“…Such areas should be outstanding and facilitate the development, improvement or changes pertaining to wellness tourism, including the local area's appeal, which could promote the destination to attract wellness tourists. This was consistent with studies by Akin et al (2021), Armis and Kanegae (2021), Bogale and Wondirad (2019), Ferreira and Perks (2020), Mustafa et al (2021) and Woyo and Slabbert (2021), who found an area with abundant natural resources, exquisite sceneries, human-made natural tourist attractions in harmony with the nature, outstanding architecture with unique local identity and variety of culture and tradition (Dos Anjos and Da Rosa, 2021;Goffi and Cucculelli, 2019;Hernández-Rojas et al, 2021;Wardana et al, 2019). Gajić et al (2018) and Petrović et al (2018) emphasised the preparation of adequate medical or wellness service facilities for tourists' needs, such as state-to-the-art equipment.…”

“…This finding was consistent with Akin et al (2021), who found that the destination's overall image, the expertise of staff in tourism and services and business expertise in providing wellness tourism services were important factors in promoting the destination, thereby improving competitiveness. Altinay and Kozak (2021), Armis and Kanegae (2021), Ferreira and Perks (2020) and Woyo and Slabbert (2021) emphasised the importance of tourists' personal safety and hygienic healthcare services at the destination. Furthermore, Bogale and Wondirad (2019), Gajić et al (2018), Mustafa et al (2021), andNeto et al (2020) found that an area or destination with educational institutions providing knowledge about wellness tourism administration and management, hospitals and businesses providing healthcare services, friendliness of the local people (Petrović et al, 2018;Woyo and Slabbert, 2021) and local telecommunications were important factors in attracting wellness tourists, which could improve the destination's competitiveness.…”

This article aims to identify the variables that determine wellness tourism destination competitiveness using a case study in Thailand. This study outlines a suggested competitiveness framework for wellness tourism destinations based on the viewpoint of wellness tourism clusters. The study’s model illustrates the different categories and components and their relationship to competitiveness. Thirteen in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with leading experts in wellness tourism. Thematic and content analysis was used to examine the interview data using the Nvivo 12 programme. The study identified seven emerging themes that encompass factors that affect a wellness tourism destination’s competitiveness. These factors include the destination’s environment, the area’s policy and strategy to facilitate travelling and wellness tourism, infrastructure and capability to support wellness tourism, human-made resources and culture of wellness tourism, strategy and structure for healthcare services, potential for developing innovation and cooperation to build collaborative strengths and proactive marketing. The participants’ descriptions show the existence of a comprehensive framework for assessing the competitiveness of wellness tourism destinations in the Thai wellness tourism market. The concept elucidates the dynamic complexity of wellness tourism destination competition, which is believed to guarantee success for both individual stakeholders and society.

“…Post-mining tourism development in Sawahlunto is oriented toward creating a heritage-based tourist town (Armis & Kanegae, 2021). Concurrently, the city's creative industry development prioritizes performing arts, fashion, culinary, and crafts (Wahyuni & Khaidir, 2020).…”

“…Previous studies elucidated the transfor-mation of Sawahlunto from a mining town into a tourist destination, as conducted by Armis and Kanegae (2020), Cheris, Repi, and Amalia, (2020), Armis and Kanegae (2021) and Syafrini et al (2021). However, there is limited discussion on the city's transformation into the realm of the creative industry and the social impact it has generated, such as the shift in the community's professions from coal miners to crafts workers producing souvenirs and jewelry from coal.…”

As coal mining activities ceased in Sawahlunto, tourism, and the creative industry emerged as alternative avenues for the city's development. Legam is a player in the creative industry, specifically in the fashion sub-sector, specializing in coal-based jewelry production, a material abundant in Sawahlunto. Employing a narrative approach and conducting interview data collection, this research aimed to identify the role of Legam Jewelry in supporting social entrepreneurship. A social entrepreneurship approach served as the analytical framework, considering Legam Jewelry's unique business operations. Differences in the locations of raw material sources, workers' residences, and the business owner's domicile increased operational costs. It was interesting to comprehend Legam's motivation for maintaining this location difference between Bandung and Sawahlunto. The research findings indicated that Legam aligned its business processes with social entrepreneurship elements such as social value, civil society, innovation, and economic activities. Despite being deemed capable of fulfilling these social entrepreneurship elements, several critical points required attention in Legam's business processes. One such point related to the need for government support to facilitate physical exhibitions after the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In creating a massive social impact, efforts were necessary to encourage the emergence of similar entrepreneurs in Sawahlunto and other regions.

“…Our research brings a new perspective to the previous literature in relation to loyalty and citizen satisfaction in urban areas, since the expected quality is separated in territorial planning, municipal services and citizen’s environmental experience [ 36 , 37 ]. Once the citizens have decided to establish their residence in the urban area, the perceived quality is studied in the same dimensions.…”

This study investigates the satisfaction and adequacy of citizens through the expected quality and perceived quality in the areas of planning and territorial viability, experience in the provision of municipal services and citizen experience in environmental issues, in order to provide tools for territorial decision making for the citizens’ well-being. In our research PLS software is used for the analysis of hypotheses. A questionnaire was delivered to a sample of 521 citizens, representing the spectrum of the population, and the statistical study of the responses yielded results on citizen satisfaction and loyalty. Our research includes the study of moderating effects on the causal ratio of perceived value and satisfaction in territorial planning and viability, the perceived quality in the provision of municipal services and the perceived quality in the citizen experience in the environmental management of the territory on the value relationship perceived by the citizen and general satisfaction. A second objective of the study is to see if there are significant differences in the hypotheses raised by gender by performing a multigroup analysis. This difference has been appreciated in two of the hypotheses. The study shows that the policies exercised by the territorial managers of the different areas have a significant influence on the value perceived by citizens, satisfaction and loyalty, which shape their general well-being. Areas for improvement in territorial policies and municipal services such as citizen security, air quality, public lighting and sports services have been identified. Knowing these shortcomings allows politicians to focus their efforts on improving the quality of life in cities.
