“…A virtual reality system is a system of interrelated elements that provides a virtual representation of an environment. A high-quality virtual reality system is demonstrated by the reliability, feedback time, ease of access, and flexibility of the virtual reality device (Suhaeni et al, 2022). A virtual reality system can be defined as moving users to a virtual environment by providing consistent perceptual feedback corresponding to the actions taking place in this virtual environment by guiding users to develop a sense of being there psychologically (Melo et al, 2022).…”

“…Visitors may have visited or received different stories, so they may behave differently in responding to the stories. Tourist behaviour can also be driven by the tourist experience or via technology such as Virtual Reality (Suhaeni et al, 2022).

This study provides insights into the numerous storytelling techniques tour guides offer to provide visitors with memorable experiences. The study employs an autoethnographic methodology centered on the researchers' extensive background as tourist sector practitioners. The researcher identifies three fundamental tourism storytelling techniques: places, people, and objects. The use of sensory experiences that create a realistic view of a location, strong emotional connections with well-known personalities, the sharing of cultural insights, contrasting and comparing cultures at various locations, highlighting hidden gems, and the use of symbolism or themes to describe a location are all examples of techniques for telling stories about places. Using person-centered storytelling, tour guides can create engrossing narratives by focusing on the character's traits, abilities, and weaknesses, as well as personal tales and journeys. These techniques result in a more authentic and gripping narrative experience. The final approach involves discussing products or physical objects. Guides can narrate the origin and evolution of a product, its cultural significance, future use and potential advancements. This approach provides visitors with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the products unique to the destination. This study contributes to a better understanding of how tour guides can leverage storytelling techniques to enhance visitor experiences and offers practical insights for professional tour guides to improve their narrative delivery.

Pekalongan City is known for its creative city and religious people, which can be a competitive advantage in developing halal tourism destinations. However, having that alone is insufficient; infrastructure readiness is also crucial. This paper seeks to describe public perceptions of Pekalongan City’s readiness to become a halal tourism destination in terms of its infrastructure. Primary data was collected through the random distribution of questionnaires. Using the accidental sampling method, a total of 65 people were selected as a sample. Data was also gathered through interviews with key informants, who were selected using a purposive random sampling method. The criterion is that the informants have visited tourist attractions in Pekalongan City. The secondary data was gathered through a review of books, journal articles, research reports, websites, and other sources pertinent to the research topic. This study reveals that the community has a favorable view of Pekalongan City’s tourism infrastructure in terms of attractions, access, environment, and amenities. From this perception, it is concluded that Pekalongan City deserves to be a halal tourism destination. Although a positive impression is made, there is still room for development in areas like worship facilities, public restrooms, tourist attractions’ safety and comfort, and more. This study recommends that the local government invest in infrastructure to improve tourism services. A successful regional halal tourism industry will produce a tourist-attractive halal industry. Thus, establishing a good halal tourism destination begins with ensuring the location has the necessary infrastructure in place.========================================================================================================ABSTRAK – Persepsi tentang Infrastruktur Pariwisata Halal di Pekalongan, Jawa Tengah.
