Batam City, part of the Riau Islands Province, functions as
a vital link between Indonesia and Singapore. Its strategic position on the
border adjacent to one of the world’s major business hubs, Singapore,
underscores the importance of maritime transport in Indonesia’s maritime
economy. The substantial movement of people between Batam and Singapore
highlights their roles as popular tourist destinations. Residents of both
cities often consider these locations attractive for tourism. This research
particularly concentrates on religious tourism. The noticeable surge in
maritime travel is especially prominent during weekends and holiday seasons, as
many residents from both cities visit each other's areas, reflecting a high
level of social interaction and mobility. The study aims to explore maritime
activities and their societal implications through the lens of transnationalism
within the context of tourism, with a focus on religious tourism. In the era of
globalisation and the expanding network of social connections, maritime
transportation is crucial for facilitating transnational processes.
Consequently, maritime safety becomes essential, as it directly impacts efforts
toward sustainable development—especially in transportation activities that
promote tourism.
