GHRM acts as a robust catalyst, significantly enhancing both organizational environmental culture and green human capital. Crucially, the findings reveal that GHRM exerts no direct effect on environmental passion, indicating that formal HR policies are emotionally sterile in isolation. Instead, affective activation requires full mediation; passion is only ignited through a supportive green culture and the cognitive empowerment of human capital. Ultimately, this sequential transmission—from HR policies to culture, capability, passion, and behavior—significantly elevates macro-level environmental performance. This study provides critical insights for regenerative tourism, demonstrating that environmental excellence requires holistically engineering an organization's cultural and cognitive ecosystem.]]>

<![CDATA[The rapid smartization of the tourism industry, driven by generative artificial intelligence (AI), has redefined the competencies required for future technopreneurs, yet the mechanism through which digital preparedness translates into sustainable outcomes remains under-researched in vocational contexts. This study proposes and tests a serial mediation model examining the interplay between digital foundations (literacy and self-efficacy), AI-augmented Ideation, ethical awareness, and sustainable business model innovation (SBMI). Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 200 vocational tourism students in Indonesia and analyzed via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that digital literacy and AI self-efficacy significantly drive technopreneurial readiness only when sequentially mediated by creative Ideation and strategic filters. Specifically, the path from AI-augmented Ideation to technopreneurship is optimized through the serial role of Ethical AI Awareness and SBMI, illustrating that technological efficiency must be balanced with normative responsibility and value reconfiguration. These findings have critical implications for vocational higher education, suggesting that curricula must move beyond technical training to foster the ethical and strategic capabilities necessary for a resilient, green hospitality ecosystem.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the strategic mechanisms that drive traditional travel agencies to pivot their business models in response to relentless digital disintermediation. By integrating Service-Dominant (S-D) Logic and Dynamic Capabilities theory, the research evaluates how internal orientations and collaborative processes enable traditional intermediaries to reclaim market relevance as Experience Architects. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 200 owners, directors, and senior managers of traditional travel agencies across Indonesia's primary tourism hubs. To ensure statistical rigor, the sample size was validated using G*Power 3.1, confirming its adequacy for detecting medium effect sizes within the complex structural model. The proposed structural model was assessed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS), supplemented by an Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) to identify critical strategic priorities. The results demonstrate that while Digital Capability serves as a necessary operational foundation, it is not the primary driver of a strategic transformation. Instead, Value Co-Creation and Strategic Flexibility are found to be the dominant catalysts for a successful Business Model Pivot. Specifically, Value Co-Creation exerts a substantial influence, reinforcing the argument that a successful pivot is a relational achievement rooted in human-tech synergy rather than a purely technological one. Furthermore, the results confirm that a structured Business Model Pivot leads to a significant and sustained Competitive Advantage. This research contributes to the tourism management literature by providing a novel framework that bridges entrepreneurial intent with co-creative execution. It offers a practical roadmap for traditional travel agencies to transition from legacy ticketing brokers to specialized experience architects within a smarter tourism ecosystem.]]>

<![CDATA[Gastronomic tourism has evolved from a supplementary activity into a primary driver of destination satisfaction and tourist behavior. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework, this research examines the mechanical transition from internal psychological traits to sustained destination loyalty. Specifically, the study investigates the structural relationships between Food Involvement (FI), Perceived Authenticity (PA), Gastronomic Sensory Appeal (GSA), Destination Experiential Performance (DEP), Gastronomic Place Attachment (GPA), and Revisit Intention (RI). Utilizing a quantitative, cross-sectional design, data were collected from 300 tourists in Bandung, Indonesia, and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that all seven hypothesized relationships are statistically supported. Food involvement serves as a potent internal stimulus that dictates the intensity of both cognitive authenticity and sensory appraisals. These organismic states collectively determine the experiential performance of the destination, which functions as the primary bridge to forming emotional place attachment and revisit intentions. Notably, the findings reveal that while sensory appeal provides physiological gratification, the cognitive validation of authenticity remains the dominant driver of experiential performance for highly involved tourists, functioning as an application of their gastronomic literacy. These insights provide a strategic framework for Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) to leverage culinary heritage as a tool for building destination brand equity and long-term tourist loyalty.]]>
