Keywords:
Cultural Tourism; Challenges; Opportunities; Tourist Perspectives;Abstract
The cultural diversity of Yogyakarta, as the center of Javanese heritage passed down through generations, offers significant potential for cultural tourism development. This study explores the challenges and opportunities in developing cultural tourism in Yogyakarta from the perspective of visitors. A qualitative approach was employed by conducting in-depth interviews with five cultural tourists to capture their insights regarding the existing challenges and opportunities. The findings reveal two major challenges: the lack of effective promotion and inadequate infrastructure. On the other hand, opportunities lie in the growing potential of digital promotion and the involvement of local communities in cultural tourism management.Tourists highly appreciate authentic cultural experiences, which can be further enriched through innovation and collaboration among the government, tourism stakeholders, and local communities. This study highlights the importance of sustainable, community-based cultural tourism strategies to enhance Yogyakarta’s attractiveness as a cultural destination. The findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders in formulating strategies that not only generate economic benefits but also preserve and enrich the city’s cultural heritage.
