“…Decreased demand could also be linked to wider societal and economic changes; Indonesia’s economy has continued to grow during the last decade, with Sulawesi maintaining economic growth in all regions (Panggabean, 2016; Bank of Indonesia, 2019). Increases in GDP per capita, reduction in poverty and unemployment in Sulawesi and a 600% increase in tourism to North Sulawesi between 2015 and 2018 (Parassa et al ., 2020) may have contributed to reduced demand for bushmeat and changes in consumer behaviour, as more consumers move away from rural market areas to urban areas of national industrial investment and tourism such as Bitung and Manado (Adhima, 2019; Morse, 2019).…”

The bushmeat trade, or the trade in wild animals for meat, is a primary threat to wildlife and ecosystems in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Hunting for trade and consumption can hasten the local extirpation of vulnerable species, such as fruit bats and the protected babirusa and Sulawesi crested black macaque. This study provides a much‐needed step in understanding the bushmeat trade by describing longitudinal trends in the amount of bushmeat (animal carcasses) observed for sale in markets in North Sulawesi, a particularly biodiversity‐rich area. Surveys were conducted in 10 markets in 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2019. At each market, total counts of all taxa for sale were noted, and encounter rates per market sample were derived to account for variable sampling effort across years and markets. Generalized Linear Mixed Models were used to compare encounter rates across years, months and markets. Our results show that although animal carcasses are still sold in high numbers, there has been an overall decrease between 2011 and 2019, particularly between 2011 and 2018 (encounter rate fell by 99%). However, bats, rats and Sulawesi warty pigs were still present at high levels, indicating a persistent demand for bushmeat in North Sulawesi. The encounter rate of protected taxa for sale was low, but steady throughout the study period. We identified which markets sold the greatest amount of bushmeat to inform future conservation actions and management. Based on our results, the persistent demand for bushmeat in the region, and the continued presence of protected taxa in the markets, we recommend further research to establish the sustainability of the bushmeat trade at its current rate.

Tourism and information technology are two things that are currently interrelated. The use of information technology in the tourism sector is very influential in its current development. One of the information technologies approaches used is the information system regarding tourist destinations in Indonesia. The use of the information system is used to make it easy for media users to access information about tourist destinations. All kinds of information conveyed from destinations, routes, attractions, facilities, and others are combined into one information system. In this paper, we present an information system landscape of indonesia tourism destination. We review information system usage for tourism destination. We show that the use of the information system for tourist location destinations can continue to be developed to get the trust of its users, starting from the facilities in the system, to the benefits of its use such as ease of search, ordering or reservation, and others. Finally, we present open problems for future research recommendations.
