Environmental communication based on tourism management for mitigation of abrasion disasters

Indonesia has thousands of islands. However, many islands are threatened with sinking due to rising sea levels and abrasion. This research aims to explain environmental communication based on tourism management to mitigate abrasion on Bengkalis Island. The research method used was a qualitative approach with case studies. The results show that the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment together with other ministries, regional governments and experts collaborated to communicate to overcome the abrasion problem on Bengkalis Island. To mitigate abrasion, the government is building breakwaters, rehabilitating mangroves, and creating communication programs. The government’s environmental communications involve the NGO Malay Youth Association that Cares for the Environment (IPMPL) to deal with abrasion, as was done at Raja Kecik Beach. This community-based tourism was built as a means of government communication to campaign for the protection of the coast of Bengkalis Island. The development of marine tourism that is integrated with the prevention of environmental damage not only contributes to the economy and community welfare but also contributes to environmental sustainability. Communication based on tourism management has not been managed well. Therefore, the government must involve other stakeholders for sustainable development in the context of mitigating abrasion disasters.

Showcasing The Uniqueness Of A Marine Destination By Adopting Local Wisdom

Development based on local wisdom and indigenous practices can be particularly effective since local wisdom is often the only asset the local people control, and certainly one with which they are very familiar. Yet, literature on marine tourism development shows a scarcity of studies that draw from local wisdom, even though local community participation is underlined as one of the most important factors in successful marine tourism development. This paper explores the role of adopting local wisdom and indigenous practices in marine tourism development in showcasing the uniqueness of marine tourism destinations, with the case study of Misool, Raja Ampat, Indonesia. Misool is one of the islands in Raja Ampat which attracts marine tourists from around the world due to its abundance marine life. Using a conversational method for data collection, this paper analyzes how the integration of local wisdom and indigenous practices in tourism takes place and how tourists appreciate them. Findings from conversations with local people who worked as tour guides and dive guides show that the guests expressed appreciation when being asked to follow specific things according to their local wisdom and indigenous practices when visiting some of the tourist attractions or dive sites. Some of their guests stated that Misool is unique because of these practices. These findings reveal that adopting local wisdom and indigenous practices in a marine tourism destination emphasizes the uniqueness of the place. Moreover, the unique culture of the local community can also be an added value to the total tourism experience.

Development Strategy Of Banana Island Marine Tourism (Study on the Tourism Office of West Pesisir Regency)

The research aims to describe the Pisang Island Marine Tourism Development Strategy (study at the West Pesisir Regency Tourism Office). The type of research used is descriptive-qualitative. The method for determining informants used purposive sampling of six people, consisting of 1 department head, 3 department heads, and 2 community members. The informants in this research were Head of the Tourism Service, Head of the Tourism and Culture Promotion Section, Head of Division, Visitors, and Community Figures on Pisang Island. The data analysis method used is descriptive-qualitative. Based on the results of research and discussion, it is known that the West Pesisir Regency Tourism Office, in developing Pisang Island marine tourism, has carried out an annual programme regarding the development of Pisang Island marine tourism as it should be. This can be seen from several data indicators of effective work achievement. However, there is one obstacle that occurs in the implementation of the programme for increasing infrastructure and tourist attraction development due to the lack of budget absorption for tourism attraction development activities in Pesisir Barat Regency, plus the budget is not optimal because the proposed budget revision to the centre is not submitted quickly enough, and there is a lack of connection between the regional and central vernments. In fact, the Regional Regulation concerning RIPPDA No. 07 of 2017 has been well implemented by the West Pesisir Regency Tourism Office. It is necessary to suggest that the West Pesisir Regency government, especially the West Pesisir Regency Tourism Office, must have a creative spirit so that the development of Banana Island tourism continues.
