This study aims to map tourism potential both in terms of tourism products and markets as an initial step in developing tourism in Ngajum Village. This research is community-based research implemented using the Participatory Action Research approach. The analysis was carried out through 6A's tourism product component approach without disregarding the tourism market analysis. The findings of this study are that Ngajum Village had untapped tourism potentials. Weaknesses in the components of attractions and available packages will be resolved by developing artificial attraction on land A, the potential for ecotourism activities on land B, agro-tourism on people's coffee plantations, spiritual tourism in Padepokan Soerjo Alam, as well as the potential for factory tour collaborations with Greenfield Dairy Factory. These potentials must be designed in stages to obtain optimal outcomes for the community by involving the roles of BUMDES and Pokdarwis as the main actors. In the end, the amenities component is considerably good, while the activities will align with the development of the attraction. The accessibilities and ancillary services are in good condition

The new normal phase has already begun. The tourism sector is slowly starting to operate. Setigi (Selo Tirto Giri) is a new tourist destination in the Gresik Regency region that gets priority from the local government to operate. As a new tourist destination, Setigi should have the right development guide. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach for 1 (one) month, where we focused on aspects of qualitative data that refer to the criteria and indicators of tourism destination development. We collect data by field observations, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, supported by quantitative non-reactive data. The analysis was carried out by the IFAS/EFAS analysis phase, followed by the SWOT/TOWS Matrix analysis technique. This research reveals that, in general, the management of Setigi is in harmony with the principles of the development of tourist destinations and tourist attractions. The manager has also strived to implement the Sapta Pesona criteria into the management of Setigi. However, there are some notes to improve Setigi's performance towards better tourism destinations.

This study aims to comprehend the actual conditions of business processes and to identify service blueprints in the Kebon Tunggul Tourism Village "Lembah Mbencirang" by analyzing their business activities and service flows to visitors. This research is community-based research (CBR) conducted using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. It resulted in the findings that there were various internal problems related to management during 2017-2020, especially related to the accountability and transparency of budget management in addition to more fundamental issues regarding tourist attraction management, such as the absence of an organizational structure, no clear division of staff duties, and the nonappearance of a standardized service flow. We concluded that basically, the business processes in the Lembah Mbencirang can be grouped into two, the first is the package tour services, and the second is the general visitors’ services. As a tourism product which is essentially a service product, service blueprint is very significant as an effort to understand the service experience from the perspective of the customer, which in this context was not previously owned by the manager. The service blueprint generated from this study can identify the existence of various service processes so that all staff can cognize the context and conditions of their duties in a more holistic customer service perspective.

Kajian ini berangkat dari studi observasi terhadap artikel penelitian pariwisata berkelanjutan yang dipublikasikan pada jurnal pariwisata nasional yang terakreditasi SINTA (Science and Technology Index) yang dianalisis dengan metode analisis isi (content analysis). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran yang lebih utuh tentang apa dan bagaimana manifestasi artikel penelitian pariwisata berkelanjutan di Indonesia selama ini dilakukan khususnya pada aspek metode, topik, dan aplikasinya. Jurnal pariwisata menempati fraksi kecil (0,43%) dari jurnal nasional terakreditasi SINTA, dimana terdapat 26 jurnal pariwisata dengan 304 artikel dari 267 peneliti utama yang berasal dari 16 negara berbeda yang melakukan riset pariwisata berkelanjutan. Keterwakilan peneliti internasional belum signifikan, dan mayoritas kontributor jurnal adalah peneliti pemula. Metode deskriptif kualitatif merupakan pilihan utama peneliti. Topik pengembangan, ekowisata, tata kelola, masyarakat, dan desa merupakan yang paling dominan dikaji. Aplikasi kajian cukup merata pada dimensi pariwisata berkelanjutan dan area geografis, namun kurang pada pemangku kepentingan dan fungsi-fungsi pengelolaan. Kajian ini mengimplementasikan pendekatan analisis isi manuskrip kuantitatif sehingga analisis laten dan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis korelasional tidak dilakukan secara mendalam. Beberapa implikasi dari kajian ini diantaranya: 1) memberikan ruang untuk penelitian lanjutan berupa pendalaman riset kualitatif dengan menginklusikan analisis korelasional serta melakukan wawancara kepada peneliti untuk mengungkapkan alasan dan motivasi melakukan penelitian pariwisata berkelanjutan 2) menyisakan ruang pengkajian perbedaan filosofis paradigma penelitian pariwisata berkelanjutan (positivisme, interpretivisme, atau kajian kritis), termasuk melihat dari sisi aksiologis, ontologis dan epistemologisnya 3) mencoba mensimulasikan hasil temuan dengan pendekatan kuantitatif untuk memproyeksikan kondisi penelitian pariwisata di masa yang akan datang.

The COVID-19 pandemic has plunged the tourism sector. Tourism industries have ceased operations in line with travel restrictions imposed by most countries. With various considerations, the tourism sector must be reopened. Kemenparekraf said ecotourism has the potential to survive in the post-COVID period. East Java with a variety of ecotourism destinations has the potential to become a leading destination. On the other hand, a pandemic caused changes in tourist behavior. Government policies that prioritize ecotourism; the advantages of East Java's ecotourism attractions; as well as a shift in the tourists' behavior who tend to travel to locations close to home, had an impact on changing tourism patterns in East Java. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach case study to reveal tour patterns in East Java, especially in the cities of Surabaya, Tuban, Batu, Malang City, Malang Regency, and Banyuwangi which contributed to 50% of East Java’s domestic tourist visits. This research was conducted in two phases, where the first stage (literature studies) guides the next phase of qualitative data in the form of interviews with tourism stakeholders. Our findings are that the majority of East Java tourists conduct tours in the regency/city where they live, ecotourism has not become the main choice of domestic tourists, local governments need to further develop potential natural attractions as ecotourism attractions, and existing ecotourism travel patterns are not yet optimized.

The adoption of UN General Assembly resolution 70/193 which stipulates the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development 2017, coupled with the global pandemic conditions that have been running for the past two years (2019-2022), have encouraged many parties to start thinking about values and forms of tourism that are more environmentally and culturally friendly. However, recently Indonesia received international attention regarding environmental and social issues in its tourism development. This literature review paper begins by reviewing the history of sustainable tourism, continues by looking at the paradoxes and several different perspectives of sustainable tourism, then examines the paradigm of sustainable tourism in Indonesia, especially that from the government perspective. We found that sustainable tourism was not a new concept. The evolution of sustainable tourism over the past 40 years has given rise to a variety of different schools and paradigms. The ambiguity of sustainable tourism causes a development paradox, on the one hand, diffusion is formed between stakeholders to achieve a socio-economic-environmental balance, however, on the other hand, the growth of environmental impacts, socio-cultural and economic problems continue to occur in absolute terms. The initial legislation on sustainable tourism in Indonesia still refers to the resource-centric paradigm, however, there are indications that recent tourism development is leaning toward tourist-centric accommodating to environmental modification, while the principle values of the Constitution, local community wisdom, and the demands of the international community favored on the community-approach paradigm, which requires a substantive and comprehensive transformation of the tourism system in its implementation.
