Digital platform as tourism innovation for conservation of art and culture and to increase the society's appreciation of Banyuwangi tourism in pandemic era

Abstract

The decline in the number of tourist visits to the Banyuwangi area in the era of the pandemic which has lasted more than a year has greatly affected the sustainability of the tourism sector in Banyuwangi. There needs to be an effort from the local government and the artist community as well as tourism industry players to survive and even look for new opportunities in promoting Banyuwangi tourism to the public, both nationally and internationally. The development of a digital platform for tourism promotion and information is one of the tourism innovations that can be developed in the pandemic era and after the pandemic ends and can conserve art and culture also maintain the sustainability of regional tourism.
