Cultural Change Shapes the Sustainable Development of Religious Ecotourism Villages in Bali, Indonesia
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Intro is well-framed, but I think the authors might benefit from less is more. Clearly outline the purpose of the study and argue what is the key contribution that this study will make.
Think you mean theory of planned behavior
Check style guide regarding the use of initials for in-text references
Check use of references at end of sentences (put in one set of closed brackets with ; separating different references.
Literature review reads very descriptive, look to challenge ideas so that you align this section with gaps and your contribution
Hypothesis section is clear and well-justified
Methods section, tell us more about your sample and how you identified this sample, is this sample representative
Results are clear and make sense
The discussion only speaks to the hypotheses, build more on the implications of the findings and the contributions, why are these important from both practical and theoretical standpoints
In the conclusion, split this into two paragraphs, recommendations (which can align with what you have) and future research directions or how you plan to build on this study, what are the most important take-away implications from this study

Reviewer 2 Report
The article suggests a current and attractive topic for the academy. The effort made is evident, but it requires profound adjustments, I hope you find the following observations helpful:
Manuscript:
In your last sentence of Abstract, I don’t see the correlation and the order with the whole of the Abstract.
You should use the keywords effectively by not using the same word (s) with the tittle so your manuscript will be more discoverable.
You should carefully choose your reference and better not using massive sources, 75-80 references are more than enough instead 107.
I also didn’t see the correlation of the word “Religious” you have used in your title with the whole content of the manuscript. You should build better justification for your “religious” word otherwise it will be looked constrained.
Introduction:
In general terms, the authors should review the introduction; the exposed literature of ecotourism combined with religious aspect is too scant. We didn’t see strong correlation because ecotourism should be connected with religious (Islam and Tri Hita Karana belief), you should rebuild your flow of the idea.
We also didn’t see what the importance issue for the research is since it doesn’t clearly state in the last paragraph of the introduction.
It may be helpful if you clearly stated what is the importance issue for your research in the last paragraph of the introduction. So, the reader will see your research importance.
Methodology
a) It will be better if you didn’t put Literature Review under Materials and Methods. Furthermore, you should show what are the research gap that you want to fill in from the literature review. We didn’t see it yet.
b) Since you didn’t enough to show what are the research gap from your literature review, the next effect is you couldn’t build strong justification for the hypotheses. Re-build your literature review along with hypotheses development so you can show how you created your hypotheses properly.
c) Before you write every data and number you have got, you have to write in order about the steps of your method so it can be replicated by another researcher in another time and another location. Using diagram will be very helpful. After it stated clearly, you may start to write about the data you have got.
d) How and why you got the 155 population? What is your justification by using 155 number of populations? You didn’t explain it before, so it became a flaw.
Results
a) Table 3 presents confusing data. The table contain “Indicator”. What are the indicators (X 1.1 to Y.4) of every variable? You should make it clear every indicator in Method section. Remember: your method should be understandable by another researcher.
Conclusions
How did the Tri Hita Kirana suddenly appear in the conclusion? I don’t understand since you never discussed deeply in every section of your manuscript.
