Abstract

This study explores the characteristics of Generation Z in engaging with yoga and meditation practices, examines the role of wellness practitioners in attracting their interest, and proposes strategic approaches for designing appealing and meaningful wellness experiences. Given Generation Z’s growing influence on lifestyle and wellness consumption, understanding their preferences and behavioral patterns is essential for the sustainable development of the wellness industry. This study adopts a qualitative research design, employing multiple data collection methods to enhance data richness and credibility. Data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews with eight yoga and meditation practitioners, complemented by focus group discussions (FGDs) and a review of relevant literature. The findings indicate that Generation Z constitutes a distinctive and strategically important market segment characterized by strong engagement with digital platforms and social media trends. While they demonstrate high levels of curiosity toward wellness activities, they are also easily distracted and tend to seek novel, visually appealing, and socially interactive experiences. Group-based activities, immersive environments, and experiences that integrate aesthetic and technological elements are particularly effective in capturing their interest. The study further reveals that practitioners who are able to adapt their teaching styles, communication strategies, and program designs to align with Generation Z’s digital-oriented lifestyle and values are more likely to attract and retain this demographic as a primary target in the wellness market. These findings offer practical insights for wellness practitioners and industry stakeholders in developing innovative, Gen Z–oriented yoga and meditation experiences that balance authenticity, engagement, and sustainability.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose : This study aims to examine tourists’ assessments of the quality of Loloh Terteran, a traditional Balinese beverage made from terter leaves (Solanum erianthum), and to identify which product attributes most strongly shape perceived quality in a culinary tourism context. Design/methodology/approach The research employed a descriptive quantitative design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 60 respondents. Consumer assessment was measured using six indicators—price, colour, taste, aroma, perceived benefits, and packaging—rated on a Likert scale. The data were analysed using mean score calculations and interval class interpretation to determine the strength of consumer evaluations. Findings : The overall mean score of 4.24 indicates a very positive evaluation of Loloh Terteran. Colour achieved the highest rating, followed by price, aroma, and taste, all falling within the “strongly agree” category, suggesting that visual appeal, affordability, and sensory attributes constitute the product’s primary strengths. Perceived benefits were rated “agree,” indicating general recognition of functional value. Packaging received a “neutral” rating, highlighting it as the weakest attribute and a potential constraint for market competitiveness. Research limitations/implications : This study is limited by its sample size and focus on a single tourism village. Future research could involve larger samples and comparative studies across destinations. Practically, the findings imply that improving packaging design and informational labeling could enhance product positioning while maintaining traditional authenticity. Keywords: consumer assessmen, traditional beverages, culinary touris, Loloh Terteran, product quality.

Abstract

Purpose : This study aims to analyze the implementation of community-based waste management through Bank Sampah Tarhilala and to examine its role in supporting sustainable tourism development in Toba Regency, part of Indonesia’s Lake Toba Super Priority Tourism Destination. The study also seeks to identify the environmental, social, and economic contributions of the waste bank, as well as the challenges that affect its effectiveness in the tourism context. Design/methodology/approach : This research employed a qualitative descriptive- analytical approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, field observations, questionnaires, and documentation. The analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation. Findings : The results indicate that Bank Sampah Tarhilala has implemented a systematic waste management process, including waste sorting, collection, processing, and distribution, supported by multi-stakeholder partnerships involving local government, tourism actors, private companies, and local communities. The waste bank manages an average of 7–8 tons of waste per month, contributing to a reduction in regional waste volume and improved environmental cleanliness in tourism areas around Lake Toba. In addition, the initiative supports circular economy practices, provides additional income opportunities for local communities, and enhances public awareness of sustainable waste management. Research limitations/implications : This study is limited by its qualitative approach and reliance on subjective perceptions of informants. Future research is recommended to apply quantitative or mixed-method approaches to measure financial performance and long-term impacts more comprehensively. Practically, the findings imply that strengthening institutional capacity, continuous environmental education,and cross-sector collaboration are essential to maximize the role of community-based waste banks in supporting sustainable tourism destinations. Keywords: Community-based waste management, waste bank, sustainable tourism, circular economy, Toba Regency

The development of tourism in Canggu Village has shown significant changes that affect socio-cultural conditions as well as the environment. This study aims to identify the positive and negative impacts of tourism development on the socio-cultural conditions of the local community and on environmental conditions in Canggu Village. This research employs a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis. The sampling technique used was proportional sampling and purposive sampling, involving 100 respondents. Data were collected through a survey using questionnaires, supported by interviews to strengthen the data, as well as documentation. The results indicate that the most significant positive socio-cultural impact perceived by the community is the emergence of a sense of pride in local products and cultural arts that are appreciated by tourists. Meanwhile, the most significant positive environmental impact is the implementation of waste management activities resulting from tourism development in Canggu Village. On the other hand, the community also perceives negative impacts, including the modification of local arts to attract increasing tourist visits, as well as environmental impacts, particularly traffic congestion.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of TikTok social media on the visiting intention of domestic tourists to the Kladi Glamping tourism destination in Kintamani, Bangli Regency. The influence of social media is examined both simultaneously and partially through five dimensions of social media engagement, namely Participation, Openness, Conversation, Community, and Connectedness. This research employs a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression analysis method using SPSS software as the analytical tool. Data were collected from 125 domestic tourists who had accessed or interacted with TikTok content related to the Kladi Glamping destination. The results of the analysis indicate that TikTok social media has a significant positive influence on tourists’ visiting intention. This is evidenced by a t-value of 8.855, which exceeds the t-table value of 1.979, and a significance level of 0.000, which is lower than the threshold of 0.05. These findings demonstrate that TikTok serves as an effective promotional medium in shaping tourists’ interest and intention to visit glamping destinations, particularly among domestic tourists. Furthermore, the frequency analysis of each construct reveals that while TikTok content has successfully attracted attention and engagement, there remain aspects that require improvement, especially in terms of physical environmental arrangement and service quality at the destination. Therefore, it is recommended that destination managers optimize the use of TikTok by presenting more informative, interactive, and authentic content, while simultaneously improving on-site facilities and services to enhance tourists’ overall experience. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of digital marketing strategies in tourism, particularly in utilizing social media platforms to increase tourist visitation to glamping destinations.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Prambanan Temple, as a world cultural heritage site, has great potential for the development of inclusive tourism. However, accessibility for people with disabilities in this area still faces various obstacles, both physical and non-physical. This study aims to analyze accessibility needs that support inclusive tourism at Prambanan Temple using a qualitative approach through field observations, interviews, and literature reviews. The results indicate that while basic facilities such as ramps, adaptive toilets, audio guides, and mobile apps are available, not all areas of the temple are optimally accessible to people with disabilities. Limitations such as access to the temple courtyard, lack of tactile and visual information, and insufficient staff training are the main barriers. Through comparative analysis with international destinations like the Sydney Opera House and Angkor Wat, it was found that strengthening policies, applying universal design principles, and involving the disability community are key to the success of inclusive tourism. Strategic recommendations include developing adaptive infrastructure, improving accessible information services, and training staff to be responsive to the needs of visitors with disabilities. This research is expected to serve as an empirical foundation for realizing Prambanan Temple as an inclusive and socially just cultural destination. Keywords: accessibility, people with disabilities, inclusive tourism, Prambanan Temple

Abstract

This study examines how the local community perceives Keraton Solo as a cultural tourism attraction, with particular attention to cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions of perception. Understanding local perceptions is essential, as community attitudes play a critical role in the sustainability and authenticity of heritage tourism destinations. This study adopts a quantitative research design, employing a structured questionnaire distributed to 150 local residents living in and around the Keraton Solo area. The collected data were analyzed using the Importance–Performance Analysis (IPA) method, which enables the identification and prioritization of destination attributes based on their perceived importance and actual performance. The findings indicate that environmental quality, ticket pricing, and spatial attractiveness are considered highly important by local residents but are perceived to perform below expectations, suggesting the need for immediate managerial and policy interventions. In contrast, attributes related to guide performance and overall visitor satisfaction are identified as key strengths that should be maintained and enhanced. Interestingly, no attributes were classified as unimportant, highlighting a strong emotional, cultural, and historical attachment of the local community to Keraton Solo. This study is limited to local community perspectives and does not incorporate the views of tourists, policymakers, or other relevant stakeholders. Future research is therefore encouraged to include a wider range of stakeholder perspectives to support more inclusive, participatory, and effective heritage tourism planning and management strategies.
