“…In 2012-2013, the ship was renovated, equipped with two towers, a monument, a walkway, and a fountain. Visitors can board the ship and witness the enormity of the tsunami tragedy throughout the history of human civilization (Fahmi et al, 2018). Another well-known tsunami tourism object is Tsunami Museum.…”

This study aims to explore and analyze the moderating effects of Islamic and cultural tourism objects on the relationship between tsunami-related sites and the image of Banda Aceh city, Indonesia as a tsunami-tourism destination. Of 29.213 tourists who visited the city in 2019, 200 of them were selected as the sample of the study using a simple random sampling technique. The primary data collected through questionnaires and interviews were then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM)-based moderated multiple regression techniques. The study documented that tsunami-related sites and Islamic and cultural tourism objects have promoted the image of the city as a tsunami-tourism destination. Additionally, the cultural and Islamic tourism objects strengthened the effect of tsunami-related sites on the city image as a tsunami tourism destination. Thus, to further promote the city image as the tsunami-tourism destination, the tsunami-related sites, Islamic and cultural tourism-related objects must be preserved and enhanced.

“…In terms of the improvement of competitiveness, Fahmi et al [20] explored the tourism competitiveness system of cities in the Yangtze River Delta, and proposed multi-faceted strategies for enhancing the competitiveness of regional tourism cooperation. Under the background of informatization, Ibanez-Ruiz et al [21] set up an EIS for the competitiveness of tourist attractions from the humanistic approach; Covering sense of belonging, sense of familiarity, sense of dependence, and sense of identity, the established EIS highlights the absolute relationship between tourist perception and national tourism competitiveness.…”

With the rapid development of tourism, tourists have become more aware of tourism level and quality. This triggers fierce competition between tourist attractions. To promote the core competitiveness of tourist attractions, this paper proposes a new evaluation model for the competitiveness of tourist attractions based on artificial neural network. First, a four-layer evaluation index system (EIS) was constructed for the competitiveness of tourist attractions, including detail elements, basic layer, core layer, and characterization layer. Next, all the evaluation indices were optimized through clustering by improved k-modes algorithm. Finally, a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) was established to evaluate the competitiveness of tourist attractions. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. The research findings provide a reference for the application of artificial neural network (ANN) in other prediction fields.

Banda Aceh has much revived and transformed into a better degree from the devastating tsunami disaster in 2004. Structural, infrastructure and social transformation have led to the economic growth of the city. One of the contributing factors to the growth is tourism. The number of tourists visiting Banda Aceh has increased progressively every year, with the most significant number coming from neighbouring countries such as Malaysia. To support the tourism development sector, Aceh needs a sufficient infrastructure, high-quality services and complete information about the disaster mitigation preparedness since most of the places of interest, namely the tsunami historical sites, are located in the tsunami-prone area. Lack of official information about the disaster mitigation preparedness becomes one of the critical issues that need to be provided by the government. This paper evaluates the readiness of Banda Aceh Government and its agencies in providing disaster mitigation information to tourists. Data was gathered from a series of interviews conducted with travel agents (tour guide) and Malaysian tourists in April 2019. This paper argues that in the emergence of special interest tourism called ‘disaster tourism’ or ‘dark tourism’ in Aceh’s tsunami-prone area, the availability of disaster mitigation guides or travel advice for tourists are still lacking and need urgent solutions. This paper addresses some practical recommendations for Banda Aceh Government to undertake the issues.
