Mapping Contemporary Tourism Research: A Systematic Literature Review on Sustainable, Smart, and Inclusive Tourism Development
Contemporary tourism research has increasingly shifted toward integrated perspectives that combine sustainability, digital transformation, and social inclusion. This study aims to systematically map and synthesize scholarly developments in sustainable tourism, smart tourism, and inclusive tourism over the period 2015–2025. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach was employed following the PRISMA framework to ensure transparency and rigor in the selection and analysis of relevant studies. Data were collected from major academic databases and screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 82 eligible articles for final analysis. The findings reveal four dominant thematic clusters, namely sustainable tourism governance, smart tourism technologies, inclusive tourism development, and post-pandemic tourism transformation. Sustainable tourism remains the most established research area, focusing on environmental management and community-based development, while smart tourism is rapidly expanding through the adoption of artificial intelligence, big data, and digital platforms. Inclusive tourism, although growing, remains comparatively underdeveloped and fragmented. The study also identifies an emerging convergence between sustainability and smart tourism, while inclusivity is still weakly integrated within existing frameworks. Methodologically, qualitative and bibliometric approaches dominate the literature, with limited longitudinal and comparative studies. This research contributes by providing a comprehensive conceptual mapping and highlighting the need for an integrated tourism development framework that unifies sustainability, smart technologies, and inclusivity. The findings offer theoretical and practical implications for researchers, policymakers, and destination managers in advancing holistic and future-oriented tourism development models.
Tradisi Melayangan dalam Dinamika Budaya Populer dan Pariwisata Bali
Kite-flying tradition (melayangan) is one of Bali’s cultural heritages that continues to survive and develop amid the dynamics of popular culture and tourism. The growth of globalization, digital media, and the tourism industry have transformed this tradition from a post-harvest recreational activity within agrarian communities into a cultural festival, tourist attraction, and cultural representation in digital spaces. This study aims to analyse the existence of the kite-flying tradition in Balinese society, its transformation within the dynamics of popular culture and tourism, and its implications for cultural identity and tourism in Bali. The research employed a qualitative descriptive-interpretive approach, using document studies and digital observation as data collection techniques. Data were analysed descriptively using Stuart Hall’s Theory of Cultural Representation through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the kite-flying tradition remains an important part of Balinese cultural identity, embodying social, cultural, spiritual, and aesthetic values. The tradition has undergone transformation through cultural festivals, digital media, and tourism activities without losing its cultural identity. Furthermore, it contributes to strengthening cultural identity, preserving social solidarity, promoting Balinese culture in the global sphere, enhancing cultural tourism attractiveness, and supporting culture-based creative economy development. This study concludes that the kite-flying tradition represents a strategic cultural resource that supports the sustainability of Balinese cultural identity and tourism amid the challenges of globalization and modernization.

Analisis Potensi Pariwisata Budaya pada Goa Gajah di Gianyar: Studi Kasus Aspek Sejarah, Sosial dan Budaya
This study analyzes the cultural tourism potential of Goa Gajah in Gianyar, Bali, based on historical, social, and cultural aspects. While the research background highlights the threat of commercialization to the site's spiritual value, this study identifies a research gap in the lack of sustainable tourism studies that fully integrate socio-cultural aspects. Problems in the field include physical damage to facilities, spatial conflicts, and low participation from the local community. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through an intrinsic case study method, this research aims to formulate strategies for optimizing this potential without compromising the site's intrinsic value. Utilizing theories of cultural tourism and heritage values, data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that the primary potential of Goa Gajah stems from the unique historical syncretism of Shiva-Buddha, social interactions, and the preservation of local rituals. Development strategies include the implementation of conservation zoning, digital interpretation, and collaborative governance. The theoretical benefit of this research enriches the literature on history-based tourism, while its practical benefit provides policy recommendations for managers to achieve a balance between cultural site preservation and the economic welfare improvement of the surrounding community.

The Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Personalized Guest Experiences in Luxury Hotels in Surabaya
This study examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhances personalized guest experiences in luxury hotels in Surabaya while addressing the tension between technological efficiency and the human warmth expected in luxury hospitality. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-method design, the study combined survey data from 150 hotel guests with semi-structured interviews involving 10 general managers and IT directors from five five-star hotels. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The results show that AI significantly improves perceived personalization, with smart room controls, AI chatbots, recommendation engines, and predictive housekeeping emerging as key contributors. Smart room controls had the strongest positive effect, indicating that guest value seamless, ambient forms of personalization. However, privacy concern exerted a significant negative influence, revealing that AI benefits diminish when personalization is perceived as intrusive or opaque. The findings also highlight the critical moderating role of human staff responsiveness: AI creates the highest value when combined with empathetic and context-sensitive human interaction. Based on these results, the study proposes the Augmented Hospitality Framework, which conceptualizes luxury service as a hybrid model where AI supports operational intelligence and human staff provide emotional and relational depth. The study contributes to the literature on AI-enabled hospitality in an emerging Southeast Asian market and suggests that successful AI implementation depends on balancing personalization, privacy, and human-centered service.
Applying CLIL to Enhance English Proficiency in Culinary Vocational Training
Language barrier due to lack of practical English proficiency is one of the main reasons tourism and culinary graduates cannot communicate well in international work environment. The paper focuses on the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) method to be a potential tool in helping students of Denpasar Tourism Academy to develop their English language skills through culinary context. The research used a qualitative case study method with third-semester students of hospitality who were exposed to CLIL-based cooking classes. Data were gathered by means of interviews, observation and documents and thematic analysis was used to analyse them. The results revealed that the use of CLIL significantly improved students' acquisition of culinary vocabulary, phrases, and grammar as well as their willingness to speak English while performing practical work. On the other hand, problems were still found, such as variation in students' language levels and inability of lecturers to function bilingually. To resolve those problems, a number of strategies were suggested such as more intensive cooperation between English and culinary lecturers, language scaffolding, group work, authentic materials, and continuous teacher training. To sum up, CLIL is great way to bring together language and content learning to promote better English language communication as well as culinary skills. Effective usage of this technique calls for detailed preparation, institutional backing, and regular teacher development.

Dampak Kurang Berhasilnya Pengelolaan Sampah TPA Suwung terhadap Keberlanjutan Pariwisata Bali
Bali tourism is a strategic driver of the regional economy, yet its sustainability is increasingly threatened by environmental degradation, particularly the inadequate waste management at Suwung Landfill. Overcapacity, open dumping practices, leachate pollution, and methane emissions have generated ecological, aesthetic, and public health impacts that may weaken the image and competitiveness of Bali as a tourism destination. This study analyzes the impacts of inadequate waste management at Suwung Landfill on Bali tourism and formulates strategic waste management efforts aligned with strengthening the tourism sector. Using a qualitative descriptive design, this study applies thematic analysis to secondary data from scientific articles, official reports, and policy documents published between 2017 and 2025. The findings show that inadequate waste management at Suwung Landfill contributes to environmental deterioration, reduces tourists’ sense of safety and comfort, weakens destination image, and creates hidden economic costs through lower tourist satisfaction and loyalty. At the same time, tourism itself contributes significantly to waste generation, further increasing pressure on the landfill. The study recommends strengthening upstream waste reduction, limiting single-use plastics, reinforcing TPST as a pre-landfill filter, transforming landfill operations toward a sanitary landfill system, and promoting multi-stakeholder collaboration based on circular economy principles and green hotel practices. Integrating waste management with sustainable tourism.

Menyeimbangkan Antara Keaslian dan Penyesuaian Inovasi dalam Membentuk Identitas Kuliner Desa Wisata Hijau Bilebante
This study examines the meaning of Sasak culinary authenticity among business actors in Bilebante Tourism Village and the factors that influence their decisions to maintain or adapt traditional flavors. Based on an interpretive qualitative approach and Giddens' Structuration Theory, this research analyzes the dialectic between individual agency and socio-cultural structures. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of local culinary traditions. The research findings show that authenticity in Bilebante cuisine is not a fixed concept, but rather a social construct that continues to evolve through a process of negotiation between Sasak cultural heritage and the demands of the modern tourism market.

Generation Z and Intergenerational Sharing Behaviors After Faith-Based Musical Events in Manado
Faith-based musical events in Manado represent a unique intersection of religion, culture, and social connectivity in a region deeply rooted in Christian traditions. These gatherings serve not only as spiritual experiences but also as platforms for intergenerational bonding and digital expression. Generation Z (born 1997–2012) plays a central role—not just as participants but also as digital storytellers, using social media to share and shape narratives of faith. Grounded in electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) theory and generational media habit frameworks, this study addresses a gap in prior research that has largely overlooked faith-based events and their digital impact. The study investigates whether digital usage (such as booking, payment, and information sources) influences sharing behavior (H1), and whether event satisfaction (content, performers, facilities) also affects such behavior (H2). It further examines the impact of sharing behavior on loyalty (H3), and its mediating role between digital usage and loyalty (H4). This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how Gen Z’s online engagement with faith-based events shapes loyalty and intergenerational communication. The findings provide valuable insights for faith-based event organizers aiming to optimize attendee participation, digital outreach, and visitor retention through socially-driven strategies.
