Preliminary findings and contributions<\/strong><\/h5>\n\nThe team employed an exploratory qualitative method, using an interdisciplinary lens that combined international relations and cultural anthropology. Their data collection included purposive interviews with academics, industry professionals, tourists, local residents, and policymakers, as well as participatory observation and literature review.<\/p>\n\n
Preliminary findings revealed that Surabaya attracted 18 million tourists in 2024. However, the sector contributed only 14.7% to the city\u2019s Regional Original Revenue (PAD)\u2014a shortfall the researchers attributed to inefficient retribution systems and weak coordination between the government and local stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cUrban tourism in Tunjungan reflects a glocalization process, where global and local elements merge. Surabaya\u2019s identity is showcased through the restoration of colonial buildings, local festivals, and historical storytelling, all combined with modern branding. However, the growing scale of tourism also brings the risk of cultural homogenization,\u201d Adhipratama said.<\/p>\n\n
He noted that one of the team\u2019s biggest challenges was navigating the diverse perspectives of interviewees and balancing different experiences among team members. They addressed this through a collaborative work environment based on knowledge sharing and clearly defined roles.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cWe hope this study can inform policy recommendations to promote sustainable tourism and inclusive economic development in Surabaya, in line with SDGs 8 and 11. We also aspire for our findings to inspire other regions in Indonesia to integrate tourism, culture, and sustainable development in a balanced and meaningful way,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n
