Sustainable Tourism Development: A Model of Adaptive Destination Management in Lampung Province, Indonesia.

This study explores the development of a sustainable tourism management model in Lampung Province, Indonesia, emphasizing stakeholder participation, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The research utilizes an exploratory qualitative approach to identify and reconstruct an adaptive co-management model that enables stakeholders to share responsibilities and learn collaboratively within the tourism sector. The study's findings offer insights into the importance of adaptive participation and provide a foundation for future policy and practice in sustainable tourism management. The outcome involves redesigning adaptive co-management models, emphasizing a continuous process that allows stakeholders to collaboratively assume responsibilities within a framework where they can pursue their objectives, identify shared interests, gain insights from their institutions and methods, and adjust them for future iterations. At the same time, similar to adaptive management, the emphasis remains on experiential learning, recognizing the variety of knowledge systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
