“…Recent studies also support this finding as historical, archaeological and museum sites are increasingly leading to integration with virtual platforms [37]- [39]. Another finding states that the latest features related to virtual tours are important points to provide a meaningful learning experience, even though, so far, the use of virtual tours has been more intensively carried out in the tourism sector [40]- [42]. Nevertheless, tourism cannot be separated from cultural heritage so that it enriches digital insight.…”

Nowadays, studying prehistoric sites in Indonesia has become convenient because of the touch of technology. We no longer need to spend money, time, and energy to visiting the sites in person. Virtual Reality (VR) is the commonly used immersive technology for virtualizing prehistoric sites. Cutting-edge research is utilizing Virtual Reality (VR) technology to construct virtual environments of prehistoric sites, allowing people to learn and enjoy them with flexibility. However, in the context of learning, its use is still quite limited due to general features. Therefore, it is necessary to develop applications with more complete and interactive learning features. The aim of this study is to develop a web-based Si-VirPraJa (Prehistoric Virtual Site) application. We employed research and development (R&D) to achieve the objectives of the research. Furthermore, we used the ADDIE development model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. We initiated the research by conducting a needs analysis study of the Si-VirPraJa App as expected by students and teachers. The needs analysis results formed the foundation for designing the application’s initial stage. Learning media experts tested it and provided assessments, suggestions, and comments. The Si-VirPraJa app, refined based on assessment results, suggestions, and comments from media experts, is implemented in a trial class to gather feedback from students and teachers. The findings suggested that students need a virtual tour-based application to study prehistoric sites in Indonesia. This necessary application must also include multiple features that facilitate learning. The findings from validation tests conducted by experts and trials class that the Si-VirPraJa application is viable for use as a learning media. The impact of using this application for learning is evident in students’ enhanced self-learning ability, improved comprehension of the material, and the generation of engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

“…Furthermore, this study is supported by the UTAUT. In this study, it was found that the sustainable halal environment and digital tourism offered tangible benefits for the tourism village community (Nautiyal & Polus, 2022). The technology employed as part of the digital tourism for promoting the sustainable halal environment should contain user-friendly features and be readily available to the rural community.…”

This study aims to investigate the influence of green economy, sustainable halal environment, and digital tourism on the community income in West Java and Lampung tourism villages. There was a total of 500 respondents participated in this quantitative study through a random sampling technique. The data was collected using a questionnaire measured using a 5-point Likert scale and analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0. The results show that the green economy, sustainable halal environment, and digital tourism have a positive and significant influence on the community income. Further, this study highlights that the digital tourism is able to positively moderate the influence of both green economy and sustainable halal environment on the community income. These findings imply that the developing innovative sustainable tourism business models not only increases the income of tourist village communities but also preserves the environment and promotes social inclusion. This offers valuable guidance for optimizing the economic benefits of tourism while minimizing its negative impacts on the environment and local communities.JEL: Z3.

In this study, it is aimed to evaluate online guided virtual tours, which started to be massified for the first time with the COVID-19 pandemic, as an alternative in the context of the tour guiding profession and to address them in a holistic manner. The pandemic is known to have accelerated the pace of digitalization globally and transformed many professions. It is seen that the tour guiding, which is considered one of the key stakeholders of the tourism sector, is also faced with new alternative practices in the face of this digitalization. Among these new applications, online guided virtual tours, which have become massive with the impact of global sharing platforms such as Airbnb and TripAdvisor, are considered as an alternative in the tour guide profession. Considering that digital and virtual applications have become widespread in recent years and have the potential to grow gradually, the investigation of online guided virtual tours, which are predicted to create an important alternative in the field of tour guiding, is important in terms of providing a perspective to the tour guiding profession and stakeholders. In this conceptual study, an evaluation and some suggestions are given in terms of the possible usage areas of these virtual tours in the field of tour guiding and their impact on the future of the profession.
