Study of Environmental Carrying Capacity on Three Potential Tourism Destinations of Lumajang Regency, East Java

Lumajang Regency in East Java Province has significant potential for tourism development due to its intersection with the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS). The purpose of this research is to assess the Environmental Carrying Capacity (DDTL) of toruism area to provide a foundation for sustainable tourism development planning in Lumajang Regency. The research focuses on three tourist destinations: Ranu Pane, Wotgalih Beach, and Tumpak Sewu Waterfall. The method used is the DDTL calculation approach by Cifuentes (1992), which includes Physical Carrying Capacity (PCC), Real Carrying Capacity (RCC), and Effective Carrying Capacity (ECC). Data was collected through observation, literature study, and interviews with key stakeholders. The analysis results display the PCC, RCC, and ECC values in sequence for each location: Ranu Pane (9,941; 1,228; 1,228), Wotgalih Beach (1,641; 1,068; 1,068), and Tumpak Sewu Waterfall (312; 25; 25). The ECC value can serve as a metric for measuring the DDTL status of tourist locations in comparison to the average number of tourists. Ranu Pane and Wotgalih Beach have an ECC value greater than 1,000 when compared to the average number of tourists, which ranges from 500 to 900 people per day. Therefore, their status has not yet exceeded the DDTL. In contrast, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall has an ECC value of less than 50 with an average number of tourists exceeding 100 people per day, and its status is classified as having exceeded the DDTL limit. These results can be considered by the Lumajang Regency Government when planning the development of tourist destinations.

Evaluation and Spatiotemporal Differentiation of Cultural Tourism Development Potential: The Case of the Middle and Lower Reaches of the Yellow River

Cultural tourism development potential (CTDP) is the future value and supporting force of the environmental value, economic and social efficiency, innovation ability and supporting system of cultural tourism. At present, there are few relevant studies on CTDP, but the research results on the tourism development potential of cultural heritage are relatively rich, and the existing evaluation methods lack comprehensiveness, dynamics and visualization. Based on systems theory and sustainable development theory, this article attempts to innovate and collect time series data through the entropy method, multi-index comprehensive evaluation method, spatial kernel density estimation method, and centroid transferring model. The temporal and spatial evolution characteristics and the CTDP of 43 cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are examined and analyzed. It is found that the CTDP in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is divided into five levels; the overall potential intensity of the research area is small and has significant spatial differences; influenced by the time factor, the interaction and spatial correlation of within the research area are significant; the development of regional cultural tourism has strong regional dependence in the short range. The center of potential gradually moves to the geometric center. This study is significant for promoting the sustainable development of economic tourism in cradles of world civilization.

Стратегическое управление региональными туристскими ресурсами как фактор развития территории в новых условиях

Based on the analysis of regional tourism strategies, the article emphasizes the challenges and benefits of the strategic approach to tourism development. The authors analyzed various approaches to strategic management of tourism resources and identified current trends and contradictions. The conceptual provisions for strategic management of tourism development in the region based on subject-object and systemic approaches are presented. The methodological basis of the study is presented by the results of research by domestic and foreign specialists, in which a comprehensive analysis of the conditions and specifics of strategic management of regional development with the identification of promising opportunities for the integration of relevant innovative methods in the regional social and economic system was carried out. In accordance with this, the following general theoretical and special research methods were applied in the course of the study: statistical analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, deduction, and induction. The study showed that the methodology for the promotion of tourism resources requires the improvement of strategic management tools, especially in the current context of an increasingly turbulent external environment and the transition to modern methods and models of territorial development. Taking into consideration the two main directions of development of the tourism industry, i.e., external and internal tourism, the following factors of strategic development are expected to be analyzed: the geographical position of the region, the development of transport infrastructure, and natural and climatic features. External factors such as sanctions, pandemics, and other restrictions also affect the formation and development of tourism potential. Thus, in the context of the restrictions caused by the pandemic, domestic tourism grew considerably. Government-supported regional initiatives in the form of the National Project “Tourism and Hospitality Industry” became a strategic stimulus for regional tourism. The management of the strategy for the development of regional tourism resources involves the development of a desired image of the tourism sector in the region, the identification of priority areas, and effective promotion tools based on the methods of territorial marketing.

The resource potential and scenarios for the rural tourism development in Aktobe oblast of the Republic of Kazakhstan


 
 
 The trend towards the development of rural tourism is recognized to create positive dynamics for the revitalization of rural areas, and the preservation of the authentic and socio-cultural image of rural areas. Rural tourism in the regions of Kazakhstan is at the initial stage of the development. Aktobe oblast is not an exception to the general Kazakhstani trend. In the Aktobe oblast, to date, regional programs for realizing the potential of rural areas in the field of rural tourism have not been developed. An analysis of the state of the cultural environment and natural features made it possible to identify profitable resources in the local socio-economic system of the Aktobe oblast, on which rural tourism of the studied area can be built. The main directions of the resource application for the development of rural tourism are formed based on the potential resources that are available not only to the region as a whole but to each administrative-territorial unit – the district.

Rural tourism in the Aktobe oblast can be built on the resources of both natural and agricultural, historical, and cultural environments. Cultural landmarks for the development of rural tourism are represented by historical and cultural objects. We see the approach to assessing the territory of the Aktobe oblast in terms of organizing directions for the development of rural tourism in the application of the inductive method of scientific knowledge when the overall picture is formed based on the transition from a particular study of objects and phenomena to a general one. In our case, a holistic view of the development of rural tourism is obtained by analyzing natural resources, transportation, historical and cultural values of the territory and agricultural production. Insufficient and irrational use of the tourist opportunities of the territory, as well as the growing needs of the population for outdoor recreation within their region, stimulate the search. For new approaches to planning tourism activities. A new policy of rural tourism seems promising, aimed not only at the implementation of specific tourism projects but at the systemic development of tourism in the Aktobe oblast. The article develops a methodology for assessing the resource potential for the development of rural tourism and proposes the principles of zoning the territory from the standpoint of the territorial organization of rural tourism. To achieve this goal, the paper used the method of scoring, cartographic and comparative methods. Their application made it possible to ensure the validity and reliability of conclusions and proposals.

The (COVID)-19 Pandemic in the Cyclades: Patterns and Prospects in Cultural Tourism

Until July 2021, the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic were severe for tourism-dependent countries, such as Greece, and particularly the Cyclades. The cultural sector and related activities, at the crux of Cycladic tourism industry, were especially hit by the pandemic. The rest of the 2021 tourist season, however, proved especially successful for Cycladic tourism, which poses the question of why and how a destination may survive–and even profit–from the pandemic. This article thus explores emerging Cyclades tourism patterns and prospects (in a case study of Andros, Syros, and Santorini), in the context of the anticipated postpandemic tourism regeneration. Methodologically, the study was based on: a) a series of in situ in-depth interviews with key informants, b) a questionnaire survey of tourists and related local businesses, and c) a focus group panel discussion with key local/regional stakeholders. The study was conducted between the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021, in the context of the SPOT HORIZON2020 EU project; the research design and data interpretation were enriched by participant observation and consultation of Trip Advisor websites. Findings show that the pandemic and its repercussions were grave for these islands, highly dependent on tourism based on a dominant small-and-medium enterprise tourism development model. Modes of travel, types of tourism, and visitors??? behavior were altogether affected, resulting in new patterns of (im)mobilities, while the role of culture was viewed as the destination???s “hope in the horizon” towards the reigniting and regeneration of smaller scale, creative, dispersed, and more sustainable tourism. However, great disparities also emerged between the current state and regenerative potential for local cultural tourism development. The study participants specifically emphasized that the private tourism sector had been left by the State to their own devices, and pointed to a lack of a) cultural infrastructure, b) public funding, and c) destination marketing/promotion.
