Residents’ Perception of Educational Tourism in Jakarta, Indonesia
Abstract
Residents’ perception of tourism development has received increasing interest from tourism industrymanagers. Although the number of tourists visiting Indonesia is increasing, the fact about educational tourism
and its effect on residents’ perception has not been explored. The objective of this study is to understand the
implication of educational tourism in relation to local residents. A qualitative approach was conducted with some
local residents. The study revealed those local residents’ both negative and positive aspects of educational
tourism. In practice, this research will have benefit for the Indonesian government, the host university and for
the local residents in the area.
