Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM) activities play a crucial role in sharing information online, including the sustainability of a tourist destination, which is influenced by the ripple effect of tourists sharing their experiences on social media. This study aims to examine the influence of memorable tourism experiences, which include factors like hedonism, refreshment, novelty, and involvement, on tourists' e-WOM at Borobudur. Data was collected through questionnaires from Borobudur visitors, and multiple linear regression analysis was employed. Our findings indicate that knowledge, involvement, and novelty have positive impact on e-WOM, while hedonism has negative impact. Consequently, comprehensive and diverse management of tourism experiences is key to influencing tourists' intentions to contribute to e-WOM.

The well-known tourist destination in Indonesia is the Borobudur Temple, which is in the Central Java Province's Magelang Regency. In the Borobudur District, Wanurejo Village is a village with a good reputation for tourism attractions and foreign visitors. Tour activists must be able to employ a variety of English language skills, including reading, listening, speaking, and writing. This study compares and analyzes Wanurejo tourism village activists' levels of English literacy depending on several criteria, mainly age. To acquire data for this study, a questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. 87 advocates for the Wanurejo tourist resort made up the sample for this study. The study's findings revealed that the Wanurejo tourism village activists had a moderate level of English literacy, with a score of 64.44. The reading indication of English literacy scores the highest out of the four, while the writing indicator scores the lowest. According to the respondents' characteristics, younger tourism village activists are more literate than older ones. Additionally, according to recent studies, activists from tourism villages with high school degrees are more literate in English than those with only elementary or junior high school degrees. There was no discernible difference in terms of gender, income, or work experience.

The deadline of 2023 has almost passed for the obligation to conduct a spin-off for sharia business units in Indonesia to become a fully-fledged Islamic bank. However, a number of empirical findings highlight the urgency of evaluating this policy. Furthermore, many sharia business units are unable to meet the minimal standards. The paper aims to review prior studies on how spin-off decisions affect the financial performance of spin-off Islamic banks in Indonesia. Information was gathered from the Google Scholar and Mendeley databases using a literature review methodology. This study reveals that 18 publications have tracked 10 Islamic spin-off banks and 18 financial performance indicators. Following the spin-off, six Islamic banks, including BNI Syariah, BRI Syariah, BJB Syariah, Bank KB Bukopin Syariah, BTPN Syariah, Bank Aceh Syariah, BCA Syariah, Bank Syariah Mandiri, and Panin Dubai Syariah Bank, experienced an improvement in their financial performance. Assets, third party funds, financing, market share, CAR, NPF, ROA, z-score, and Maqasid Sharia Index were the main performance indicators that experienced a significant improvement after the spin-off.

This study examines the influence of oil prices, business size, and return on equity investment, market liquidity, systematic risk and portfolio investment on the Indonesian stock market. The main dependent variables of this stock market study are the four dimensions of stock market efficiency, stock market return, stock market valuation and stock market volatility. Data were gathered over the 2008-2016 period with annual observations for 30 firms currently listed in Indonesian financial markets. A two-fold regression analysis is applied. First, the impacts of explanatory variables on stock market indicators and oil prices is examined through a separate regression technique. Next, the lagged values of oil prices are added to the model to reflect their empirical influence on stock market measures. The study findings indicate that oil prices significantly affect all the performance indicators of the Indonesian stock market. Market liquidity also has a significant impact on the stock market. When the lagged predictors of stock market efficiency, stock market valuation, and stock market volatility were added, they were found to be significantly associated with the first lag of oil prices. These findings provide important justification of the literature on financial markets and their behavior when oil prices change. However, the study is limited with respect to other economic variables whose effects on the stock market is not observed. Future studies can address this constraint by taking the GDP, inflation, interest rates, and interaction of regional financial markets as core determinants of the local stock market in Indonesia.
