Tourism is a significant socioeconomic activity in a coastal country such as Indonesia. However, it degrades the ecosystem quality when the increasing litter pollution is poorly managed in the marine tourism area. The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of tourism on the litter pollution on the Padar Island, Komodo National Park, Indonesia, specifically on the hiking track. According to the performed investigation, plastic litter was discovered dominant on the Padar Island (131 of 146 items). It was found that filter cigarette butts (49 items, 33.56%), candy wrapper (18 items, 12.33%), wet tissue/wet wipes (17 items, 11.64%) and outsole from shoe/sandals (13 items, 8.90%), dominated the litter collected. Smoking activity, food and beverage consumption, and hiking activity are all examples of activities that may result in litter from visitors in this national park area. Tourism impacts the litter pollution in the Padar Island hiking trail. Therefore, more robust awareness strategies and controls are required to reduce the litter pollution and prevent further consequences.

The development of ecotourism in Goa Rangko, Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, has increased waste generation, resulting in environmental degradation and negative impacts on the tourism industry. To address this issue and achieve sustainable tourism, this study aims to investigate the current waste management system in Goa Rangko and propose an optimized solution. The research was conducted through direct field observations and the collection of secondary data from literature and government documents. Waste characterization studies were undertaken to determine waste generation and composition. Based on the findings, a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) was recommended for waste management. The MRF would encompass a source-to-final processing system, ensuring efficient waste handling. Any residue from the process would be appropriately disposed of in the landfill. In addition to the MRF, the study proposes the involvement of the local community, along with education and awareness-raising programs. These initiatives aim to foster a sense of responsibility among the residents and tourists in managing waste sustainably. Moreover, the study suggests implementing an ecotourism certification program to support sustainable tourism development in Goa Rangko.

Impacts of Tourism on Marine Debris and Microplastic Detection at Samui Island, Southern Thailand
Proceedings INNODOCT/20. International Conference on Innovation, Documentation and Education
We investigated types, amounts and sources of marine debris and microplastics, and compared how tourism, by means of different levels of beach cleanup, affecting them. We collected marine debris and microplastics at three beaches based on frequencies of beach cleanup: high (Chaweng Beach), intermediate (Lamai Beach) and no beach cleaning (Hua Thanon Beach). Marine debris was counted from a ground survey using the applied Trash Free Sea® data card and the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) method. Microplastics with a size larger than 1 mm were examined and photographed using a clip-type mobile phone microscope. The Clean Coast Index (CCI) was used for the assessment of beach cleanliness. Over 95% of the marine debris was plastic, and microplastics were ubiquitous, which calls for classification of the plastics as hazardous materials. Hua Thanon Beach had the highest (CCI> 20) (extremely dirty), followed by Lamai Beach (2-5 CCI) and the least CCI was at Chaweng Beach (CCI<2) (...

Education for Sustainability, 2019
Waste management presents special challenges for tourism destinations in the developing world. Although large tourist inflows and accompanying development can greatly increase the volume of municipal waste, affluent travelers expect high aesthetic and sanitary standards to be met. Local governments often lack sufficient capacity to handle waste sustainably and local awareness of the need for waste segregation, recycling, or other practices may be low. In this chapter, the authors discuss two projects—in urban Hoi An, Vietnam, and rural Puncak, Indonesia—that are attempting to raise awareness and community capacity for waste management by involving local university students, researchers, government, and community groups in innovative waste education initiatives. The issues involved in solid waste management in rural and urban destinations may vary, as urban sites may find it easier to attract ODA or other external funding and expertise for implementing waste collection and treatment....
Integrated Models for Solid Waste Management in Tourism Regions: Langkawi Island, Malaysia
The population growth, changing consumption patterns, and rapid urbanization contribute significantly to the growing volumes of solid waste that are generated in urban settings. As the rate of urbanization increases, demand on the services of solid waste management increases. The rapid urban growth in Langkawi Island, Malaysia, combined with the increasing rates of solid waste production has provided evidence that the traditional solid waste management practices, particularly the methods of waste collection and disposal, are inefficient and quite nonsustainable. Accordingly, municipal managers and planners in Langkawi need to look for and adopt a model for solid waste management that emphasizes an efficient and sustainable management of solid wastes in Langkawi Island. This study presents the current practices of solid waste management in Langkawi Island, describes the composition of the solid waste generated in that area, and presents views of local residents and tourist on issues related to solid waste management like the aesthetic value of the island environment.
Solid Waste Management in Small Island Destinations: A Case Study of Gili Trawangan, Indonesia
Téoros. Revue de recherche en …, 2012
Solid waste management is a critical, complex, multi-dimensional challenge for societies. The nature of solid waste management in each community can differ based upon a number of factors including economic activities and geographies. Solid waste management in small island tourist communities is often complicated by their isolated geographies and tourism dominated economies, resulting in even greater challenges for ensuring sustainable solid waste management. This article discusses a case study of the small tourist island of Gili Trawangan, Indonesia that has addressed their long-standing issues of solid waste management through a governance and management approach centered on a multi-stakeholder partnership. The partnership involves collaboration between a community-based organization and environmental non-governmental organization, each having broader ties to stakeholders in the island community. Through this partnership they have seen improvements with stakeholder involvement, access to resources, financial support, transparency and accountability, and have been able to implement a number of key initiatives to improve waste management in this destination and move towards sustainability. Initiatives include source separation, expansion of collection services, revised collection fees, material reuse projects, education and awareness initiatives and enhanced planning.
