Abstract

Penawar Rindu Island, nestled within Indonesia's Riau Islands province, presents a captivating and lesser-known allure to tourists seeking an escape to nature's tranquility. The Island's pristine beauty and rich cultural heritage have attracted local and regional visitors, making sustainable tourism a priority for preserving its authenticity and environmental integrity. However, the rise in tourism has also brought about solid waste management challenges, leading to concerns over environmental degradation and marine debris. To address this issue, a revitalization program was initiated for the Waste Processing Site (TPS) in 2021. Nevertheless, the absence of auxiliary facilities, such as garbage collection boats, and limited waste handling capacity pose unique challenges for an island location. To ensure a sustainable and healthy environment, a comprehensive waste management study is essential, considering waste generation patterns and waste treatment needs. By implementing responsible waste management practices and embracing sustainable tourism principles, Penawar Rindu Island can balance tourism development and environmental preservation, securing its allure as a sought-after destination within Indonesia and beyond while contributing to Indonesia's commitment to environmental conservation and reducing marine debris.
