Halal tourism has attracted a lot of attention in contemporary tourism and hospitality research. However, only a few studies have been conducted to understand the emerging process and challenges in practising halal tourism in a specific geographic location. This article attempts to investigate the new emerging halal tourism that has been taking place in Aceh, post-tsunami 2004. This paper is based on the fieldwork conducted in 2016 and 2017 in Aceh applying interview and focus group discussion with the tour guides, tour agents, community, and local government. Moreover, additional online interviews were performed in 2020. By understanding the process, this article suggests that a new niche of ‘halal tourism’ can also be driven by the community needs rather than tourist’s market needs. Moreover, the implementation of halal tourism under the Sharia Law has been challenged by both internal and external factors. Internally, it is challenged by the risk of natural disaster, the possibility of political instability, and institutional certification problems. Meanwhile, externally, practising halal tourism is challenged by the misperceptions of Islam (Islamophobia) and marketing label.

The fashion industry is included in the top three creative industry sectors in Indonesia. The development of the fashion industry is also supported by various parties and is also enlivened by the distinctive fashion of Indonesian traditional fabrics. Several traditional Indonesian fabrics, such as batik, lurik, Lombok songket have successfully penetrated the international market, so the opportunity to continue developing the fashion industry with traditional fabrics is still large. One of them is to use a typical Sumba woven cloth which is not gaining popularity with Sumba as a tourist destination. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of digging deeper into the factors that shape the brand awareness of Sumba woven fabrics. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and phenomenological methods, with data collection using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) technique. The results showed that the factors that formed brand awareness of Sumba woven fabrics were divided into two, namely internal and external factors. Internal factors are factors that come from the product itself, such as motif, price, color, age of fabric, quality, craftsmen. While external factors come from outside the product, including the power of word of mouth, organizing events (exhibitions), government involvement (regional and central), and showing the identity of the wearer. Industri fashion termasuk dalam tiga besar sektor industri kreatif di Indonesia. Perkembangan industri fashion ini juga didukung berbagai pihak, serta turut diramaikan dengan fashion khas kain tradisional Indonesia. Beberapa kain tradisional Indonesia, seperti batik, lurik, songket Lombok telah berhasil menembus pasar internasional, sehingga peluang untuk terus mengembangkan industri fashion dengan kain tradisional masih besar. Salah satunya adalah dengan menggunakan kain tenun khas Sumba yang kurang mendapatkan popularitas dengan Sumba sebagai destinasi wisata. Oleh karenanya, penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk menggali lebih dalam mengenai faktor yang membentuk brand awareness kain tenun Sumba. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode fenomenologi, dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang membentuk brand awareness atas produk kain tenun Sumba dibedakan menjadi dua, yaitu faktor internal dan eksternal. Faktor internal merupakan faktor yang berasal dari produk sendiri, seperti motif, harga, warna, usia kain, kualitas, pengarajin. Sedangkan faktor eskternal berasal dari luar produk, meliputi kekuatan dari word of mouth, penyelenggaraan event (pameran), keterlibatan pemerintah (daerah dan pusat), dan menunjukkan identitas pemakainya.

Background Breech presentation at term occurs in 3%–5% of pregnancies. Many midwives are not skilled in vaginal breech births which affects the safety of vaginal breech birth. This research study begins to explore the influencing factors for skill attainment and potential areas for change to enhance education and competence. Method This was a small exploratory qualitative study that used a focus group with four participants for data collection. Findings The influence of internal and external factors in midwives' competence are represented by a ‘continuum of change’ and by moving from a place of fear to one of educational enlightenment. This encompasses three themes: ‘not a good place’, ‘changing the tide’ and ‘new normal’. Conclusion Education of student midwives and registered midwives is key in creating a safe space for vaginal breech births. Introducing normal physiology early in curriculums can impact the initial framing of vaginal breech birth. The uptake of specialised physiological breech birth training by registered midwives and other birth practitioners is upskilling all practitioners.
