This study examines tourism management that integrates cultural heritage and natural resource based collaboration at Masjid Tuo Kayu Jao in Solok Regency, West Sumatra. As a historic Minangkabau heritage site, the mosque offers architectural value and natural scenery that attract visitors. Using a descriptive qualitative method through observation, interviews, and literature review, the research identifies management strategies that support sustainable tourism. Findings indicate that stakeholder collaboration is essential to balancing cultural preservation with environmental utilization. Management efforts include restoration that maintains historical integrity, the development of eco-friendly facilities, and the enhancement of community participation. This approach not only safeguards the site and its surroundings but also generates socio-economic benefits. The study contributes to the development of a collaborative tourism management model aligned with sustainability principles and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Influence of the Integration of Natural and Cultural Attractions on the Tourist Appeal of Istano Basa Pagaruyung

2025-12-09T09:23:41+00:00

As a major cultural tourism destination in West Sumatra, Istano Basa Pagaruyung has great potential because it combines natural beauty (green hilly landscapes, terraced rice fields, rivers, and Mount Marapi) with the beauty of Minangkabau culture (gonjong architecture, philosophical carvings, and local traditions). However, due to partial management, the natural attractions have not been fully utilized, potentially reducing tourist appeal and the site's sustainability. The purpose of this study is to examine how the integration of natural and cultural attractions affects the tourist appeal of Istano Basa Pagaruyung. Furthermore, this study also aims to develop a sustainable tourism management strategy based on community-based tourism (CBT) and eco-edutourism. A qualitative approach was used in the study, and data collection techniques were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with managers and local community members, and literature review. The research results show that tourist satisfaction can be improved, destination image can be strengthened, and environmental and cultural preservation can be supported by the synergy of nature and culture reflected in the landscape around the palace, the Pacu Jawi tradition, Alu Katentong, and the local wisdom story "Alam Takambang Jadi Guru." Istano Basa Pagaruyung must become an authentic and competitive sustainable tourism destination with more planned integration through the development of eco-trails, community-based homestays, and digital promotion.

This study aims to analyze the role of the Padangpanjang Art Market as a cultural attraction and a platform for community creativity within the framework of developing culture-based tourism and the creative economy in Padangpanjang City. By shifting from conventional tourism paradigms to authentic experiences and the utilization of cultural heritage, the Padangpanjang Art Market has emerged as a local effort that combines art performances, culinary delights, and social interactions in an innovative public space. Using qualitative descriptive methods through literature review, in-depth interviews, field observations, and document collection, this study explores the dynamics of its organization, community participation, and the challenges encountered. Key findings indicate that the Padangpanjang Art Market boosts the local economy by increasing visits and trade activity at Padangpanjang Central Market. This weekly arts event serves as a platform for expression for artists, students, and creative groups, as well as a medium for preserving Minangkabau culture through performances of randai, traditional dance, saluang, and other arts. Participatory funding systems such as the "musician's box" demonstrate the initiative's independence, while content distribution by local content creators expands cultural promotion through digital channels. However, the study uncovered major constraints such as limited budget, manpower, and time allocation for the committee. In conclusion, Padangpanjang Art Market provides important support for strengthening cultural identity, empowering creative communities, and growing local tourism, but requires ongoing support to maintain its sustainability as an inclusive and energetic cultural space.
