Amalgamation of Bio-Eco Culture for Sustainable Island Tourism Development

Tourism development can benefit from integrating biology, ecology, and cultural elements. Bio-Eco culture in tourism development emphasizes preserving and showcasing a destination’s unique natural and cultural assets. This approach recognizes that ecosystems and cultural assets are often intertwined and should be considered in developing sustainable tourism. However, tourism development activities often conflict with these efforts. A recent study shows that tourism development has been pursued independently, leading to an imbalance in tourism development. The situation in the study area is identical. Therefore, this study aims to enhance the relationship between cultural ecology and human behaviour as a tool for developing sustainable tourism. Jerejak Island, Penang was selected as a study area. A quantitative approach was applied, involving 150 tourists as respondents. The research identified the potential of tourism resources in the study area and investigated tourist typology through their behaviour. The study revealed a gap between conserving the island’s ecological and biological quality, neglecting the protection of heritage resources, and excessively meeting the needs of tourists. To achieve sustainable tourism development, it is necessary to address these three areas in parallel. It makes the Bio-Eco Cultural in tourism development approach suitable for the study area. Overall, the Bio-Eco cultural approach is also an effort to conserve local tourism resources.

Botswana’s New Tourism Policy of 2021 and Mantras of Citizen Empowerment and Product Diversification: A Case of Going Backward to Move Forward

Summary Botswana’s first tourism policy was published in 1990 as the first true attempt at formalizing tourism activities in the country. The policy advocated for a high-cost, low-volume (HC, LV) marketing approach for general tourism practice in Botswana. This policy position has received reviews from various stakeholders, some of whom decry its exclusionary consequences for both citizen entrepreneurs and travellers. In 2021, the Revised Tourism Policy was released following a lengthy review process dating back to 2008. The newly revised policy prescribes a high volume/mixed price strategy in recognition of the constraints embedded in the founding policy’s approach. To this end, the revised policy promises a more citizen-friendly tourism environment where local participation would be improved and benefits spread more equitably to citizens. While explicitly making pronouncements on how an increase in domestic travel shall be facilitated, as well as calling for local participation at the entrepreneurial level, two things remain unchanged. At most, the revised policy retains its predecessor’s government-centred approach as well as wildlife and wilderness-centred thinking. The government-centred dispensation is aptly captured in the policy as a government-led, private-sector-driven, and community-based tourism development approach. The current case addresses the challenges of a government-centred policy in the wake of citizen empowerment and participation in community-based tourism. Information © The Author 2023

The Important Factor Behind The Different Scales of Tourism Through CBT

Community-based tourism is a tourism development approach with a high level of local community involvement and can be accounted for by social and environmental aspects (Hayati, 2014). Umbul Ponggok is the Community Based Tourism in Klaten Regency and reaches national level tourism. Umbul Ponggok is developed by people through BUMDes and uses Dana Desa to fund it. On the other side, the small world is the regional Community-Based Tourism in Banyumas Regency and especially located in the Baturaden tourism area. This attraction is built and managed by the community through pokdarwis in the Baturaden Tourism Area. Based on that fact, the study aims to evaluate the main factor of CBT management, which produce the different levels and scale of tourist attraction. The research uses the deductive-qualitative-rationalistic paradigm. As a result, good promotion, learning exchange, and legal organization have a significant role to escalate the tourism level.

Pengelolaan Tinggalan Arkeologi: Kegiatan Pelestarian Sebagai Daya Tarik Wisata

Indonesia is one of the largest archipelagic countries in the world, one of which is rich in cultural diversity in the form of values, ideas, behaviors, and cultural heritage materials from the past to the present. Cultural diversity, such as archaeological remains, which is an asset for recording the development of historical and cultural values forming the identity of the Indonesian nation's civilization, has developed massively as a tourist attraction that can generate income. As a result, it have impact on increasing economic exploitation of archaeological remains by the government, local government, industry, and society. Which inturn often consciously or not causes problems besides causing degradation of historical and cultural values, as well as the existence of these archaeological remains. For this reason, the diversity of archaeological remains as a national asset is important to managed and preserved sustainably through a sustainable tourism development approach. Scientific articles that aim to provide ideas or concept solutions are like library research carried out through qualitative descriptive analysis methods by relying on the availability of secondary data and information relevant to the topic, both in print and electronic form, from various sources. Hopefully, this article can be input into the process of solving problems and making decisions needed by the government in formulating policies for managing archaeological remains in a sustainable and integrated manner to strengthen conservation efforts for the benefit of the people's welfare.

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN DRIVING EMPOWERMENT THROUGH TOURISM DEVELOPMENT (Case Study on Wayang Windu Panenjoan Tourism Destinations)

A tourism development approach that emphasizes community involvement can run optimally in the tourism development process. Tourism is organized with the principle of empowering local communities covering various aspects, such as human resources, destinations, and the utilization of natural and cultural resources. This is inseparable from community participation in the development of Wayang Windu Panenjoan tourist destinations. This study aims to identify the level of community participation in the development of tourist destinations in Wayang Windu Panenjoan, analyze the form of community participation in the development of Wayang Windu Panenjoan tourist destinations, and review the extent of community empowerment in Wayang Windu Panenjoan tourist destinations. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The research was conducted at the Wayang Windu Panenjoan tourist destination on the people who participated in the development of the Wayang Windu Panenjoan tourist destination and the surrounding community who became respondents with a total of 8 people. The data collection technique is conducted by interview and observation. The steps of data analysis carried out in this study are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. From the research, it was found that the community has reached the top of the ladder in the level of participation, also beyond the stage of passive involvement to play a more active role. The community participates in the form of thoughts, energy, thoughts and energy, expertise, goods, and money, and participates in the form of decision making, implementation, receiving benefits, and evaluation. Community participation in the development of Wayang Windu Panenjoan tourism destinations can encourage people to become more empowered. Not only the people who participated became more empowered, but the people around Wayang Windu Panenjoan also felt a good impact on their survival.

The Path from Traditional Fisheries to Ecotourism in Cimei Island

Cimei Island is a second-class outlying island. In recent years, due to the lack of coastal fishery resources and restrictions on traffic and climate, the traditional fishery and tourism industries that residents rely on for a living have faced challenges. This research is based on the Barbados Programme of Action, from the perspective of environmental conservation, industrial economy, and social development in sustainable development, and from the perspective of local stakeholders, to construct a sustainable tourism action approach and development mechanism in Cimei Island. A qualitative research method was adopted. Various sources of data, including focus discussions and in-depth interviews with local stakeholders, textual materials, and field observations, were collected and analyzed. The results are as follows: (1) Cimei faces great threats in social, economic, and environmental aspects, which has led to Cimei Islands’ promotion of permanent development. (2) The current development of Cimei cannot effectively drive industrial development or the transformation of fishing villages. However, residents are worried that overdevelopment will impact the ecological environment and lifestyle on the Islands. (3) Cimei’s sustainable tourism development approach should be to first take inventory of the ecological environment and cultural resources, plan related environmental laws and regulations, and finally, use sustainable tourism to drive industrial development to carry out island development.

Religious Reputation Culture: A Community Based Tourism Development Approach

Abstract The key to a thriving tourism industry is addressing how tourism can benefit society by increasing economic opportunities, supporting socio-cultural systems, and maintaining healthy ecosystems on which communities depend. The tourism industry can no longer focus solely on “how many” tourists visit a destination, or even “how much” money spent at one destination, as a measure of success. Sustainability can be effective if it is carried out by taking time and sustainable efforts, as well as adapting to changes that occur. In this study, the concept of historical heritage tourism and Resource-Based View is used which shows that culture and corporate reputation are seen as very valuable intangible assets. Historical heritage tourism is the key to sustainability. The development of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is very important for the sustainable development of tourism because historical tourism products can reflect historical values and stories while meeting the emotional needs of tourists.This study aims to explore a new approach in improving sustainable tourism destination development centered on the concept of religious reputation culture. Religious reputation culture is a set of structures, routines, rules, and norms that guide and limit behavior that distinguishes members of one organization from another and is used as a collective perception and assessment of the good name of a tourism destination.The new concept of religious reputation culture plays an important role when an organization engaged in the tourism industry is faced with a change in new habits. The contribution of this research is mainly to the study of reputation and religiosity that when a destination is faced with a different condition, tourists will look for a reputable destination. The pandemic condition encourages tourists to be more aware with a reputation that is halal, thoyib and safe. With the phenomenon of tourism 4.0 accompanied by tremendeous changes in costumer megashifts, tourist destinations must be able to explore and exploit existing knowledge to form a culture of religious reputation as the main capital in carrying out innovation strategies carried out by destinations in order to achieve sustainable destination performance. With a religious reputation culture, the Indonesian’s reputation as a safe, comfortable and competitive tourism destination needs to be continuously developed through various means, so that a positive image will continue to be raised and widely informed, to encourage tourists to have interest and motivation to visit Indonesia. Key word :Religious Reputation Culture; Sustainable Tourism Development; Community Based Tourism

ANALISIS MULTIPLIER EFFECT DAN PEMBANGUNAN BERKELANJUTAN PUSAT INFORMASI WISATA

The existence of the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center is an indicator of the seriousness of the government in tapping the potential of Lake Toba with the World-recognized National Geopark approach. Therefore, it is very interesting to explore the impact of the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center, especially for the surrounding community. On the one hand, the existence of the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center as one of the tourist information centers is a question of whether it is really needed, considering that tourists can now access digital information. Therefore this study seeks to see how the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center applies the principle of sustainable development to maintain its existence. This research method is a combination of the quantitative Keynesian Income Multiplier method and interview techniques with the sustainable tourism development approach of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) by combining practical principles. The results obtained show that economically, the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center has an encouraging impact on the number 1: 1.26, meaning that for each additional tourist expenditure of IDR 10,000, local income will increase by IDR 12,600. On the other hand, the Toba Caldera National Geopark Information Center has attempted to apply the principles of sustainable tourism development in view of the dimensions of business quality, social sustainability and environmental balance recommended by UNWTO, but improvements are needed for aspects of tourism facilities and activities.

From Conventional to Alternative Tourism: Rebalancing Tourism towards a Community-Based Tourism Approach in Hanoi, Vietnam

This article proposes an alternative tourism development approach that we have termed ‘rebalancing’, which is based on tourism development adopting Community-based Tourism (CBT) principles and characteristics whose hallmark is to give local control of the tourism sector to disadvantaged members of society. The article is based on extant literature and uses Hanoi as a case study to articulate the role of CBT against a backdrop of the growth and presence of large international hotel chains in Hanoi following the adoption of the Doi Moi policy. The increase in international hotel chains poses a high risk of an increase in leakages. The accommodation sub-sector and food sector are essential in tourism in Hanoi, as they are elsewhere. These provide small businesses the opportunity to participate in the name of inclusivity, empowerment, and poverty alleviation. For the authenticity of Hanoi and respecting its traditions and values, we propose a model of growth for Hanoi that includes food street vendors alongside large international hotel chains, large national (privately owned) hotels (nationally/locally owned), small independent national hotels (locally owned), bed and breakfast/guesthouse (locally owned), backpackers (locally owned), homestay (locally owned), ‘Albergo Diffuso’ (locally owned), LCBT accommodation (locally owned), CBT (Independently owned structures under an umbrella organization), and CBT (community-owned structures). It also suggests the retention of traditional architecture for the diversity and uniqueness of Hanoi. It recommends that the government should not promulgate legislation and policies that attempt to limit the scope of food street vending but rather empower food street vendors to grow and prosper. This should be done alongside specific legislation that sets minimum standards related to hygiene on the streets for inclusive growth and poverty alleviation.

Towards a Spontaneous Community Participation Model in Community-Based Tourism

This article proposes guidelines and themes related to the advancement of spontaneous community participation for community-based tourism (CBT). Community-based tourism has its own difficulties and challenges, however it can still be a valuable strategy to advance community development through tourism. Globally, CBT has been embraced as a tourism development approach in various geographical contexts. In South Africa the Government has published specific Operational guidelines for community-based tourism and reflects on community participation in tourism over the last decades. This paper does not intend to idealise CBT or deny the possible use of external assistance. However, it proposes a facilitative approach, as the base of spontaneous participation to positively favour community spontaneous participation in CBT. This article proposes a community participation model, based on the extrapolation of themes on spontaneous participation. The proposed model is flexible and adjustable to various contexts aimed for global relevance. This is a conceptual paper based on secondary data and was compiled from existing literature and online sources.

Power in community-based tourism: empowerment and partnership in Bali

In a tourism industry historically dominated by outside influences, the island of Bali has striven for greater local resident involvement. Community-based tourism (CBT) has thereby become an increasingly preferred tourism development approach rooted in promises of more inclusive opportunities for community empowerment, a notion reflected in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Drawing upon SDG17 – Partnerships for the Goals – and specifically focusing on SDG17.9 – Capacity building, SDG17.14 – Enhancing policy coherence for sustainable development, and SDG17.16 and SDG17.17 – Multi-stakeholder partnerships, this paper investigates the “social empowerment” that results from interactions between CBT actors, and the factors that support or hinder residents’ empowerment through CBT in rural Bali. This paper presents empirical evidence from an ethnographic study in three villages at different stages of tourism development. Through a generative conceptualisation of power, embedded in the rather hierarchical Balinese socio-cultural context, this paper contributes new understandings of empowerment in CBT, particularly the extent to which partnerships and collaborations create spaces for residents’ empowerment and greater inclusion for sustainable CBT development, in line with Agenda 2030.

STRATEGY OF TOURISM VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON LOCAL WISDOM

One of the current development alternatives is Tourism Development, mainly rural tourism. The fundamental problem is how the right strategy to achieve these development goals. The development of a tourism village can consider the potential of local, government, private, formal, and informal economic sectors and internal and external interest groups. This study seeks to reveal the right strategy in developing tourism in the village of Telaga Biru Bangkalan based on local resources. This study uses a literature review with a tourism development approach within a qualitative method frame. The data is in the form of interpretations of research results published in national and international journals that are analyzed descriptively to produce conclusions. The result of this study is the formulation of a form of tourism in a tour package that includes batik schools, traditional Madurese games, and traditional art performances, regional culinary specialties, and lodging with the Tanean Lanjhang concept. The Strategy for the Implementation of Batik Tourism Village program through stages, including First, increasing community capacity with knowledge as the main target of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) of the local community through community-based education and training activities (CBT). Second, human resource inventories for local guides, Batik school instructors, traditional Madurese game teams, Madurese culinary providers. Third, the institutionalization of tourism village management at the village level will be responsible for the sustainability of the tourism village. Fourth, the efforts of bridging and linking with the Bangkalan tourism office and investors. Fifth, cooperation with the travel agencies in Madura. Sixth, branding, and promotion through social media and tourism village websites. Implementing this strategy will create a new tourist destination, “Batik tourism village” in a different form and will increase the community economy and regional income.

Community-Based Tourism and Destination Attractiveness: From Theory to Practice

Community-based tourism (CBT) is an approach for tourism development that highlights the active participation of the community as a producer, owner, decision-maker in the tourism development of a destination. It has been considered as a sustainable tourism development orientation because it creates employment and increases income for local communities, making them more aware of the responsibility to preserve and enrich their local tourism resources. However, one of the crucial indicators of the sustainability of a CBT venture is commercial viability which is mostly influenced by destination attractiveness to the tourists. Firstly, this paper aims at identifying core attractive attributes from which CBT is frequently developed. A case-based study is carried out on thirty documented successful CBT practices in many parts of the world. From that, this paper points out five types of core attractive attribute of the destination on which CBT can be developed. Then, this paper will discuss how CBT can make a destination more attractive. Finally, the paper will suggest some actions for tourism policymakers of a CBT destination.

Reinventing tourism: the Dubai phenomenon

Purpose Dubai has been largely under-researched as a destination, particularly from a tourism perspective. Most current knowledge about the emirate tends to originate from broadcast media coverage, newspapers and business journals. Much of the recent academic research on the destination often positions Dubai in a broader development or management framework, resulting in what can be a narrow and largely western-oriented perspective that fails to highlight or identify many of the key issues underpinning its apparent success. Design/methodology/approach This research adopts an ethnographic approach based on the authors’ experiences in the destination and sets out to address this issue not only by presenting new information but also by analysing and explaining Dubai’s tourism development approach. Findings Some 40 years ago, Dubai was little more than a backwater tribal settlement, dependent on pearl fishing, trade and limited oil reserves. In 2018, it is now viewed as a futuristic city-state, rapidly expanding its global outreach and undertaking a range of high-profile development projects and acquisitions. The award of Expo 2020 has boosted government confidence in the sector with the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing planning to increase visitor numbers to 25 million by 2020 with an anticipated tripling of the associated economic benefit. However, despite its remarkable success, Dubai has been criticised for flying in the face of global sustainability trends and needs to think seriously about how it will manage the growth of its tourism industry. Originality/value Dubai has evolved to become one of the world’s leading tourism destinations, and it has done so despite our academic notions of sustainability, tourism planning, tourism resource requirements and demands for authenticity. This provides an opportunity for the authors to use Dubai as a vehicle through which to challenge these concepts and to move the established notions of “traditional” tourism thinking forward to acknowledge the value of alternative approaches to the creation of a tourism strategy.

Strategic Approach to Tourism Development in Namibia

Tourism is a powerful vehicle for economic growth and job creation is now a recognized phenomenon worldwide. International tourist arrivals to SSA have been on increase. This makes SSA the second fastest growing region in the world after the Asia Pacific (UNWTO 2010). The importance of the tourism system for economic development in Namibia has also been clearly acknowledged in the development policies and plans. Despite this, there are few comprehensive studies and research whatever has been sprinkled with narrow focus. This creates difficulty in holistic understanding apart from the need for strategic approach for tourism development in Namibia. In the context of such precincts and lack of comprehensive research, strategic management of tourism and thereby its development to the fullest potential is challenging. This paper through in depth literature review and grounded theory with contextual analysis aims to fill that gap.

Determining the impact of information on rural livelihoods and sustainable tourism development near protected areas in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa

ABSTRACTIt is well known that tourism can bring problems for poor rural people in less developed countries. This paper describes a pilot study of five rural communities in the vicinity of or within a South African protected area, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Within the context of sustainable tourism development and the sustainable livelihoods approach, it explores whether access to information and to education and training has had impacts on the survival of these communities. The information provision role of governing authorities is also investigated regarding the preservation of the site and also for ownership and land claims. The results indicate that lack of access to relevant information can be a prime reason why rural communities cannot break out of the poverty cycle, and they suggest it is imperative to train and educate survivalist communities so that they can mobilise themselves economically, including through local tourism development. The demonstrated significance of lack of information provision, training and education represents a new contribution to the field. The study concludes that, where it is a matter of survival for rural communities, a sustainable livelihoods approach may be more appropriate and attainable than a sustainable tourism development approach.
