“…The residents' willingness to support tourism development is highest when their length of stay PLANNING MALAYSIA Journal of the Malaysia Institute of Planners ( 2023) is 5 years or less, and it slightly decreases among respondents who have live at the area for more than 20 years. This finding is not supported by the research of Man Cheng et al (2021). Residents' attitude emerges as the most significant determinant for their supportiveness towards tourism development, followed by positive and negative perceptions.…”

Tourism development in any destination can bring about positive and negative impacts on the natural environment and social and economic aspects. Da Lat, an emerging tourist destination in Vietnam, is confronted with the positive and negative environmental impacts of tourism, especially in rural areas. Several studies have explored the effect of tourism. However, only few studies have focused on the environmental impacts of tourism development in the rural area of a developing country. On this basis, this research aims to: (i) investigate residents’ positive and negative perceptions of the environmental impacts of tourism development in the rural areas of Da Lat city, (ii) examine the influences of age, gender, length of residence, economic dependency on their perception, attitude and supportiveness; and (iii) investigate the influences of the independent variables (residents’ socio-demographic features, perception and attitude) on residents’ supportiveness. This work involved a case study of four rural communes, namely, Xuan Truong, Xuan Tho, Ta Nung and Tram Hanh at Da Lat City, and a stratified sampling technique was used. This study utilised a quantitative research method by using face-to-face questionnaires with a total of 305 usable responses. The findings revealed that the residents’ perception on the environmental impacts of tourism are influenced by age, length of residence and economic dependency. Majority of the residents’ demonstrated a positive perception on the environmental impacts of tourism and support the tourism development even though the actual environmental effect is visible at Da Lat city. Attitude is the most significant variable that affect residents’ supportiveness. This empirical study may provide the current situation on the supportiveness of residents in Da Lat destination that may benefit the decision-maker in conserving environmental sustainability as a tourism destination.

“…This study verified the theoretical contribution and supported the past studies which indicated that the place attachment played a role in tourist behavior and acted as a mediator variable between tourism experience and future tourist behavior (Lee et al , 2012; Prayag and Ryan, 2012). If tourists are attached to a destination, high experienced tourists would show positive behavior in the future by sharing their experiences with others (Li et al , 2021; Man Cheng et al , 2021). Sharing experiences were likely to be facilitated not only indirectly by place attachment, but also directly by gastronomic experiences.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the impact of gastronomic experience on sharing experiences, as well as place attachment as a mediator and length of stay as a moderator.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative method was used in this study. The paper conducted an online survey from 717 international tourists who visited Phuket, a city of gastronomy.FindingsThe result revealed that four dimensions of gastronomic experience – entertainment, escapist, education and aesthetic – affected sharing experience. The mediating role of place attachment was documented. As expected, the length of stay moderated the effect of the gastronomic experience on sharing experience through place attachment as a mediator.Practical implicationsThese results could help destination managers to develop tourist experiences and enhance customers' length of stay and place attachment. On the other hand, this research contributes to the understanding of the factors that affect sharing experience in the tourism industry with a special focus on the city of gastronomy.Originality/valuePrior research shows that tourism experience provides a future tourist behavior based on effective attitudinal variables. At the present, this research provides researchers with information on how to narrow the behavior gap through a range of marketing. This study gives additional insights into the indications of what visitors will transfer into behavior and why an area that has not been addressed previously in this context.

“…Meanwhile, secondary stakeholders, including security personnel, companies like Bank BRI, Pegadaian, ANTAM, and the community and visitors, play a supportive role in the retribution management ecosystem. Although they are not directly involved in decision-making, their contributions in the form of support, advice, and input are crucial for creating a conducive environment for the implementation of retribution policy (Cheng et al, 2022). Collaboration among all stakeholder parties supports efforts to increase the Regional Revenue of Kolaka Regency by developing regional wealth in the Kea-Kea Nature Tourism Park.…”

This research aims to analyze the role of actors involved in the implementation of the Regent Regulation Number 7 of 2019. This research uses an inductive qualitative analysis. Inductive analysis is an approach that begins with field facts, analyzes them based on relevant theories and arguments, and ultimately yields a conclusion. The results show that in managing retribution at the Kea-Kea Nature Tourism Park, the Department of Tourism of Kolaka Regency has played a critical role as the Policy Creator, Coordinator, and Facilitator. However, there are obstacles to policy implementation, especially in setting and collecting retribution rates and providing adequate facilities. On the other hand, Tourism Awareness Group, as the Implementer, needs help complying with the provisions for depositing the collected retribution, mainly due to using some retribution funds for facility maintenance. Furthermore, traders, acting as Accelerators, must fully comply with retribution payment regulations. Therefore, it is recommended that the Department of Tourism of Kolaka Regency enhance its effectiveness by strengthening policy socialization and implementation oversight, particularly in setting and collecting retribution rates and providing adequate facilities. For the Natural Resources Conservation Center, improving cooperation with the Department of Tourism in supervising and enforcing retribution rules is crucial. Tourism Awareness Group is expected to understand and comply with the provisions for depositing collected retribution, including the appropriate use of retribution funds. State-owned enterprises are advised to strategically allocate Corporate Social Responsibility funds to support maintaining and enhancing Kea-Kea Nature Tourism Park facilities. Finally, traders are expected to enhance compliance with retribution payment regulations. These recommendations aim to collaborate better with related actors in retribution management, ultimately improving management quality and visitor experience at the Kea-Kea Nature Tourism Park.
