This study aims to analyze the effect of the inflation rate on the number of Wismanto Indonesia Via Air Gateway. The data used covers the period from January 2017 to September 2024, focusing on the relationship between inflation as a macroeconomic factor and the number of tourists visiting Indonesia. The data analysis used in this study is regression analysis, supported by descriptive analysis of each variable. The regression analysis results show that the inflation rate has a significant positive effect on the number of international tourist arrivals. The regression coefficient of 156,266 indicates that every 1% increase in inflation has the potential to increase the number of international tourists by 156,266 individuals. The significance value of 0.000 indicates that this relationship is statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. These findings provide an understanding that although inflation is often associated with rising prices of goods and services, in the context of Indonesian tourism, inflation can be linked to other factors, such as exchange rate fluctuations, which increase Indonesia's appeal as a tourist destination. This study recommends that the government and stakeholders in the tourism sector consider the impact of inflation in tourism development strategies, while maintaining economic stability and international competitiveness. Further studies are recommended to explore other mediating variables, such as exchange rates and tourism promotion policies, in order to understand this relationship more comprehensively.  

This research aims to develop the potential of ecotourism based on local wisdom in the mangrove forest area of Tapak, Semarang City. The methods used include field observation, interviews with local stakeholders, and qualitative data analysis. The results show that local wisdom plays an important role in managing the mangrove ecosystem and improving community welfare. Traditional practices applied by the local community are effective in maintaining environmental balance and addressing threats of abrasion and pollution. The Tapak mangrove area faces significant challenges, including coastal erosion and industrial waste pollution, which threaten the ecosystem's sustainability.

This quantitative study uses SmartPLS3 to analyze the main issues related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Convention, and Exhibition) business actors, as well as the role of the hybrid model in maintaining the sustainability of MICE activities in Indonesia. This study focuses on five representative cities that are the main targets of MICE activities according to the government's strategic plan, namely Jakarta, Bogor, Bali, Yogyakarta, and Malang. The COVID-19 pandemic that has hit various countries, including Indonesia, for more than a year, has brought major challenges. The tourism and MICE sectors are among the most affected, with many business actors forced to stop their operations and switch to alternative sectors such as culinary, agriculture, and plantations as a means of survival. However, the emergence of the hybrid model has become an important solution for the MICE sector. Some alternative solutions adopted during the pandemic include organizing virtual MICE events, virtual tourism, webinars, and meetings through platforms such as Google Meet and Zoom. Teleconferencing has also become an important tool to maintain engagement. These adaptations highlight the increasing reliance on advanced technology to ensure the sustainability of the MICE industry. The implementation of these activities requires high creativity and quality in order to run well. This change emphasizes the importance of continuous innovation and utilization of technology by MICE industry players to navigate the ever-evolving landscape.

Muslim tourists may take advantage of a variety of Muslim-friendly tourism options, including halal tourism. A growing number of nations are considering expanding their halal tourist offerings, thanks to the industry's meteoric rise since 2018.

Thailand, a developing country in Southeast Asia, is striving to enhance its value and position on the world stage through the tourism industry. A country with a majority Buddhist population, Thailand is developing Halal Tourism as a new strategy to attract Muslim travelers.The development of halal tourism in Thailand is driven not only by economic motives but also non-economic considerations. Economically, the Thai government aims to open new destinations and expand the market to meet Muslim tourists' needs. A unique aspect is that Thailand has a minority Muslim population with a history of tension, especially in the Southern region. The government involves Southern Thai communities in halal tourism development, demonstrating efforts to create an inclusive society. This strategy is expected to ease political tensions that have existed due to economic disparities. By involving minority groups in tourism development, the Thai government hopes to achieve long-term peace and improve the country's positive image.
