Abstract

Indonesia’s event industry is currently growing tremendously and has great potential to support the return of tourism activities in Indonesia, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. A wide variety of events are planned, such as exhibitions, conventions, incentive trips, concerts, cultural performances, and sporting events, which are in high demand by domestic and foreign tourists. While holding events can help boost tourism in Indonesia, holding events can have negative environmental impacts such as: Air pollution, waste problems, traffic congestion, energy wastage, etc. Awareness of the negative impacts of hosting events has encouraged various parties involved in hosting events to host more environmentally friendly events in order to preserve the environment. The objectives of this research are to identify the characteristics of green events, describe the implementation of green events in Indonesia, and explore the opinions of event management companies to determine the prospects of green events. The research is qualitative in nature and is based on various secondary data sources. A closed-ended questionnaire survey also helped to collect data from selected event management companies. Data was collected from eight major event management companies in Jakarta, Bali and Surabaya using a convenience sampling technique. The results of this study are intended to inform and insights into event management companies’ perceptions of green events and the adoption of green event trends at events. The analytical results of this study are expected to generate recommendations to develop a framework and guidelines for implementing green events that support sustainable ecosystems in Indonesia.
