Abstract

Mangrove tourism can create conservation finance, local employment, and environmental-learning opportunities, but visitor access and poorly located infrastructure may also damage roots, regeneration, sediment, and tidal connectivity. This study provides a transparent ecological baseline for low-impact tourism planning in Ekas Buana, East Lombok, Indonesia. It is a secondary reassessment of a field survey conducted at five stations from October to December 2018 and published in 2019; no new field measurements or tourism surveys were collected. Stage-specific importance value indices (IVI) were reconstructed from the published figures, while Shannon diversity, Pielou evenness, and Simpson diversity were recalculated from published relative-density proportions. Six mangrove species were recorded across all stages. Sonneratia alba dominated the tree layer (IVI 114.40%), whereas Rhizophora apiculata dominated saplings (84.31%) and seedlings (91.10%). Recalculated Shannon diversity was 1.481 for trees, 1.558 for saplings, and 1.234 for seedlings; evenness was 0.920, 0.968, and 0.890, respectively. The source survey reported sandy to sandy-mud substrate, salinity of 4.1–5.2‰, temperature of 29–31°C, and pH of 7.40–7.53. The shift in dominance among life stages supports differentiated spatial protection for mature stands and regeneration areas, but it does not establish temporal recovery or decline. We translate the baseline into a precautionary three-part planning logic: no-build conservation areas, a field-validated guided interpretation corridor, and landward visitor-service areas. Because plot-level, hydrological, visitor-flow, livelihood, and governance data are unavailable, the study does not claim present condition, tourism suitability, or carrying capacity. A renewed ecological and social baseline is therefore a prerequisite for infrastructure investment.

Abstract

Tourism destinations are not merely settings for recreation and consumption; they are relational arenas in which visitors, residents, workers, vendors, and managers interpret one another and negotiate acceptable conduct. This study examines how Bili Park, a family tourism destination in Gowa Regency, Indonesia, is socially produced through host-guest interaction and how cultural differences are negotiated in everyday encounters. A qualitative case-study design was used. Data were generated through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentary review involving visitors, local residents, destination managers, vendors, and tourism workers. The material was analysed iteratively through data selection, thematic grouping, cross-source comparison, interpretation, and conclusion drawing, with source and technique triangulation used to strengthen credibility. The findings identify five interconnected interactional repertoires: information exchange, service and hospitality, commercial exchange, shared use of facilities, and co-presence in recreational activities. These repertoires move along a continuum from instrumental contact to relational engagement. Cultural negotiation occurs primarily through micro-accommodations in language, forms of address, gesture, service style, spatial conduct, and responses to local norms. Such accommodations do not erase cultural difference; instead, they establish provisional conventions that make heterogeneous actors mutually intelligible within the destination. The study contributes to tourism sociology by linking the production of social space with symbolic interaction and cultural negotiation in a secondary Indonesian leisure destination. It also shows that destination quality depends not only on attractions and infrastructure but on the interactional conditions through which respect, comfort, and local participation are sustained.
Verified Digital Islamic Communication Builds Trust in Muslim-Friendly Tourism Edi Kurniawan

Abstract

Social media now mediates both travel planning and access to Islamic knowledge, yet destination promotion often treats religious credibility and tourism service claims as separate concerns. This article examines how digital Islamic communication can strengthen trust, inclusion, and accountability in Muslim-friendly tourism. An integrative review synthesized 35 journal articles, including 34 studies published between 2016 and 2026, across digital religion, halal tourism, and tourism communication. Sources were selected through structured Crossref and publisher-database searches and coded by authority, message quality, platform dynamics, tourist response, and governance implications. Platform reach does not produce trust by itself. Trust emerges when religious sources are identifiable, halal service claims are auditable, English and local-language messages preserve contextual meaning, commercial relationships are disclosed, and host communities retain voice in destination narratives. The synthesis yields a five-gate Verified Digital Islamic Tourism Communication framework that links message qualification to destination image and tourist behavior. Digital Islamic communication should be managed as a destination-governance function rather than a promotional add-on. Verification and cultural sensitivity must precede algorithmic amplification.
