<p align="center"><strong><em>ABSTRACT:</em></strong></p><h5 align="center"><em> </em></h5><p><em>Based on Fauzi and Oktavianus (2014), in Indonesia itself the social and economic level in Indonesia is in contrast to environmental development in Indonesia itself. The hospitality industry that operates 24 hours a day starts thinking about ways to reduce waste and they emphasize new practices that can cut their waste disposal costs, protect and conserve nature. Double Tree by Hilton as a five-star hotel tries a new step called "Bye-bye Plastic" as a movement to reduce plastic waste in hotels.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>The data in this study are qualitative and use a case study approach. Data collection techniques used are interviews, observations, literature studies, and documents from the Hotel. To measure the level of effectiveness of plastic waste management, especially in the 2018 Bye-bye Plastic Program, the author uses the theory of the Cyprus Sustainable Tourism Initiative Theory (2017) regarding four good waste management steps.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>The conclusion of this study is that waste management in Double Tree by Hilton with the Bye-bye Plastic 2018 program is not effective where, from all four stages of waste management, everything has not been done and it works perfectly. Only in the first stage has there been action but the results have not been maximized. The advice that can be given is that the hotel must reevaluate this program, starting from the detailed program planning in advance so that it can save costs and improve the quality of the environment in Double Tree by Hilton Jakarta.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: Waste Management, Plastic Waste, Hotel</em></strong></p>

First Time

This research paper studies the domestic tourism destination boycott of Murree, the most popular tourist spot in Pakistan. Murree, a hill spot in the footsteps of the Himalayan mountain ranges, attracts millions of tourists from all over Pakistan every year due to its natural scenery and easy accessibility. However, weak regulation and unmanageable demand have made the local hospitality industry quixotic, prompting affiliated businesses in Murree to exploit tourists. Subsequently, the #BoycottMurree campaign was launched on social media at the beginning of 2018; this campaign gained quickly momentum, and Murree reported declines in business for the first time during the summer season of 2018. Using a netnographic case study approach of the #BoycottMurree campaign it found that the communication revolved around instrumental boycott motives and non-instrumental boycott motives. Moreover, the tourist ethnocentrism theme naturally emerged from the data, advocating anti-boycott. Overall, the results theoretically inform the literature by extrapolating tourist boycott notions in terms of domestic tourism and pointing out the ways in which domestic tourism boycotts may be different from international tourism boycotts. The results also guide domestic tourism organizations and businesses about the importance of developing competing destinations.

Migration Research

An ethnographic case study approach to understanding women’s actions and reactions to husbands’ emigration—or potential emigration—offers a distinct set of challenges to a U.S.-based researcher.  International migration research in a foreign context likely offers challenges in language, culture, lifestyle, as well as potential gender norm impediments. A mixed methods approach contributed to successfully overcoming barriers through an array of research methods, strategies, and tactics, as well as practicing flexibility in data gathering methods. Even this researcher’s influence on the research was minimized and alleviated, to a degree, through ascertaining common ground with many of the women. Research with the women of San Juan Guelavía, Oaxaca, Mexico offered numerous and constant challenges, each overcome with ensuing rewards.
