Promoting Religious Tourism for the Chinese Community via Maritime Carriers: A Cross-Border Analysis of the Batam-Singapore Connection |Chapter 4| New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

 

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.

Transnational Concept in the Spatial Landscape; Port Cities Transnational Transportation Networks in Singapore and Batam | Chapter 5 | Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 3

 

Transnational orientation is extremely essential, particularly in how people perceive the transnational world and the social distance between countries and regions. The term "transnational" can also refer to social networks that exist between communities and countries. This research examines the connection of the two countries' relationship, which is constrained by sea crossings, to see if there is a transnational understanding between them. This study proposes to conduct a transnational inventory between the two countries of Indonesia and Singapore, namely between Singapore and Batam, using quantitative and qualitative approaches as a multidisciplinary study. Furthermore, the two countries with a transnational background share border closeness.
