Predicting Future Halal Tourist Behavior: Incorporating Holistic Tourist Experience and Virtual Reality Experience

This study evaluates the role of experience visiting tourism destination in person as well as via VR in predicting Muslim tourist behavioral intention during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data were gathered using an online survey from 291 Muslim tourists from Muslim majority countries as well as non-Muslim majority countries. Partial least square was utilized to assess the behavioral intention model. The result shows that behavioral intention of tourists from Muslim countries is driven by experience quality and experience via VR, while tourists from non-Muslim countries are driven by experience with VR. Further, halal experience is not a significant factor in driving behavioral intention for halal tourists from both Muslim and non- Muslim countries

Attitudes and behaviour intention in consuming plant-based food: Evidence from young tourists in Indonesia

Purpose – This research aims to observe the attitudes and behavioural intentions of young tourists in relation to their experiences of consuming PBF, including value consumption, concern for the environment and perceived cost as influencing factors. Methodology/Design/Approach – Considering that it is almost impossible to determine the sample frame for young tourists in Indonesia, this research used a non-probability sample to collect the sample. The study focused on young tourists aged 18 to 35 years old who have experience of consuming PBF while travelling. A self-administered online questionnaire was provided to tourists visiting a destination from July to September 2022, resulting in 267 usable responses. Findings – Tourists’ attitude towards PBF leads to their intention to buy again during or after their visit and to offer profitable e-WOM. In addition, perceived cost moderates the relationship between attitude and e-WOM; however, it does not provide evidence for the moderating role between attitude and repurchase intention. Originality of the research – This study highlights the value of consumption, concern for the environment and perceived costs as factors influencing tourists’ attitudes and behavioural intentions towards public transport

Training and Making Guidelines for Organizing Hybrid Exhibitions

Exhibition is a sub-sector of the creative economy and part of the tourism industry that developed well in Indonesia before Covid-19. Exhibition activities, which were actually gathering large numbers of people, became one of the industries hardest hit and even stopped completely, even though alternative technologies that facilitated online meetings began to develop at that time. Currently, after the handling of Covid-19 has improved considerably, the concept of hybrid exhibitions has begun to emerge and provides an alternative for industry players in conducting exhibitions. Unfortunately, many industry players do not understand how the concept of hybrid exhibitions does not try to completely replace conventional exhibitions. In addition, there is a need for training and guidance that will facilitate industry players in carrying out hybrid exhibitions. Community Service with this community partnership program (PKM) scheme helps ASPERAPI (Exhibition Organizer Association) DPD West Java as a partner in making Hybrid Exhibition Organizing Guidelines and training its members. Another objective is to provide additional skills and knowledge for ASPERAPI members in facing the challenges of present and future exhibition activities. The challenges facing partners today are how to restore business while at the same time reaching more audiences by utilizing hybrid technology/applications. The implementation method is mentoring, training and making guides with the outputs of intellectual property rights and scientific articles and service articles as activity reports

Driving tourist to be green 7_DATA.xlsx

Food is an essential component of the tourism experience, yet its production is said to significantly influences global warming and climate change. One strategy to minimise global warming is to offer tourists an environmentally friendly diet option such as plant-based foods (PBF). This research data observes the formation of young tourists' attitudes and behavioural intentions on their experiences of PBF consumption by incorporating value consumption, concern for the environment, and perceived costs as the influencing factors. Data was collected from 267 young tourists in Indonesia. </p
