Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine what factors are determining the level of satisfaction in agro-tourists and define the possible ways and means to enhance their satisfaction levels in promoting agro-tourism in Sri Lanka. There are four specific objectives in the study; to examine the current situation of the ago-tourism industry in Sri Lanka, to study the agro-tourism destination characteristics and socio-demographic characteristics of tourists, to analyze the relationship between the level of satisfaction, agro-tourism destination characteristics and socio-demographic characteristics of agro-tourist, and to discuss possible policy measures and management strategies to enhance tourist satisfaction and positive experience for agro-tourists in Sri Lanka. Research Methodology: This research utilized both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The gathered data were analyzed using five instruments; reliability test, inferential analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, regression analysis, and Kruskal Wallis test. Results: Ten possible policy measures and management strategies to enhance tourist satisfaction and positive experience for agro-tourists in Sri Lanka. Limitation: This research is limited to investigating the factors that affect the tourist satisfaction of agro-tourists. The scope focused on three areas, destination, tourist, and travel characteristics. The study focused on foreign tourists who have already visited Sri Lanka and been to agro-tourism sites. Contribution: This study is based on one such tourism concept which promotes in agricultural societies. The agro-tourism in Sri Lanka is identified as an important aspect of gaining the benefits of tourism. The satisfaction of the tourist must be ensured in the tourism industry for the long-term benefit of the business. The study contributes by suggesting actions and projects for agro-tourism satisfaction. Keywords: 1. Agro-tourism 2. Tourist Satisfaction 3. Demographic Characteristics 4. Destination characteristics

Abstract: Purpose: Protected areas remain an indispensable haven for wildlife resources, and fringe communities must participate in protected area management. Conflicts do arise amongst stakeholders and to resolve these conflicts and to get the best result out of protected areas, the co-management approach is apt, and community leaders play a major role in this direction. However, the focus of this paper is to explore how effective community leaders are in the co-management process. Research methodology: Mixed method approach was used in this study. For data collection, Questionnaire administration, Focus Group Discussions, and Key Informant Interviews were used in gathering the data. Data analysis was performed using SPSS where results were presented as descriptive statistics supported by content analysis. Findings: The study revealed that the fringe communities endorse their leaders as the most effective in protected Area management. The study also showed that both the surrounding communities and the Mole national park benefit positively from collaborative management. Limitations: Some of the community people who were sampled for the question administration were skeptical and reluctant in giving an audience to the researcher with the fear of being cited with contempt of interfering with the work of wildlife staff, but this was later resolved. In addition, the geographical scope of the study was limited to only three communities due to funding challenges. Contribution: The study could engender the development of benefit-sharing schemes in protected areas and could also lead to the discovery of eco-tourism potentials of some of the fringe communities. Keywords: 1. Collaboration 2. Effectiveness 3. Participation 4. Stakeholders

Abstract Purpose: This study aims to predict the number of foreign tourists who come to Indonesia during the pandemic. Research Methodology: Forecasting using the Holt-Winters Multiplicative method and secondary data, namely the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia obtained from the website of the Central Statistics Agency. Results: Based on the forecast, in November and December 2021, the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia will increase because it coincides with the Christmas and New Year holidays. However, from January-October 2022, the visit rate continued to decline. The possibility of an increase in confirmed cases of COVID-19 due to the December forecast, namely the increased mobility of people to tourist destinations to spend the holiday, could be due to the global economic crisis due to COVID-19 cases. Limitations: The number of foreign tourist visits data on the Central Bureau of Statistics website is only available from early 2017 to October 2021. Contribution: Forecasting results can be used as a reference for the Indonesian government in formulating policies in anticipating the arrival of foreign tourists during the pandemic so that the recovery of the economic sector can be maximized.

Abstract Purpose: The main objective of this work is to evaluate the natural capital and ecosystem services of the Aquidauana River and the role of Lontra longicaudis and Pteronura brasiliensis as environmental assets for the development of conservation tourism. Research Methodology: First, a system diagram was built to organize ideas and relationships between components and resource flows. Second, it was to construct tables of emergy flows directly from the diagrams. Quantities of stored emergy of environmental resources are calculated from the sum of the emergy of all inputs and then multiplied by the time it takes to accumulate the storage. Results: The main services with market values provided by the Aquidauana River are water supply, tourism, and fishing. The neotropical otter exhibited the largest asset in the system, followed by the giant otter and the indigenous culture. Limitations: Application of the emergy method to define public policies that lead to the real valuation of environmental assets and promote the social mobilization needed to change adverse realities. Contribution: The giant otter and neotropical otter values represent more than 90% of all values listed as environmental assets in the Aquidauana River System. The results can be important for the definition of public policies aimed at conservation tourism. With an appropriate social mobilization program, associated with economic and environmental education, the local economy could be strengthened, along with the protection of biodiversity.

Abstract Purpose: Information about the status of wildlife in Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC) which is required for biodiversity policy-making is lacking. Methods: Day foot patrol to monitor wildlife in LCC was carried out and the wildlife species present were identified from January to December 2020. Data of animals sighted in the patrol and by the tourists were compared with records of animals sighted from March to July 2010 as recorded in the Protection Report Diary. Results: The findings indicated a decline in the population of squirrel (Heliosciurus gambianus) and bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus). Limitation: A list of fauna in LCC forest is provided as a result of the foot patrol although, some parts of the forest were inaccessible. Contribution: The perception of ecotourists is highlighted which can serve as feedback about their experience with the resources useful for biodiversity policy. Conclusion: Species diversity in the Protection Report Diary (in 2010) was higher compared to the total number of wildlife species sighted by visitors (in 2021) and during the patrol (in 2020) indicating that some wildlife species in LCC declined within 10years.

Abstract Purpose: The designation of the Gunungsewu UNESCO Global Geopark has implications for the development of various tourism destinations. This article seeks to reveal how the development of the Gunungsewu geopark in Gunungkidul district as a tourism destination. Methods: This study uses a qualitative method. The data used were descriptive data, with in-depth analysis. Collecting samples through proportional sampling, the selection of samples depends on the purpose of the study without regard to the ability of a generalist. Results: The level of development of tourism destinations in mountain geoparks varies based on Butler's classification of tourism destination development. Determination of an area with unique geomorphology cannot simultaneously lift the entire area into a tourist destination. Limitation: This study focuses on developing a geosite seen as a tourism destination. This study emphasizes observing the development of tourism destinations using the “Tourism Area Life Cycle” approach proposed by Butler (1980). Contribution: This research is expected to benefit the development of tourism science and geoparks in Indonesia. Conclusion: Species diversity in the Protection Report Diary (in 2010) was higher compared to the total number of wildlife species sighted by visitors (in 2021) and during the patrol (in 2020) indicating that some wildlife species in LCC declined within 10 years.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand food fraud awareness and understanding from the Malaysian consumers' perspective. Research methodology: Five face-to-face in-depth interviews using random purposive sampling were administered to obtain insights into Malaysian consumers' multiple realities. A peer review with an expert in quality control of the food supply chain was done to increase data trustworthiness and validate the findings. Results: The findings indicated that awareness about food fraud among Malaysian consumers is relatively low.
