Assessment of Tourism Suitability and Carrying Capacity of Selected Tourist Sites in Tinambac, Camarines Sur, The Philippines

Abstract

Achieving sustainable tourism requires tourist sites management that is based on empirical studies. This paper utilized the analyses of tourism suitability index and Boullon’s Carrying Capacity Mathematical Model (BCCMM) in assessing four selected tourist sites of Tinambac, Camarines Sur, which offers a wide range of tourist destinations. Results showed that all four sites have the following suitability index and carrying capacity: 76.19% with 43 persons per day; 80.95% with 60 persons per day; 86.90% with 359 persons per day; and 91.67% with 612 persons per day, respectively. Based on the assessment, the four selected tourist sites are suitable for tourism destinations.

Sustainable tourism: analysis of methods and applications in the Indonesian tourism journals

“…In several cases, researchers from foreign institutions were found, such as Nobukazu Nagakoshi (L. Hakim & Nagakoshi, 2008), David Reeve (Valeriani et al, 2020), Guillaume Tiberghien (Ristiawan & Tiberghien, 2021), and Kumiko Shishido (Sadguna et al, 2020), or where the member researchers are from different international institutions from the first researcher, such as the Hess et al, (2021) article, both of which were ignored, because the data collection only refers to the identity of the first researcher. Twenty-five international researchers were recorded from 15 countries: United States (Acharya, 2021), Australia (Ayoub, 2020;Prideaux & Tao, 2005;Zeng, 2005), Bangladesh (Bhuiyan & Ismail, 2018), Netherlands (Rindrasih, 2015), Bulgaria (Slavov & Palupi, 2019), Ethiopia (Eshete et al, 2020), Philippines (Abansi, 2012;Arreza & Esguerra, 2021;Era & Rosario, 2020;Espiritu & Guevarra, 2015;Luna, 2021), India (De, 2012;Dey, 2013;Vinodan, 2010), United Kingdom (Hess et al, 2021), Italy (Brida, 2008), South Korea (Anele & Sam-Otuonye, 2021), Egypt (Abdou et al, 2020), France (Loustaunau, 2018), Romania (Voda et al, 2019), and Thailand (Chaichompoo, 2011;Songkhla & Somboonsuke, 2012;Southiseng & Walsh, 2010). The authors noticed that the tendency of international scholars to publish their studies in national tourism journals is indicated to have increased in recent years.…”

“…Sustainable tourism researchers in Indonesia adopt several statistical quantitative analysis techniques and mathematical calculations. Among them were Linear Regression Analysis techniques (Wirajuna & Supriadi, 2017;Yuniati, 2019), Boullon Mathematical Model for carrying capacity calculation (Luna, 2021), Customer Satisfaction Index (Boka, 2016), Descriptive Statistics Analysis (Arreza & Esguerra, 2021;Irawati, 2019), Gini coefficient (Maulana et al, 2020), Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) (Karo et al, 2020), Moderated Regression Analysis (Putra et al, 2015), Multiple Regressions Analysis (Eshete et al, 2020;Hillary, 2020;Parinusa et al, 2019), Path Analysis (Hermawan, 2017;Laba et al, 2019;Sanjiwani, 2019;Sulthony, 2021), System Dynamics Modeling (Kustiwan & Safrianty, 2012;Tangian et al, 2015), Principal Component Analysis (Arisanty et al, 2020), and Structural Equation Modeling (Yustita et al, 2020). However, a closer look at the data indicates that several quantitative studies did not include calculations in the manuscript (Narayana et al, 2020;Zakiyah & Kurniawan, 2014).…”

Pariwisata Berkelanjutan: Analisis terhadap Metode, Topik, dan Aplikasinya pada Jurnal Pariwisata Indonesia

“…25 peneliti internasional berasal dari 15 negara: Amerika Serikat (Acharya, 2021), Australia (Ayoub, 2020;Prideaux & Tao, 2005;Zeng, 2005), Bangladesh (Bhuiyan & Ismail, 2018), Belanda (Rindrasih, 2015), Bulgaria (Slavov & Palupi, 2019), Etiopia (Eshete et al, 2020), Filipina (Abansi, 2012;Arreza & Esguerra, 2021;Era & Rosario, 2020;Espiritu & Guevarra, 2015;Luna, 2021), India (De, 2012;Dey, 2013;Vinodan, 2010), Inggris (Hess et al, 2021), Italia (Brida, 2008), Korea Selatan (Anele & Sam-Otuonye, 2021), Mesir (Abdou et al, 2020), Prancis (Loustaunau, 2018), Rumania (Voda et al, 2019), dan Thailand (Chaichompoo, 2011;Songkhla & Somboonsuke, 2012;Southiseng & Walsh, 2010). Dari frekuensi artikel bisa dilihat bahwa kecenderungan akademisi internasional untuk mempublikasikan kajian mereka pada jurnal pariwisata nasional terindikasi meningkat pada beberapa tahun terakhir.…”

“…Beberapa teknik analisis kuantitatif statistik dan penghitungan matematika dikaji oleh peneliti pariwisata berkelanjutan di Indonesia. Diantaranya adalah teknik Analisis Regresi Linear (Wirajuna & Supriadi, 2017;Yuniati, 2019), Model Matematika Boullon untuk penghitungan Daya Dukung (Luna, 2021), Customer Satisfaction Index (Boka, 2016), Descriptive Statistics Analysis (Arreza & Esguerra, 2021;Irawati, 2019), Gini coefficient (Maulana et al, 2020), Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) (Karo et al, 2020), Moderated Regression Analysis (D. P. K. E. Putra et al, 2015), Multiple Regressions Analysis (Eshete et al, 2020;Hillary, 2020;Parinusa et al, 2019), Path Analysis (Hermawan, 2017;Laba et al, 2019;Sanjiwani, 2019;Sulthony, 2021), System Dynamics Modeling (Kustiwan & Safrianty, 2012;Tangian et al, 2015), Principal Component Analysis (Arisanty et al, 2020), dan Structural Equation Modelling (Yustita et al, 2020). Namun penulis juga menemukan dimana terdapat kajian kuantitatif yang tidak mencantumkan perhitungan di dalam manuskripnya, diantaranya adalah karya Narayana et al, (2020) dan Zakiyah & Kurniawan (2014).…”

The mangrove ecosystems on the north coast of Bangkalan, Indonesia, and its potential for mangrove ecotourism

“…The tourism suitability index is one of the indices that can be used to determine if a place is suitable for usage as a tourist attraction (De Luna 2021). The tourism appropriateness index study itself includes variables such as estimating mangrove thickness, mangrove species, biota that can or are discovered, tides, and mangrove density (Ali et al 2021).…”
