Sustainability in higher education involves the integration of sustainable principles, practices, and values into the fundamental functions of educational institutions, addressing environmental, social, and economic dimensions. This study aims to evaluate sustainability practices in Saudi higher education institutions, focusing on faculty members' perceptions. The primary objective is to assess the extent of sustainability implementation across academic, research, social, and environmental dimensions in Saudi universities. By leveraging faculty members' insights, the study seeks to identify areas of strength and weakness in current sustainability practices. The research adopts a descriptive and analytical approach, utilizing an electronic questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. A random sample of 275 faculty members from diverse Saudi universities actively participates in the study. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods are applied for data analysis and hypothesis testing. The findings indicate a limited implementation of sustainability practices within Saudi universities across various dimensions, as perceived by faculty members. Weaknesses are identified in academic, research, social, and environmental spheres. The study recommends that universities prioritize sustainability by establishing dedicated committees and drawing inspiration from successful institutions in the field. A clear strategic vision for sustainability is crucial for advancing these practices within higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia.

Using bibliometric analysis, this study aims to examine the progress, trends, and updates of mangrove ecotourism research within tourism studies. The primary data for this study were collected from the Scopus database with 306 publications and the Web of Science (WoS) database with 585 publications of mangrove ecotourism scientific documents published until the end of 2022. The results show that the first publication on mangrove ecotourism in the Scopus database was identified in 1992, while the first documents on the topic were included in the WoS database six years earlier, in 1986. The prominent keywords of mangrove ecotourism topics shared by publications in the Scopus and WoS databases were predominantly related to environmental and sustainability issues, such as conservation, biodiversity, and sustainable development. Based on geographical distribution, Asian countries and institutions have dominated recent publications on mangrove ecotourism. This means that the geographical distribution of publications on mangrove ecotourism is strongly influenced by the geographical distribution of mangrove ecosystems, which are mostly found in Asia.

Traditional ceremonies are one of the cultural representations that are passed down from generation to generation. The public's interest in traditional ceremonies has declined over time, especially for the younger generation. As part of the MarosPangkep Geopark, it needs special attention by UNESCO's vision and mission. This study aims to: (1). Know the difference of Mappalili Ceremony as cultural tourism in the perspective of Arajang and Balla Kalompoang, (2). know the sustainability of the Mappalili Ceremony in supporting the Maros-Pangkep Geopark according to UNESCO's vision and mission. This research uses qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and Tudang Sipulung. Data analysis using the Miles and Huberman model, namely: 1). Data collection is done through in-depth interviews and documentation, 2). Data reduction to generalize data from in-depth interviews, 3). Presentation of data to classify the results of interviews and process them, and 4). The Verification is done by pouring and making the final results according to the objectives. The results of the research obtained by the Mappalili Ceremony are a command ceremony to descend the rice fields. The Mappalili Ceremony has the potential to become cultural tourism because in the process there are several unique series of each tribe in managing agricultural land, especially rice fields. The Mappalili Ceremony is cultural tourism that can support the Maros-Pangkep Geopark according to UNESCO's vision and mission. Therefore, efforts to preserve cultural sustainability in the future need to be considered properly to support the development of cultural tourism in South Sulawesi.

Although it is crucial to investigate the effect of tourism components on satisfaction and revisit intention, there has not been any similar study that specifically explores the perception of young tourists visiting water parks. This study aims to investigate the effect of attraction, accessibility, and facilities on satisfaction and revisit intention. Using quantitative research methods with 269 young water park tourists, the data were analyzed by using SEM-PLS modeling. The results reveal that attraction, accessibility, and main facilities are significant predictors of satisfaction and revisit intention of young wate r park tourists. Meanwhile, the role of supporting facilities is not as important as the main ones. Support facilities do not impact revisit intention through young tourist satisfaction, even though tourists are satisfied with the support facilities, these supporting facilities do not make them intend to revisit. This study also discovers an interesting finding, that support facilities, both directly and indirectly, had no effect on revisit intention, and satisfaction does not mediate the effect of support facilities on revisit intention. These findings provide a meaningful insight for water park managers to provide tourism components that satisfy visitors so they have a strong intention to revisit.

The primary objective of this study is to examine the influence of social capital, government support, and entrepreneurial orientation on the improvement of sustainable rural tourism performance. Additionally, the study aims to identify a suitable model for enhancing the overall performance of sustainable rural tourism. Using a quantitative model, this study utilized the responses of 400 rural tourism administrators. SmartPLS 3.2 is used as a tool to analyze the collected data. Smart Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to assess the interrelationships among social capital, government support, entrepreneurial orientation, and sustainable rural tourism performance. The findings show a positive impact of social capital and entrepreneurial orientation on sustainable rural tourism performance, but government support does not impact on sustainable rural tourism performance. Furthermore, social capital and government support have a positive impact on entrepreneurial orientation. This study suggests the role of entrepreneurial orientation to increase the influence of social capital and government support on sustainable rural tourism performance. Finally, This research offers a conceptual contribution to authors investigating the sustainable performance of rural tourism. Additionally, it provides practical insights for stakeholders in rural tourism, aiding them in enhancing the sustainable performance of this sector.
