Tourism shows a significant contribution to foreign exchange and regional income in Indonesia. Defined as a priority and leading sector in the RPJMD, tourism development in the Regencies and the Province of Gorontalo must measure the results, benefits and impacts for all stakeholders. Contribution to regional income (PAD) and the composition of internal and external factors in each of the leading destinations is needed for the purpose of determining the strategy and policy of sustainable tourism development. The study concluded that tourism sector was relatively small in its contribution to each PAD total by Regencies in Gorontalo Province. The low of PADsp is relevant to the low occupancy rate (TPK) of the hotel and the length of stay (LoS). The lack of retribution income from recreation and sports spot is relevant to the lack of activities to support the attractiveness such as art and cultural attractions and local products that can be souvenirs for tourists. Infrastructure facilities at leading tourism objects are relatively incomplete or do not meet tourism standards. The low of PAD, TPK LoS can also explain that the increase in tourists to Gorontalo is only a transit to the other tourist objects outside of Gorontalo Province.Keywords: Tourism, Leading Sector, Gorontalo, Income, Swot Analysis

This research note provides an account of the trajectory of Balinese tourism through 2020, focusing on government actions in the face of the coronavirus pandemic and the responses of local people. Interviews were conducted with informants in the tourism sector to assess the impact of the pandemic. The findings suggest that before April 2020, people were calm and thought that Balinese tourism may survive, albeit on much-reduced arrivals. After April, when tourism shut down completely, a new sense of pessimism became evident. Although domestic tourism began again in August, the sector was still in deep crisis at the end of the year. Although Balinese people expressed hope that the future may offer a more sustainable kind of tourism, all indications pointed to official support for a return to mass tourism.

Tourism development contributes to economic development. In emerging economies like Kazakhstan, tourism development needs active entrepreneurship. As the country emerges from the post-Soviet era, there has been an increase in economic development and prosperity. Entrepreneurship in the tourism sector can drive economies forward through the creation of new tourism and hospitality businesses. The macroeconomic environment can influence entrepreneurial activity. We use an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to examine the impact of macroeconomic factors on tourism entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan. Using data from 1996 to 2018, we find that there is a positive short-run relationship between wages in the tourism sector and entrepreneurship, suggesting that wage growth in the sector attracts entrepreneurs. In the long run, however, tourism sector wages have a negative relationship with entrepreneurship, suggesting that these higher wages represent a higher cost to entrepreneurship. There is also a strong positive relationship between national income and tourism entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan. Implications of macroeconomic policy changes for Kazakhstan and other emerging economies are discussed.

The World Tourism Conference, held in Manila from 27 September to 10 October 1980, proved that the human community is still able to think generously and clearly, and to hold a courageous vision of the future. The Conference was convened to examine a subject which would lead to modification of outmoded concepts and practices, and would induce governments as well as the travel industry to reconsider all of their activities in the tourism sector. The Manila conference was able to show the way to build for the future in a field – that of free time and leisure – which is becoming one of the important responsibilities of governments, as non-working time increases in relation to working time because of the transformations that modern society is undergoing.

Tourism is often seen as the ‘golden ticket’ for the development of many islands. The current COVID-19 pandemic, however, has ground global tourism to a halt. In particular, islands that depend heavily on tourist inflows—including mass-tourism islands, and small island developing states (SIDS)—have seen their revenues diminish significantly, and poverty rates increasing. Some alternative-tourism islands have fared better, as they have focused on providing personalized, nature-based experiences to mostly domestic tourists. This article focuses on the experiences of mass-tourism islands, SIDS, and alternative-tourism islands during the COVID-19 pandemic, and offers possible post-pandemic scenarios, as well as recommendations for sustainable island tourism development. Although the pandemic has largely had a negative impact on the tourism sector, this is a unique opportunity for many islands to review the paradigm of tourism development. In this newly emerging world, and under a still very uncertain future scenario, the quadriptych of sustainability is more important than ever. Responsible governance and management of islands’ natural resources and their tourism activities, addressing climate change impacts, the diversification of islands’ economies, and the promotion of innovative and personalized tourist experiences are all necessary steps towards increasing islands’ resilience in case of future economic downturn or health- and environment-related crises.

AbstractCulture sector, which was transferred into the Ministry of Culture and Tourism since2001, was back to the Ministry of Education and Culture in October 2011. The changes oforganizational structure in ministerial level should be followed by changes of organizationalstructure in officials in provincial level. But in reality, the majority of provincial governmentsretain the culture sector together with tourism sector. This case provokes a question why thechange of organizational structure in the ministerial level is not followed by most of the officialsin provincial level. The method of this study is literature study of some articles and essays frombooks and internets, which contain history of culture sector in ministerial level, role of culturefor tourism, role of culture for education, as well as examples of official that manages culturesector in three provinces (West Kalimantan, West Sumatra, and Yogyakarta Special Region). Theresults shows that many officials merge culture sector together with tourism sector because themeaning of culture sector is considered to have a stronger synergy with tourism than education.The provincial government considers that culture sector needs to be empowered for the benefitof tourism sector. Conversely, tourism development will strengthen people’s culture in theirprovinces. Culture-based tourism development will also increase local income for the province AbstrakBidang kebudayaan yang sejak tahun 2001 bergabung dalam Kementerian Kebudayaandan Pariwisata, mulai Oktober 2011 beralih kembali ke Kementerian Pendidikan danKebudayaan. Perubahan struktur organisasi di tingkat kementerian tersebut semestinya diikutidengan perubahan struktur organisasi kedinasan di tingkat pemerintahan provinsi. Namundalam kenyataannya sebagian besar dinas di tingkat provinsi tetap mempertahankan bidangkebudayaan disatukan dengan bidang pariwisata. Hal ini menimbulkan pertanyaan, mengapaperubahan struktur organisasi di tingkat kementerian tersebut tidak diikuti oleh sebagian besardinas di tingkat provinsi? Metode yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah dengan melakukanstudi pustaka terhadap tulisan-tulisan dan laman-laman, yang memuat tentang sejarah bidangkebudayaan di tingkat kementerian, peran kebudayaan terhadap pariwista, peran kebudayaanterhadap pendidikan, serta contoh-contoh dinas yang menangani bidang kebudayaan di tigaprovinsi (Kalimantan Barat, Sumatera Barat, dan D.I. Yogyakarta). Hasil kajian menunjukkanbahwa hal tersebut disebabkan pemaknaan bidang kebudayaan yang dianggap lebih bersinergidengan pariwisata daripada pendidikan. Pemerintah provinsi memandang bidang kebudayaandapat diberdayakan untuk kepentingan bidang pariwisata. Sebaliknya, pengembangan pariwisataakan memperkokoh kebudayaan masyarakat di provinsi tersebut. Perkembangan pariwisatayang berbasis kebudayaan juga akan meningkatkan Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) bagi provinsitersebut.
