Keywords:
Economic Growth, Religious Tourism, Sustainable TourismAbstract
Tourism is a sector that plays an important role for the economy of a country because its existence is related to various sectors. In addition to foreign exchange earnings, the tourism sector contributes to economic growth through several channels, for example encouraging investment activities in the fields of transportation and communication, hotels, handicraft industries, consumer product industries, service industries, restaurants and so on. Religious tourism which is part of cultural tourism is a tourist object that contains religious values, for example the tombs of guardians and ancestors/great religious figures and mosques that are unique. In East Java, religious tourism has superior potential because most of the population is Muslim and has a culture of high religiosity. So it's no wonder that throughout the year religious tourism destinations are always crowded with tourists from various regions. The high interest in religious tourism in East Java has had a positive impact on the economic sector, especially SMEs in the surrounding community. But on the other hand, the high interest of tourists in certain tourist objects has a negative impact on the environment. This is due to a lack of awareness from tourists and tourism managers regarding the implementation of sustainable tourism. So this study aims to formulate a development strategy by applying the concept of sustainable tourism to religious tourism in East Java. With a qualitative approach, an in-depth analysis of a phenomenon is carried out using a literature review of data sources, theories, and previous studies. The results of this study indicate that sustainable tourism in religious tourism in East Java can be implemented through several components.
