“…The Bateq community has a solid commitment to inclusiveness and values the autonomy of individuals and groups (Fan et al, 2020). They have no political hierarchy, though a Tok Batin (village chief) is appointed by the aborigines' department Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA).…”

“…Since the development of tourism, especially modern recreation, indigenous people have been an essential driving factor for tourists and promoting tourism destinations. Indigenous culture is a big attraction as it is a unique tourism asset (Fan et al, 2020). According to Yng (2020), the Orang Asli tourism industry is unstable and weak.…”

Bateq indigenous people have a firm traditional culture. Their adaptation to the forest has given them a deep relationship with nature and a wealth of pure values. However, most people in the Bateq community are shy, unproductive, and have low self-esteem and confidence. They are also not strong enough to face challenges and fear competing. People think that Bateq aborigines depend too much on government help to live. Some Bateq people do not know how to read or write, and they do not speak English well enough to help some international tourists. Aside from that, they do not understand what tourism development is or why it is crucial. As a result, Bateqs' support for tourism development remains unclear. In the context of Taman Negara Pahang (TNP), this study employs thematic content analysis to investigate the attitudes of Bateq aborigines towards support for tourism development. The study used a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, which consisted of thematically analysing 29 English language comprising tourism and social science journal articles. The SLR technique is the most effective way to uncover information on the issues covered since SLRs allow the paper to incorporate current material and build a firm definition and framework for future study. Many Bateq aboriginals in TNP are unwilling or unable to engage in tourism or other industries. This is because such involvement might be unpleasant and upsetting for them. At the same time, when tourists come to their community, the Bateq aborigines deliver a warm and personalised welcome to the people. Participation in other tourism-related activities demands direct and extended social contact with guests, which many Bateq aboriginals cannot perform. Aside from losing freedom in deciding where to live, the Bateq aborigines are rapidly losing the right to define the long duration of residency in an area.

“…Haigh (2020) y Hunter (2020) plantean que las estrategias de desarrollo basadas en el turismo cultural requieren de un análisis profundo entre las áreas urbanas y rurales para dirigir los recursos eficientemente, de tal manera que los responsables políticos, operadores turísticos y productores culturales (como artistas, escritores e intérpretes) promuevan y permitan el logro de retornos económicos directamente a las comunidades locales. Por otra parte, Fan et al (2020) establecen que las tribus indígenas terminan finalmente negociando su indigeneidad, conformada por imaginarios globales en poder de los turistas, y por su búsqueda del desarrollo y la modernidad.…”

Tourism Impacts on Indigenous Cultures in Papua New Guinea (PNG): At Time of International Tourism Shocks

The Covid-19 pandemic has crippled the tourism industry with the massive decline in international tourism visitors. As a result, indigenous tourism communities that are heavily dependent on tourism suffer from the loss of economic and social benefits. Swaikoski (2020) believes that the niche tourism market flourished until the coronavirus (Covid-19) caused havoc on participating communities. The indigenous people in Papua New Guinea are known for their unique cultural knowledge, traditions, customs, beliefs, arts, and mythology. Each tribe contains distinct traditional attires, languages, totems, and rituals, adding uniqueness and importance to the world. Thus, this study acknowledges one of the iconic cultural groups in PNG, the Asaro Mudmen from Komunive village, Eastern Highlands Province. The author evaluates how the absence of tourism during the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the Komunive community, their way of life, resources, and leadership structure. This research explored both positive and negative impacts of tourism on the Komunive community to better understand the community’s views and perspectives about the post-Covid-19 era. The study employed a qualitative method of research in the form of a single case study approach and administered 17 interviews over one week using online platforms. The sample consists of village and church elders, village councillors, tourism committee members, and tour guides, all from the Komunive community. The indigenous community has never experienced an international tourism shock in the past. Thus, the results indicated more negative impacts experienced during the absence of tourism at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Tourism was a crucial contributor to the community's pre-Covid-19 era and played a significant role in their community well-being. These include economic, social, environmental, and cultural benefits. However, the absence of tourism has shifted their perspective on how they intend to reengage with tourism when tourists return to PNG. The study further found that the self-determination values of the indigenous community were a more vital link to the shift. Keywords: Indigenous Tourism, Culture, Tourism, Impacts, Mudmen, Komunive Community, Shocks, Covid-19, Pandemic, Absence of tourism.
