One of the latest strategies in Indonesia in developing tourism is E-Tourism, a digital platform that provides convenience for foreign and domestic tourists. This study aims to determine the Branding Strategy "The Light Of Aceh" through E-Tourism in Sustainable Tourism Development in Aceh Province and its inhibiting factors. The research data comes from primary and secondary data related to the research focus. The data analysis technique used the Nvivo 12 plus analysis using crosstab through the chart and sociogram features. The results showed that the Branding strategy "The Light Of Aceh" through E-Tourism in sustainable tourism development uses 4 strategies, namely POSE (Paid Media, Owned Media, Social Media, and Endorser). Of the four strategies, the highest percentage is through social media digital platforms which are the most strategic in promoting tourism. The inhibiting factor is in terms of human resources that are still minimal, in terms of infrastructure that has not been managed properly in several tourist destinations, and the social conditions of the community are still minimal related to public awareness of managing tourist destination places properly so it is very important to support tourism actors to return or whether or not to Aceh for a tour.

Sustainable tourism development of the northern part of Serbia in Autonomous Province of Vojvodina aims to achieve ecological, sociocultural, and economic benefits. This means that all entities should be included in the planning and implementation of tourism, such as the local community, tourists, and state entities, while tourism activity should be focused on improving ecological principles and sociocultural conception in a destination. One of the models of this development is seen in specific products that can play a significant role in tourism development. Such an authentic product is wine, which has a very important role in the promotion of tourism. The aim of this paper is to explore Vojvodina—the region of Serbia—as a valuable wine tourism destination in the country, especially the experiences of the wine routes. We use descriptive statistics techniques to summarize and present the data and adopt a correlation analysis technique to describe respondents’ preference on the importance of the wine routes. In the empirical survey, the main conclusion is a positive correlation that by developing wine tourism in Vojvodina, we can influence economic development of the region.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contributions of Agenda 2063 in tourism development in Africa while examining the inherent contradictions in its implementation. Ultimately, it brings out a meaningful synthesis of the overall implications and proposes recommendations for an equitable and sustainable tourism development in Africa. Design/methodology/approach This study draws from desk-based research and content analysis of documents and research studies related to Agenda 2063. A hypothetico-deductive approach was adopted, as this allowed for the deconstruction of text and context. Findings The findings reveal several internal inconsistencies which cuts like a double-edge sword. Empirical results show that Africa can emerge as a desirable destination if the aspirations of Agenda 2063 are appropriately popularized and operationalized. African countries need to align their tourism plans with the aspirations projected in the plan. It is imperative that the African Union (AU) oversees that there is consistent and sustainable tourism development across all member states. Research limitations/implications The study draws from and relies solely on available secondary data. This implies that unofficial and unpublicized secondary data (proceedings, concept notes, position papers and archived documents) developed from AU’s conferences and workshops have not been considered. The outcome might therefore be indicative, but not necessarily reflective of trends and hidden realities of Africa. Practical implications The outcome of this empirical study provides an improved understanding of opportunities and challenges faced by African countries seeking to develop tourism as an economic activity. It unveils discrepancies which need address and further articulates recommendations which are practical and workable to achieve the aspiration of Agenda 2063 to be a “United Africa.” Social implications The study provides valuable information for the socio-economic transformation of the continent, one of the aspirations of Agenda 2063. It further seeks to promote social and economic development based on a spirit of Pan-Africanism. Originality/value Unlike previous studies, this exploratory piece of paper provides a meaningful synthesis of Agenda 2063 from a unique perspective – the double-edge sword approach; it examines the potentials and opportunities the agenda triggers for tourism and at the same time, reveals its contradictions.

Tourism coastal area is one form of application of community-based and sustainable tourism development. Through the development of tourist villages are expected to occur equitable in accordance with the concept of sustainable tourism development. Community participation is important in the implementation of development.

The development of the tourism village is a planned change in which local participation is required holistically. This activity aims: Provides an overview of how the development and management of attractions based on local communities. The development of Suak Indrapuri Village, Aceh Barat Regency, Aceh Province into a tourist village has not fully involved community participation. The challenge in the process of developing the tourist gampong in Suak Indrapuri is the lack of cooperation between local government / related agencies and gampong devices in the whole process of tourism development. Whereas when referring to a clean and sustainable government governance approach the role of the government is expected to be a facilitator by providing greater role and benefits to the local community. Good coordination is able to develop the area. It is desirable that existing natural resources are sustainable without reducing and damaging their quality.
