Abstract

The acceleration of digital transformation in tourism has intensified the need for destinations to adopt advanced technologies to enhance competitiveness and visitor experience. While emerging narratives such as “quantum tourism” have gained attention, the concept remains theoretically ambiguous and empirically underexplored. This study aims to critically examine the role of advanced digital technologies in Bali’s event tourism ecosystem and to reassess the conceptual validity of “quantum tourism” within a smart destination framework. A qualitative-dominant mixed-method approach was employed, combining questionnaire data (n = 101) with semi-structured interviews and field observations involving key tourism stakeholders. The findings indicate that while digital technologies—particularly mobile platforms and Internet of Things (IoT)—are widely adopted (92.1%), stakeholders demonstrate limited understanding of advanced technological paradigms labeled as “quantum.” This study reframes “quantum tourism” as a metaphorical construct reflecting complexity, interconnectivity, and adaptive systems rather than a distinct technological domain. Managerial implications emphasize the need for realistic digital strategies, capacity building, and evidence-based technology adoption.

Abstract

This study integrates the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) frameworks to provide a holistic understanding of community-based tourism in the Tamansari tourism village, Banyuwangi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 informants, including representatives from Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), five local MSMEs, and two tourism attraction managers, supported by document analysis of revenue and visitor statistics. To enhance measurability, the study applies the OSOI framework, which analyzes asset categories in tourism development. Five asset categories were assessed: natural (82%), human (84%), social (92%), physical (72%), and financial (68%). The findings highlight three key pillars driving the tourism village: Tamansari BUMDes, Lunyau Coffee agrotourism, and Sendang Seruni spiritual tourism. These entities play significant roles in organizing tourism activities and fostering community participation. Based on the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) concept, Tamansari Tourism Village is currently in the development stage, characterized by infrastructure expansion and institutional strengthening. This study demonstrates that qualitative data can be transformed into quantifiable indicators, offering a more structured evaluation approach. Furthermore, the integration of ABCD, SLA, and TALC provides a novel analytical framework. ABCD provides the lens for asset mobilization, SLA evaluates the sustainability of livelihood outcomes, and TALC situates these processes within the temporal dynamics of destination development. It contributes to the theoretical advancement of community capability frameworks, particularly in strengthening local institutions and promoting livelihood diversification. While context-specific, this approach offers insights Although the findings are context-specific, this approach offers practical insights for future comparative studies on sustainable tourism village development.

Abstract

Ideally, prospective visitors have comprehensive mapping about the nature of edutourism in Lombok. However, information regarding forms of edutourism, activities in the destinations, motivations of visitors and management challenges are limited. In accordance with its urgency, this current study ‘aimed’ at exploring: 1) The forms of edutourism available in Lombok; 2) facilities that supported the edutorism; 3) tourists’ motivations; and 4) management constraints and challenges. This study is a descriptive exploratory survey that maps 13 educational tourism destinations in Lombok, involving 1–2 management staff at each destination and 23 visitors (including 17 students). Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed qualitatively: Classification, coding, reduction, and synthesis to generate conclusions and destination rankings. Edutourism in Lombok reflects educative practices. Although destinations offer nature-based and cultural experiences, uneven educational facilities and limited human resources reduce their effectiveness. Tourists are motivated by both learning and leisure, while challenges such as poor infrastructure, environmental issues, and weak management hinder development. Overall, Lombok’s strong potential requires a shift toward more structured, learning-centered, and sustainable edutourism. Theoretically, this current study improves tourists’ understanding of edutourism, ranking of activities of edutourism, visitors’ motivations and management challenges. Practically, those provide a basis for innovation in edutourism activities and tourism education; expand partnerships between universities and tourism destination managers, increases socio-economic and employment opportunities; and  support sustainable tourism programs. Implicationally, it requires further collaborations and management professionalism.

Abstract

Infrastructure is a key driver of regional development that supports economic growth, social welfare, and the competitiveness of local tourist destinations. However, it is often not fully realized in various tourist destinations, such as in Magelang Regency. This study aims to measure the Tourism Infrastructure Service Satisfaction Index (IKLI) in Sawangan and Kaliangkrik Subdistricts, Magelang Regency. The research method employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches, with the population consisting of residents, visitors, infrastructure users, and tourism managers. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, comprising 300 respondents across 17 tourist sites. Data collection involved questionnaires, interviews, and field surveys. The IKLI dimensions consist of four categories of satisfaction levels: accessibility, tourism facilities, public facilities, and supporting infrastructure. Data analysis used a 1–4 likert scale for each IKLI parameter. The IKLI scores indicated the highest satisfaction level for supporting infrastructure (3.04/C), while tourism facilities (2.67/C) and public facilities (2.64/C) had nearly identical scores (less satisfactory). Meanwhile, the lowest level of satisfaction was found in accessibility (2.55/D), caused by narrow roads and damaged road surfaces leading to several destinations, such as Nepal Van Java, Silancur Highland, Mangli Skyview, and Negeri Khayangan. These findings highlight the need for targeted infrastructure improvements, particularly in accessibility, public facilities, and tourism facilities, to support sustainable tourism development.

Abstract

Urban coastal destinations face mounting pressures from environmental degradation, infrastructure limitations, and fragmented governance, while the application of regenerative tourism in dense metropolitan contexts remains limited. This study examines how regenerative urban tourism can be strategically developed in North Jakarta. The study applies a stepwise approach: a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify key concepts, followed by focus group discussions (FGDs) with stakeholders, such as government, tourism managers, community representatives, and MSMEs, to capture local conditions, the results are then evaluated using IFE–EFE matrices and synthesized through a TOWS analysis to formulate strategies. The findings indicate that North Jakarta has relatively strong internal capacity (IFE = 3.04) and a favorable external environment (EFE = 3.16), placing it in a “grow and build” position. Strategic priorities include developing eco-tourism and urban farming based on community greening initiatives, strengthening interactive cultural and heritage-based tourism, enhancing MSME digital capacity, and addressing environmental and infrastructure constraints such as waste management, flooding, and accessibility. This study contributes by demonstrating how regenerative tourism principles can be operationalized in an urban–coastal setting, offering a structured basis for strategy formulation in similar metropolitan destinations. Overall, the research emphasizes the need for integrative, community-driven, and climate-adaptive approaches that align ecological restoration with cultural continuity and inclusive economic growth.

Abstract

The phenomenon of supermarket tourism has emerged as a new dimension of contemporary tourism, yet research on supermarkets as providers of authentic souvenirs remains limited. This study aims to investigate the influence of souvenir authenticity and collaborative shopping experiences on tourist shopping satisfaction in Indonesia. Using a case study design at representative supermarkets in key destinations (Pasarina in Jakarta, Hokky in Surabaya, and Pepito and Bintang in Bali), the study employs a quantitative approach. Data were collected through purposive sampling from 200 domestic tourists and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) through SmartPLS 3.2.9. The findings indicate that souvenir authenticity and collaborative shopping experiences positively and significantly influence shopping satisfaction. These results suggest that supermarkets in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bali are becoming culinary tourism destinations by curating authentic local products, such as artisan chocolate in Jakarta, culinary heritage products Spikoe and Blouder in Surabaya, and geographically based coffee and cocoa in Bali, while offering experiential activities. Managerial implications suggest that integrating local culture into modern retail strategies can enhance destination competitiveness.

Abstract

This study analyzes the economic characteristics of local communities, the influence of 5A-based tourism development on local economic growth, and the environmental impacts of tourism activities in the Koanara and Mulut Seribu tourist destinations, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. This study used a mixed-methods approach with a concurrent embedded design. Data were collected from 97 respondents through purposive sampling and 10 key informants through snowball sampling. Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis with the SmartPLS 3.0 program was used to test five hypotheses regarding the influence of attractions, accessibility, accommodation, amenities, and awareness on community economic development. The results showed that local communities play a role as business owners (56%) and workers (44%), with 95% of business ownership coming from local residents. Most respondents reported increased income (80%) and improved family economic conditions (81%) after being involved in tourism businesses. The statistical test results prove that the five 5A components have a significant influence on the economic development of local communities (T-statistic > 1.96; p-value < 0.05), with the model able to explain 97.2% of the community's economic variance (R² = 0.972). The environmental impact analysis shows a more dominant positive influence, including improvements in physical infrastructure and socio-cultural preservation, although land conversion for accommodation and changes in social values ​​are important notes. These findings confirm that integrated tourism development based on 5A substantially contributes to local economic sustainability while still requiring strategic management to mitigate adverse environmental impacts.

Abstract

Despite Bali’s millennia-long history of tourism development, understanding the competitiveness of its beach tourism destinations remains limited. Moreover, the island’s relatively small size has led many beach destinations to be located in close proximity to one another, offering similar attractions, activities, and management practices, which may blur their differentiation. This study aims to compare the competitiveness of three closely located beach tourism destinations—Pandawa Beach, Melasti Beach, and Uluwatu Beach—to examine whether significant differences exist among them. It also investigates whether the influence of the indicators used to measure tourism competitiveness differs across these destinations. Adopting a quantitative approach, data were collected from 258 international tourists using a validated self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to profile respondents and to reveal their perceived competitiveness for each destination, while multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to compare the effects of competitiveness indicators across the three destinations. The findings reveal significant differences in overall competitiveness among the three destinations, with Melasti Beach outperforming Pandawa and Uluwatu across most indicators. The results also indicate that certain competitiveness indicators exert varying effects on overall competitiveness across the destinations, while others show no significant influence. These findings suggest that even geographically proximate beach destinations can exhibit distinct competitiveness profiles. The study concludes with implications for destination management and offers recommendations for enhancing the competitiveness of beach tourism destinations in Bali. This study contributes to the limited empirical understanding of micro-level destination competitiveness in spatially concentrated tourism settings.

Abstract

Marine tourism increasingly relies on experience-based coastal activities, and snorkeling has become one of the most accessible forms of special interest tourism in coral-reef destinations. However, the attractiveness of a snorkeling site cannot be assessed only through scenery; it also depends on destination readiness, safety, interpretation, and management capacity. This study examines Blue Lagoon Beach in Padangbai, Karangasem, Bali, with two objectives: first, to assess its feasibility as a special interest snorkeling destination through the 4A framework (attraction, amenities, accessibility, and ancillary services); and second, to analyse the characteristics of snorkeling activities and their implications for sustainable marine tourism. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design based on field observation, semi-structured interviews with local tourism actors and community stakeholders, and documentary review. Data were analysed thematically through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Blue Lagoon possesses strong natural attractiveness, adequate tourism amenities, relatively convenient accessibility, and supporting ancillary services that make the destination operationally viable. Its snorkeling product is strengthened by calm shallow waters, local guide assistance, and learning opportunities related to reef etiquette and marine conservation. At the same time, the study indicates the need for stronger interpretive materials, visitor management, and conservation-sensitive governance to reduce ecological risk as visitation grows. The article argues that Blue Lagoon should be positioned not merely as a generic beach attraction, but as a community-based special interest marine destination whose competitiveness depends on balancing visitor experience with coral reef protection.
