IN THE development of tourism in the country, it is important to pay attention to the application of the tourism ecosystem order properly. Especially in the current era or situation of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) which describes change or vulnerability, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity as well as the COVID-19 pandemic situation which is one of the big challenges for the tourism sector and the creative economy.
According to the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, explaining, therefore, the order of the tourism ecosystem is very important to be applied in the tourism development scheme.
“The concept and approach of the tourism ecosystem is relevant and contextual in the midst of various efforts to strengthen innovation, adaptation, and collaboration while at the same time offering solutions at various levels of the playing field and the strength of the tourism and creative sector to win the pandemic,” said Sandiaga.
The paradigm of systems thinking and transformation of tourism ecosystems prioritizes changes from egocentric to ecocentric, cross-dimensional, cross-disciplinary, long-term dimension, human-centered, based on adaptive and dynamic management and governance, as well as sustainable value-oriented. Strengthening orchestration and symphony towards harmony, balance, serenity and happiness.
The quality of the ecosystem order will undoubtedly be able to avoid ecological disasters, denaturalization, decadence of value/dignity, social distrust, dehumanization, commercialization, and massive hegemony such as extreme climate change, death of ecosystem value chains and disequilibrium.
