Implementation of the Management Policy for the Historical Tourism Object of Penyengat Island

Abstract

Penyengat Island as a tourist destination has many heritages that have historical value in the form of buildings that have been made into cultural heritage sites, as stipulated in Regional Regulation No. 8 of 2018 Tanjungpinang City. The research objective was to determine the implementation of tourism object management carried out by the Culture and Tourism Office of Tanjungpinang City referring to Edward III's theory, namely, indicators of Communication, Disposition (Attitude), Bureaucratic Structure and Resources. This study used a qualitative research method with a sample of 7 (seven) informants, namely 2 (two) Heads of History and Cultural Heritage and Head of Tourism Destinations and Marketing, 1 (one) member of POKDARWIS and 4 (persons) tourists.  The results of the research based on communication indicators, the Culture and Tourism Office of Tanjungpinang City have been successful with the formation of the Penyengat Island Tourism Awareness Group as the executor of the management policy of Penyengat Island. Furthermore, the Disposition (Attitude) indicator, the implementation of the management policy of Penyengat Island, holds activity events. Furthermore, the resource indicator,human resources in implementing the management policy of Penyengat Island, is quite good and is equipped with the training provided and receives a revitalization budget of Rp. 20.8 billion which was used to revitalize the Pulau Penyengat Great Mosque, and in 2023 a revitalization budget of Rp. 43 billion which will be used for the arrangement of  the Penyengat Island pier. Furthermore, as an indicator of Bureaucratic Structure, the Culture and Tourism Office of Tanjungpinang City in carrying out the management policy of Penyengat Island is assisted by the Tourism Awareness Group (POKDARWIS) and assisted by private parties. The conclusion of the research is considered ineffective because there is no bureaucratic structure that oversees the implementation of the management policy of Penyengat Island.
