Abstract

Understanding the factors that influence visitor decisions is crucial for enhancing the competitiveness of cultural heritage tourism. This study examines the effects of attraction attributes, amenities, accessibility, and motivation on visitors’ decisions to visit heritage destinations. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 163 respondents using simple random sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS to test the relationships among the variables, complemented by perception mapping to identify priority areas for improvement. The results reveal that attraction attributes, amenities, and accessibility have significant positive effects on visit decisions, while motivation does not show a statistically significant impact. Additionally, the perception map indicates that several key indicators require management attention, particularly in enhancing accessibility and certain service facilities. The findings suggest that destination managers should focus on improving infrastructure and maintaining core attractions to sustain visitor interest. This study contributes to the understanding of visitor behavior in heritage tourism and offers practical implications for destination development and strategic planning.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of store atmosphere and product quality on consumer purchase decisions in the context of coffee shop consumption, with a case study on Kava Coffee & Eatery 2.0 in Mataram, Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation from a sample of 100 respondents selected using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. The analysis employed multiple linear regression, descriptive statistics, and hypothesis testing (t-test and F-test). The results reveal that both store atmosphere and product quality significantly affect consumer purchasing decisions when tested simultaneously. However, in partial testing, only product quality demonstrates a statistically significant positive influence, while store atmosphere has a comparatively weaker effect. Product quality emerges as the dominant factor shaping consumer decision-making at Kava Coffee & Eatery 2.0. These findings underscore the critical role of consistent product excellence in fostering consumer loyalty, suggesting that coffee shop managers should prioritize product innovation and quality enhancement to maintain competitive advantage.

Abstract

As emotionally-intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into tourism experiences, its role in shaping cultural engagement warrants deeper exploration. This study investigates how AI emotional recognition and AI-driven cultural storytelling influence tourists’ emotional engagement, perceived cultural authenticity, and overall satisfaction in Taiwan’s heritage tourism context. Drawing on affective computing theory and narrative transportation, the research employs a cross-sectional survey of 235 tourists across three AI-enhanced cultural sites. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the findings reveal that both AI features significantly enhance emotional engagement, which in turn mediates their effects on authenticity and satisfaction. Perceived authenticity emerges as the strongest predictor of tourist satisfaction, especially in Indigenous heritage sites. Furthermore, tourists with higher cultural interest experience stronger authenticity outcomes from emotionally engaging encounters. These results underscore AI’s potential not only as a functional tool but as an affective co-creator of meaning in cultural tourism. The study contributes to tourism theory by integrating emotional responsiveness into smart tourism discourse and offers practical guidance for AI system design in heritage interpretation.

Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review of academic research published between 2013 and 2023, focusing on the role of local community participation in sustainable tourism. Using the PRISMA 2020 protocol, a total of 111 peer-reviewed journal articles were identified from Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. The synthesis reveals five key thematic areas: participation mechanisms and governance structures, economic empowerment and livelihood diversification, cultural identity and heritage, barriers to meaningful participation, and long-term sustainability through community resilience. The findings show that while community participation is widely promoted in policy and academic discourse, its actual implementation varies greatly in depth and effectiveness. Genuine participation characterized by co-management, local ownership, and inclusive governance leads to improved socio-economic outcomes and greater resilience. However, many initiatives remain tokenistic, hindered by elite dominance, lack of technical capacity, and institutional constraints. Cultural commodification also emerges as a risk when local voices are excluded from decision-making. This review contributes to the literature by offering a decade-long synthesis of how community participation is conceptualized and applied in sustainable tourism. It also highlights practical implications for policymakers, NGOs, and tourism planners. Strengthening local governance and long-term institutional support is essential to ensure that tourism development is both inclusive and sustainable.

Abstract

This study explores the geotourism potential of Teletubbies Hill in Wukirharjo Village, Yogyakarta, through detailed topographical and geomorphological mapping. Employing a terrestrial survey method using Total Station instruments, the research generates high-resolution elevation data to assess landforms and slopes shaped by ancient volcanic processes associated with the Semilir Supervolcano. Morphographic and morphometric analyses reveal that the site consists of structural hills with slopes ranging from 8% to 20%, categorized into two development zones based on slope steepness. The findings support the suitability of Teletubbies Hill for sustainable geotourism initiatives that combine education, recreation, and conservation. Proposed developments include the construction of a geological museum and an outdoor geological park to highlight the region's volcanic heritage and geological features. This integrated approach offers a framework for transforming underutilized landscapes into educational geotourism destinations. While the reliance on terrestrial methods limits broader geological context, future research could incorporate remote sensing and socio-economic feasibility assessments to enhance planning outcomes.
