RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AND TOURISM BEHAVIOR IN FORMING A COUNTRY'S COMPETITIVENESS

Abstract

The term "Tourism Behavior" is unusual, unconventional, strange sounds in our ears, or even the term is not / has not been there before. But that is the dynamics for advancement. We have the courage to express the thing we believe is the truth. There are three elements that make up the tourism behavior, namely: Tourism Buyer Behavior, Product Seller Behavior, and Marketing Behavior. The interaction between one element to another is a process that never stops. From time-to-time changes from an element bring the impact of changes on the other two elements. The process of interaction between the 3 elements is what the authors refer to as the Tourism Behavior. How does that affect the dynamics of the 3 elements? Tourism Education and learning process is the answer because of the human interaction that occurs when there is: behavior, structure and proces within the organization. What can we take from a long process, with a shift in the term, which when examined in terms of language? It is certainly not acceptable or very likely not to meet the rules of the language to be published. However, from some basic considerations and arguments, where the behavior of organizations and the behavior of tourism there is a relationship of dependence (interdependence) with science in Organizational Culture Management or Organizational Behavior, which has long been discussed in management books. Then the author firmly links the term tourism behavior, as feedback from the needs and desires of consumers (tourists) to be addressed by the stakeholders of the tourism industry. Through collaboration and collective thinking, we all (including the author) expect tourism to be a solution capable of breaking the deadlock nation (part solution) throughout the history of an almost dogged by the twin towers issues, namely poverty and unemployment. Hopefully tourism also able to be a catalyst in accelerating the manifesto or the noble ideals of an independent Indonesia, progressive, just and prosperous (gemah ripah loh jinawi) in 2025.
