Spatial restructuring of tourism destinations is important not only for optimizing the spatial structure but also for promoting its sustainable development. This study adopted participatory rural assessment (PRA), GIS spatial analysis, and Google Earth remote sensing images as the main research methodology. The case studies of mountain resort destination, Huangshui Town, and seaside resort destination, Jinshitan, were analyzed. The study contributes to complex morphological evolution from the perspectives of external structure expansion and internal function reconstruction, revealing the spatial characteristics and explaining the influencing factors. The results showed that (1) in the process of tourism development, these two places have experienced large-scale growth of construction land and expansion of spatial scope. The external spatial structure of Huangshui Town is concentrated in the center and is scattered outward, changing from the form of a strip to a radiating pattern and finally to clusters. The spatial layout of Jinshitan has shifted from scattered to concentrated, changing from scattered to a strip along the coastline. (2) In particular, the internal functional structures of the two places have transitioned from a single residential function to a multicomposite function that integrates accommodation, dining, and entertainment. Among them, Huangshui Town is an “axial belt + group type” structure, and Jinshitan is a “wave type” structure. (3) The results also showed that natural factors such as traffic, terrain, rivers, lakes, and coastlines and anthropogenic factors such as government intervention and community participation are the main factors affecting the evolution of the spatial form of tourism destinations. The two tourist destinations in the study represent mountain resort type and coastal resort type, thereby showing that the spatial structure evolution model has certain typicality and representativeness.

The growth of tourism in South Africa after the end of apartheid can be associated with the growth of various forms of special interest tourism. Religious tourism as a form of special interest tourism is possibly the most important contributor of tourism geographical dispersion in South Africa. South Africa's religious tourism is dominated by Christian religious pilgrimage. Religious pilgrimages produce positive spin off for many destinations in South Africa, which may not be regarded as traditional tourism destinations. Religious-linked domestic travel continues to dominate domestic tourism expenditure. The existence of several African Initiated Churches such as the Zion Christian Church and the Nazareth Baptist Church attract several million worshippers during their religious pilgrimages, attracting worshippers beyond South Africa. Robben Island, which is a shrine for the anti-apartheid struggle, has a glorious Muslim resistance history, which is yet to be exploited by the Robben Island Museum. This chapter adds to the academic literature on religious tourism.

The Times

the existence of the people's market is currently being eroded by the swift flow of global trade which is realized by the rise of modern retail that is also available around the market, making people switch from buying necessities in the market and replacing them with shopping in the modern market with various facilities. This condition makes people's markets increasingly abandoned so that people's markets inevitably have to change by the times. This paper aims to explore the tourism potential of the Pasar Batuah  which is managed by the Regional Company of Bauntung Batuah (PD Pasar Bauntung Batuah). This paper also aims to provide information and recommendations to the Banjar Regency government on several local regulations related to tourism and local market regulations which must be revised. By using an explorative qualitative analysis method in which the writer explores as much information as possible from the source to explore the potential of the Pasar Batuah. Pasar Batuah is a well-known market both at home and abroad because of its commodities such as gold, natural stones, culinary and natural handicrafts. Besides that, the location of the market is integrated with other markets, including the Cahaya Bumi Selamat market (CBS), the Sekumpul Shopping Center (PPS), and also the Culinary Tourism Area (KWK). Pasar Batuah is also close to one of the most well-known religious tourism destinations in South Kalimantan, the Tomb of Guru Sekumpul making this market a potential to be developed and branding as one of the shopping tourism destinations in South Kalimantan. Suggestions for the Banjar district government and PD Pasar Bauntung Batuah are to strengthen the market traders organization by forming a market traders association, establishing a connecting location between the Pasar Bauntung and the CBS by creating a showroom of handicraft of natural stones and jewelry, and making connecting vehicles to get around the lack of land parking. Keywords:  Pasar Rakyat, Pasar Batuah, Tourism potential. Abstrak Eksistensi pasar rakyat saat ini mulai tergerus dengan derasnya arus perdagangan global yang diwujudkan dengan maraknya retail modern yang terdapat di sekeliling pasar rakyat sehingga membuat masyarakat beralih dari membeli kebutuhan pokok di pasar dan menggantinya dengan berbelanja di pasar modern dengan berbagai fasilitas. Kondisi ini membuat pasar rakyat semakin ditinggalkan, sehingga pasar rakyat mau tidak mau harus berubah sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman.. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi potensi pariwisata yang dimiliki oleh Pasar Batuah yang dikelola oleh Perusahaan Daerah (PD) Pasar Bauntung Batuah. Tulisan ini juga bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi dan rekomendasi kepada pemerintah Kabupaten Banjar terhadap beberapa Peraturan Daerah (Perda) terkait pariwisata dan pasar rakyat yang sudah harus direvisi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis kualitatif eksploratif. Pasar Batuah merupakan pasar yang sudah dikenal luas baik di dalam maupun di luar negeri karena komoditas yang diperjualbelikan seperti emas, batu-batuan alam, kuliner dan hasil kerajinan alam. Di samping itu lokasi pasar terintegrasi dengan pasar lainnya termasuk Pasar Cahaya Bumi Selamat, Pusat Pertokoan Sekumpul (PPS) dan juga Kawasan Wisata Kuliner (KWK). Pasar Batuah juga berdekatan dengan salah satu destinasi wisata religi yang sudah cukup terkenal di Kalimantan Selatan yakni Makam Guru Sekumpul menjadikan pasar ini potensial untuk dikembangkan dan di-branding sebagai salah satu destinasi wisata belanja di Kalimantan Selatan. Rekomendasi bagi pemerintah kabupaten Banjar dan PD pasar bauntung batuah adalah memperkuat organisasi pedagang pasar dengan membentuk paguyuban pedagang pasar, membuat lokasi penghubung antara pasar bauntung batuah dengan pasar CBS dengan membuat showroom kerajinan batu-batu alam dan perhiasan, serta membuat kendaraan sambung untuk menyiasati minimnya lahan parkir.
