Abstract
Pondok's potential as a tourist product is promising for numerous reasons, including its primary reference point, religious teaching, and serene atmosphere. However, an investigation into the motives behind the establishment of Pondokstay is rarely discussed. There is no agreed definition of Pondokstay, but it could be described as a tourist program held at the Pondok, just like Temple Stay in South Korea, which offers cultural programs at the Buddhist temples. This study aims to explore the reasons behind their decision to establish, and it utilizes semi-structured interviews with five participants. Three criteria are set: the length of establishment, the number of students, and the number of teachers. The responses are recorded, transcribed, manually grouped, and themed, and the process requires close attention because it is a crosslinguistic study. Four establishment motives are promoting the district, boosting local commerce, encouraging sustainable trips, and increasing the institution's socioeconomic benefits. Variables from three types of tourism—spiritual tourism, educational tourism, and Islamic tourism—are used to describe Pondokstay. By contributing insights into the establishment motives of Pondokstay, this study not only enriches scholarly understanding but also holds implications for tourism development, destination management, and religious tourism promotion.
