Abstract
Currently, the economic growth of some countries contributions by the vast development of the tourism sector and the development of a heritage site is one of the offers. Many tourists were aware of the citys status as a world heritage site that encompasses a historic center, monuments, and architectural buildings. One of tourist motivation can be heritage site perception with finding is indicate a distinct relationship between tourists- perceptions of the site relative to their heritage and motivation for visiting the site. The interpretation of authenticity is essential for the marketing and management of heritage attractions because existential authenticity is an antecedent to tourists- loyalty toward heritage sites. There are many problems or constraints from the process in tourism because of low control and lack of responsibility. Government still pay less attention to long term development which is policies is one of the barrier problems and sometimes not in democratic solution. Low level of involvement in the strategic planning in process and hierarchical top-down system also as a barrier needs to be attentive. Analyzed the problems, classification, and categorized 53 previous studies focused on heritage site has done. The study informed five elements correlation on tourism development and benefits as multiplier effects in tourism categories. The elements mentioned the tourist need and to be attracted, potential contribution, the constraints or problems in the process of visitation to the destination, stakeholders contributions and responsibility, and also strategic plan. The stakeholders contributions are the most significant element for taking responsibility, and the government as the main stakeholder who has to do the role of all process on heritage tourism development with policies and strategic plan to cover other elements. Government as the main stakeholder responsibility in processing on heritage tourism and with government hands can open partnership with other stakeholders (NGOs, Private, local community and visitors) to develop and then manage the heritage tourism easier.

Abstract
1. Introduction and research problem Today tourists tend to choose hotels that consistently implement environmentally friendly practices. In line with this phenomenon, the concept of sustainable accommodation must apply the principles of environmental conservation, education, ecology, community empowerment and the use of local products, as well as minimizing environmental damage. Rahmafitria (2014) in her research revealed that accommodation with environmentally friendly concepts and management is one of the parameters driving tourists to choose accommodation facilities. President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo asked that the development of ten new tourist destinations must be realized. The President also requested that tourism destinations are differentiated into the ten new Bali developments. The ten new Bali is a term to say that Bali is the most popular and important destinations in the country. Thus, tourists also have more destinations in choosing tourist destinations (Kompas.com). The hotel industry is highly competitive and is extensively driven by customer demand. Moreover, the customers preferences and expectations are changing from time to time. Therefore, to be able to win the attention of the consumers, the tourism businessmen have to rapidly adjust for the changes that occur in the market (Deloitte, 2018). In response to the consumer-s change of preference towards green products and services, the hotel industry is adopting sustainable practices and advertised towards potential customers (Martínez García de Leaniz, Herrero Crespo, & Gómez López, 2018). An environmentally friendly hotel can be categorized as the one that offers sustainable services and focuses on minimizing its negative impacts on the environment through reusing, reducing, and recycling. It is used by an eco-friendly use of water and energy (Dalton, Lockington, & Baldock, 2008). Going green is important to attract the new segment of conscious consumers and to stay competitively relevant to the targeted market, but is also financially beneficial for the related tourism industry. What green aspects the hotel have which differentiating them from the hotel competitors? 2. Methods The research was located in a 5-star hotel in Bali. The study population was a 5-star hotel. The sample size is determined by 10 percent of Tri Hita Karana (THK Award) recipients. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling with a sample size of 36 respondents and 6 hotels. The respondents are F & B Manager, Purchasing Manager, Learning Development Manager, Director of Engineering, Public Area Manager, and CSR Manager from 6 samples hotel, namely Melia Bali, St. Regis Bali, Intercontinental Hotel, Conrad Bali, Mandapa Bali, and The Royal Pita Maha Resort.

Abstract
Almost half a decade after the devastation of super typhoon Haiyan in 2013, there is still limited to no published empirical studies that documented and analyzed the role of hospitality and tourism employment on post-disaster recovery of indigenous peoples. This paper provides latest empirical data on hospitality and tourism employment of indigenous people in a post-disaster (post-Haiyan) context in rural-poor indigenous cultural communities in the Philippines. This study identified the various livelihood and employment challenges of the Mamanwa Indigenous peoples following the Haiyan disaster; their employment in the hospitality and tourism industry and its role in rebuilding their families and community; and practice-based recommendations to improve their participation in the hospitality and tourism industry. This study was conducted from November 2018 and April 2019 with five (5) Mamanwa Indigenous peoples who are hospitality and tourism workers in the Sohoton Cave and Natural Bridge Ecopark in the disaster-prone municipality of Basey, Philippines. The overall method utilized in gathering the data for this researcher is ethnography. The researcher deems this method as the suitable method in gathering data for this research because it is centered on the role of hospitality and tourism employment vis-a-vis post-disaster recovery of selected Mamanwa indigenous peoples. The livelihood of the Mamanwas circulate around handicraft-making, livestock raising, and farming which includes planting rice, root crops (e.g. sweet potatoes, cassava), and other plants used in making uway, banig, kaing, duyan, and baskets. They also sell handicrafts and raise animals such as pigs, ducks, and chickens. Since Mamanwa-s livelihoods are centered and dependent, they have limited job opportunities in their relocation site. Disasters exacerbate the vulnerability of indigenous peoples and the informants admitted that their lives in their current settlement is more difficult compared to their condition when they were still in the hinterlands but because of their intention to give their children formal education as well as relative access to other basic social services, they communally chose to stay in the relocation site. Limited to absent livelihood projects and programs are provided to these indigenous peoples. Livelihood options of indigenous peoples in their relocation site is limited to subsistence handicraft production with meager income. Mamanwas were employed as a daily-wage laborer of the Community Association that operate the Sohoton Cave and Natural Bridge in Basey. This employment helps augment their household income and support the daily needs of their families. However, and despite this opportunity, informants still experience varying forms of discrimination in their larger community and from some of their customers. There is a need to implement livelihood and enterprise development projects to help indigenous peoples, especially to those who suffered fro

Abstract
Indonesia-s tourism industry never ceases to grow rapidly. In 2017, Indonesia was ranked as the 20th country in the world tourist Industry and ranked as the 9th fastest growing in Southeast Asia (The Jakarta Post, 2018). In early 2019, Bank of Indonesia declared that tourism is the most effective sector boosting the national foreign exchange. The government aims to achieve 20 million outbound visits from Indonesia in 2019. Most of the outbound visits from Indonesia occurred during peak season of holiday, such as the Eid holiday, school holiday, and Christmas (year-end) holiday. In this industry, Indonesian traveler becomes an important key player. They are the ones making this industry as it is now. Their behavior, especially their decision making process, is indeed crucial for the government and corporates. It is important to study what the meaning of traveling for them, how they plan their vacation, which channel they prefer (online or offline) as seller, and which aspects matter the most in deciding the destination as well as the flight operator, hotel, travel agent, etc. This exploratory study aims to investigate the behavior of Indonesian travelers using the framework of Consumer Decision Making process by Hawkins and Mothersbaugh (2014). Through quantitative approach by survey, this study successfully gathered data from 1000 Indonesian travellers as respondents in Christmas holiday. The survey was deployed during 4 days at the airport. It aimed to gather the insights from local traveller who aged between 21 – above 50 years old. Purposive sampling technique was used when disseminating the questionnaire. There are five steps in consumer decision making process. Therefore, there are five major results in this study. Majority of Indonesian travellers in peak season travel for holiday once or twice in a year. Three crucial objects for travellers are flight operator, hotel, and travel agent. Online channel is the most preferred channel for buying flight operator and hotel, while offline channel is the most preferred channel for travel agent. For alternative evaluation, price competitiveness remains the most important factor in buying flight operator, hotel, and travel agent. For post-purchase behaviour, Indonesian travellers love to recommend their travel experience to their family and friends and spreading Word of Mouth; a proven way of promotion in the country. The findings of this research are expected to provide a thorough understanding towards the Indonesian travellers behaviour in peak season; the most important time for tourism industry based on Consumer Decision Making framework. It has strong practical implications for this industry, especially for the government and private sector.

Industry 4.0 has touched all sectors of industry, including tourism. The digital world has brought the competitions to a much higher level, and the future is absolutely much tougher than right now. Previous and recent researches have tried to seek solutions by making innovations and trying to upgrade their levels by analyzing the quantitative and qualitative data in many ways. One sure thing about upgrading levels is to ensure two-way communication. The biggest mistake for any tourism services is to let the customers wait for responds, which will disappoint the customers and the customers will find other alternatives. A report in 2017 by Nielsen has shown that today-s generation has traveled more than any generations, and the tourism world reacted by creating travel chatbots which are now parts of any tourism activities. With the increasing number of travel chatbots, customers will have abundant but also overlapping information. Data from each travel chatbots might end up giving different outcomes, different features for every apps or misleading information, and this in return will decrease customer satisfaction. This paper addresses this issue by analyzing the literature data from previous and recent researches and find where the travel chatbots must be patterned by integrating Artificial Intelligence, then the writer does a quantitative analysis to do significancy tests on the travel chatbot users relating to customer satisfaction. Overall, the result shows that travel chatbots are related positively and significantly to customer satisfaction, but the data also show that with overlapping information from many travel chatbots will leave the customers in confusion and decrease customer satisfaction. The travel companies will benefit from this paper to undertand customer needs in creating the best serving travel chatbots for better services.
