The development of halal tourism has encouraged sharia hotels to provide services that are not only comfortable and functional, but also consistent with Islamic values and halal assurance. This study aims to analyze the integration strategy between sharia hotels and halal restaurants in increasing guest visits and satisfaction at Mangkuto Sharia Hotel Payakumbuh. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving hotel management, operational employees, guests, sharia certification experts, and representatives of the local government. The data were analyzed descriptively and strengthened through strategic analysis using the Resource-Based View (RBV), Value Chain, SWOT analysis, IFAS-EFAS matrix, TOWS matrix, and Blue Ocean Strategy. The findings reveal that service integration was implemented through sharia-based operational policies, halal assurance systems in restaurant activities, and cross-departmental coordination between the front office, housekeeping, and food and beverage departments. This integration created added value in the form of physical comfort, emotional trust, and spiritual peace for guests. Internal hotel data also indicated an increase in occupancy rates from 26% in 2020 to 52% in 2024 following the implementation of the sharia concept and halal restaurant integration. Strategic analysis positioned the hotel in Quadrant I (aggressive growth strategy), supported by its halal reputation, Islamic organizational culture, guest trust, and its uniqueness as the first sharia hotel in West Sumatra certified by the National Sharia Council–Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI). The implication of this study shows that the integration of sharia hospitality can serve as a competitive product strategy rather than merely a compliance instrument, while also supporting the development of regional halal tourism.

The highly competitive healthcare industry in Cirebon poses a significant challenge for Klinik Utama X, especially as a non-BPJS facility. This condition requires a paradigm shift from a provider-centric marketing mix to a patient-centric approach to retain patient loyalty. This study aims to evaluate and formulate the marketing strategy of Klinik Utama X using a comparative 4P (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) and 4C (Customer Solution, Customer Cost, Convenience, Communication) approach based on SWOT analysis. This research used a qualitative descriptive design with purposive sampling, gathering primary and secondary data through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. The data were systematically evaluated using Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) and External Factor Evaluation (EFE) matrices. The findings reveal that the clinic is strategically positioned in Quadrant I, with an IFAS score of 2.53 and an EFAS score of 2.60, indicating strong internal capabilities to seize external opportunities. The recommended aggressive growth strategy involves integrating psychiatric and aesthetic services, penetrating the Business-to-Business (B2B) market through corporate medical check-ups, accelerating digitalization via telemedicine and online queuing, and preparing for BPJS accreditation. The managerial implications suggest that the clinic must prioritize resolving internal human resources and strengthening financial record-keeping systems before investing heavily in medical assets, while actively expanding digital convenience and corporate partnerships to secure short-term financial stability.

Every company must have a certain strategy to attract the attention of consumers (visitors). Seeing the decline in the number of visitors to the Kinantan Wildlife and Cultural Park in 2023. TMSBK has carried out renovations aimed at beautifying it and attracting the attention of visitors. Regarding this renovation, it is included in one of the marketing mix (7P), namely Physical Evidence. According to Kotler and Armstrong, Physical Evidence is one of the real things that influences consumers' decisions to buy and use the products or services offered. However, what happened was that the number of visitors decreased. The research method used is to use a field research method or qualitative field research, namely direct observation of the object being studied in order to obtain relevant data. The primary data source in this research is the management of TMSBK Bukittinggi, while the secondary data source is the visitors of TMSBK Bukittinggi. According to the research findings, the IFAS matrix score of 2.57 suggests that the company holds a strong internal position. Conversely, the EFAS matrix score of 2.40 indicates a weak external position for the company. This means that the company does not take advantage of existing opportunities or avoid external threats. Then, seen from a sharia business perspective, TMSBK has not been optimal in implementing the sharia business concept, because in Islam itself good business will provide mutual benefits between the company and visitors, especially in providing services to visitors. However, TMSBK focuses more on renovating tourist attractions and does not prioritize services to provide comfort to visitors.
