This research applies interpretivism as the research paradigm with a single case study qualitative research. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews. The researchers transcribed the interview results and a thematic analysis was conducted to find the emerging themes in the transcript verbatim.

Destination management consists of organization, strength mapping, strategy to improve tourism destination competitiveness, synergy, addressing the problems that can decrease competitiveness, and tourism management during crises.
