Abstract

This study offers a thorough examination of online reviews to gain insights into visitor opinions and experiences at Kuta Beach, a renowned tourist attraction in Bali, Indonesia. Using advanced techniques in sentiment analysis and data analytics, the research investigates 3,726 online reviews from January 2016 until October 2023, carefully analysing the content and emotional tone of each review. The research indicates that Kuta Beach is generally well-regarded, with a median review rating of 5 and a mean sentiment polarity of 0.41. However, there are significant issues raised about cleanliness and overcrowding. Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) has identified cleanliness and crowdedness as important factors that impact visitor satisfaction. The findings of the study indicate that it is vital to address these concerns in order to improve the visitor experience and maintain the beach's popularity. In addition, the research provides valuable suggestions for enhancing visitor satisfaction, including addressing overcrowding, improving cleanliness, and fostering connections with local communities to promote sustainable tourism development. This analysis not only offers a glimpse into current visitor experiences but also enhances our understanding of consumer sentiments in the age of the internet, which is crucial for effective tourism management and marketing strategies.

Abstract

Ecotourism is perceived as a promising initiative capable of poverty alleviation and job creation. This study investigated whether ecotourism helps to alleviate poverty and unemployment in relatively underdeveloped areas such as the UMkhanyakude district municipality. The study used a parallel, convergent research design comprising qualitative and quantitative research applications. Both random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select a sample of 204. In selecting respondents for the quantitative dimension, two types of databases obtained from each of the local municipalities were used. The first database comprised community registers, and the second included a list of companies registered with the municipality’s supply chain or procurement unit. Specifically, the criteria used to select participants included expertise, understanding of ecotourism programme implementation processes, skills, and proximity to ecotourism projects. Four (n = 4) officials and four (n = 4) program managers, for a total of eight, were selected from each of the four local municipalities. This resulted in a combined purposive sample of 32 participants (8 x 4 = 32) for the interviews. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed to analyse quantitative data. The qualitative data were processed through the ATLAS TI application. From the results, it can be deduced that, to a greater extent, ecotourism is contributing towards the reduction of poverty and unemployment in UMkhanyakude District Municipality. Based on the results, it can be concluded that ecotourism has the potential to reduce poverty and unemployment in rural communities in line with the dimensions of sustainable development goals. Benchmarking activities that focus on community roles and responsibilities, awareness-building strategies at the community level, stakeholder consultation and involvement, and capacity-building programmes are recommended.
