Abstract:
Tourism cannot be separated of the global response to climate change. There are
two things that linkages climate change and tourism, which are: the impacts of
climate change on tourism and the impact of tourism activities on climate change.
For these reasons, it is imperative for it to be well planned and managed, embracing
the principle of sustainable tourism. Pangandaran is one of the tourist destinations
in Indonesia which was affected by the tsunami in 2006 due to its vulnerability to
climate change. Seeing the achievement of the previous project in responding the
impact of tsunami in Pangandaran, therefore, 'Sustainable Tourism through Energy
Efficiency with Adaptation Mitigation Measures' (STREAM) in Pangandaran as
project of joint collaboration between Indonesia under the Ministry of Tourism and
Creative Economy with the UNWTO Consulting Unit on Tourism and Biodiversity
have been agreed to establish the project in 2011 until 2014 as the continuation of
the previous project in Pangandaran through a practical of sustainable tourism to
address the solution in the fight against climate change. This joint collaboration
involves the transnational actors such us Indecon, IESR, adelphy, and local
participation with significant roles in implementing the sustainable tourism
development to respond ecological crisis and climate change in Pangandaran. The
research of this thesis aims to describe the involvement of transnational actors in
the implementation of STREAM project as a joint collaboration project between
Indonesia and UNWTO in respond to climate change by sustainable tourism with
energy efficiency, adaptation and mitigation measure. This thesis is written using
qualitative method in analyzing the case chosen and in gathering all the data needed,
with the combination from descriptive analytical research method to elaborate the
primary sources. The result of this thesis will explain in detail on how the
transnational actors involved in the implementation of STREAM as pilot project
that can contribute to respond climate change through sustainable tourism to be
replicated in other destinations in Indonesia and beyond.
