Abstract:Milkindo Agrotourism, located in Malang Regency, was an educational tourism destination that combined modern livestock and agricultural activities. This study examined the influence of attraction, accessibility, amenity,…
and ancillary factors on visitor perceptions. Data were collected in February 2025 through questionnaires distributed to 100 visitors. The research instruments were tested for validity and reliability, and classical assumption tests were performed to ensure the appropriateness of multiple linear regression analysis. The results revealed that visitors rated the clarity of registration information and memorable experiences the highest. Regression analysis showed that attraction significantly negatively affected visitor perception, while accessibility, amenity, and ancillary factors had significant positive effects. This indicated that enhancing accessibility, amenity, and ancillary improved visitor satisfaction, whereas increasing attraction elements unexpectedly lowered visitor perception. In conclusion, effective management of attraction, accessibility, amenity, and ancillary was essential to foster positive visitor perceptions and enhance the competitiveness of Milkindo Agrotourism as a leading educational tourism destination. The study recommended continuous innovation and improvement to support sustainable development in education-based agrotourism.

model—government, academia, business sector, community, and media. Karanganyar possesses rich cultural heritage in the form of batik, which holds significant potential to be developed into an educational tourism destination. However, its current management still faces various challenges. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, using in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies for data collection. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, referring to destination management theory (Cooper et al., 2008) and the concept of edu-tourism (Bodger, 1998). The results reveal that the management of batik educational tourism in Karanganyar has not yet been systematically integrated. Key issues identified include: (1) limited human resources with adequate competence, (2) conventional tourism practices, (3) lack of innovation in tourism product packaging, (4) insufficient institutional coordination and support, and (5) underdeveloped integration between cultural and educational tourism. While there is a strong commitment to cultural preservation from local communities and participation from business actors, structural support from the government and optimization of the media’s role require further enhancement. The implication of this research emphasizes the need for strengthened cross-sectoral collaboration through the Penta Helix framework, the formulation of specific policies for educational tourism development, as well as innovations in digital promotion and context-based cultural education curricula. This study is expected to serve as a reference for policymakers, tourism practitioners, and future researchers in promoting sustainable educational tourism rooted in local culture.
Abstract:This study examines the development of the Rammang-Rammang karst landscape in Maros Regency, South Sulawesi, into a prominent ecotourism destination, through an anthropological perspective. Utilizing qualitative methods—including…
��including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and focus group discussions—this research explores how the local community navigates the rapid shift from a traditional agrarian and riverine lifestyle to a tourism-based economy. Anthropological analysis reveals that while ecotourism provides alternative livelihoods and fosters local pride, it also introduces challenges regarding cultural commodification, shifts in communal values, and spatial contestation. The findings indicate that the local community exercises significant agency by integrating their ancestral kinship networks (siri’ na pacce) into modern tourism management. This cultural adaptation serves as a mechanism for community resilience, ensuring that external commercial pressures do not fully erode local identity. This study concludes that sustainable tourism development in heritage sites like Rammang-Rammang depends on recognizing local communities not merely as stakeholders, but as active cultural custodians of the karst landscape

ims to analyze promotional activities, identify factors influencing promotional effectiveness, and formulate promotional strategies to increase tourist visits. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method through observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation, supported by interactive data analysis and triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that promotional efforts still rely primarily on annual festivals and direct interpersonal communication without systematic support from planned digital media. This condition has contributed to fluctuations in tourist arrivals, increasing from 587 visitors in 2022 to 711 visitors in 2023, before declining to 503 visitors in 2024 and 468 visitors in 2025. Constraining factors include limited human resources, weak digital media management, and the underdeveloped institutional capacity of the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis). The study concludes that promotional strategies should be directed toward digital marketing, strengthening cultural identity and local storytelling, as well as enhancing community and institutional capacity. The novelty of this study lies in the development of a sustainable promotional model that integrates digital marketing, cultural storytelling, community participation, and the strengthening of Pokdarwis institutions in accordance with the characteristics of Daiama Tourism Village as a nature- and culture-based tourism destination.

e era of digital transformation, when tourism villages are required to adapt through technology-based smart tourism approaches, digital promotion, and information services. One area with significant potential is Lembar Selatan Village in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Surrounded by 70 hectares of mangrove forest, a coastline, marine life, and well-preserved local traditions, the village has the potential to be developed into a coastal ecotourism destination. The Lembar Selatan Ecotourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) has begun managing tourism based on conservation and environmental education. However, obstacles remain, such as low digital literacy, the lack of an online promotion and reservation system, and limited destination management training. These conditions impact market reach and low tourist visits. Therefore, Community Service (PKM) activities are designed to increase Pokdarwis capacity, strengthen tourism digitalization through websites and promotional media, and encourage local community empowerment. This program is expected to realize inclusive, participatory, and sustainable coastal ecotourism, as well as strengthen the competitiveness and branding of Lembar Selatan Tourism Village.

of electronic tickets, as a step towards smart tourism. The implementation of electronic tickets is designed to improve operational efficiency, tourist comfort, and facilitate the management of tourist destinations. By utilizing information and communication technology (ICT), this system is expected to reduce queues at tourist locations, speed up the tourist entry process, and provide real-time data that is useful for destination managers. This activity involves training for tourism managers in Lombok, as well as the implementation of an electronic ticket system at Bangsal Port which leads to the 3 Gili tourist destinations, namely Gili Trawangan, Gili Medno and Gili Air, where ticket sales have so far been manual and managed by the Karya Bahari Bangsal sea transportation cooperative. The results of this program show an increase in the quality of tourism services and management efficiency, while encouraging the use of technology in the promotion and management of tourism data. With the success of this program, it is hoped that Lombok, especially the 3 Gili tourist area, can become a pioneer in the implementation of smart tourism in Indonesia, increasing its competitiveness as a modern and technology-friendly global tourist destination.
