Introduction
The Post-COVID-19 Tourism Trends in Indonesia shows interest in traveling back to enjoying nature.Tourists have the motivation to travel that accommodates the issue of improving the quality of a healthy life to achieve a balance of body, mind and spirit [1].Not only in Indonesia, the global tourism landscape has undergone significant transformations.The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has particularly reshaped travel preferences, with a noticeable shift towards nature-based tourism.This shift is not merely a fleeting trend but a reflection of a deeper societal change.As the world grappled with the pandemic, there was a renewed emphasis on health, well-being, and the importance of reconnecting with nature [2].Indonesia, with its rich biodiversity and vast natural landscapes, has emerged as a focal point for this new wave of tourism.Tourists are increasingly seeking destinations that not only offer scenic beauty but also promote holistic well-being.This encompasses physical health, mental tranquility, and spiritual balance [3].One of the natural tourist destinations in Mojokerto Regency, East Java is Padusan Village.Padusan village is a village that is geographically located at the foot of Mount Welirang and directly adjacent to the forest [4].Padusan village which has tourism potential such as hot springs, forest and waterfall tours, camping grounds, and rafting.Padusan Village offers a unique blend of adventure, wellness, and eco-tourism.These forms of tourism not only provide recreational opportunities but also play a pivotal role in fostering pro-environmental behaviors among tourists [5].The Mojokerto Regency is an integral component of the central corridor development zone, with a focus on cultural heritage and nature tourism, as stipulated in the East Java Provincial Regulation No. 5 of 2012 [6].Significantly, Padusan Village in the Pacet Subdistrict houses some of the Mojokerto Regency's premier natural tourist destinations.The promotion of natural tourism in this locale is in harmony with the Mojokerto Regency Spatial Plan for the years 2012-2032, which earmarks the Pacet Subdistrict as a designated Nature Tourism Area [7].At present, Padusan Village is home to eight primary tourist attractions.These include the Coban Canggu Waterfall, hot spring baths, strawberry picking agro-tourism, Grenjengan Waterfall, Padusan Wana Wisata Pacet -KBM Ecotourism by Perhutani, Taman Pelangi, Watu Dakon Tourism, and the Jacuzzi Hot Spring Pool [8].The administration of these varied attractions in Padusan Village is diverse, with some under government supervision, others managed by private sectors, and the rest governed by community collectives.
As the global tourism industry seeks sustainable recovery pathways post-pandemic, understanding and promoting pro-environmental tourism becomes imperative.Such tourism not only ensures the long-term viability of destinations but also contributes to broader environmental conservation efforts [9].There is a growing positive acknowledgment of the benefits of outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism.Visiting natural environments and spending time outdoors is widely recognized as essential for enhancing human health and well-being, strengthening social bonds, connecting individuals with nature and cultural heritage, generating revenue for conservation efforts, contributing to local economies, fostering local or traditional identities, and cultivating conservation awareness [10][11][12].The benefits identified from outdoor recreation and nature-based tourism highlight the nature-based contributions to individual experiences, community resilience, and societal sustainability [13].There is also increasing evidence that this form of travel to nature has a positive effect on reflection, personal meaning, and the outcomes of pro-environmental behavior [14].
Adventure, wellness, and eco-tourism represent distinct yet interconnected facets of the tourism industry, each offering unique experiences and benefits to travelers.Adventure tourism is characterized by activities that involve physical exertion, interaction with nature, and cultural immersion.It often takes place in remote or challenging environments, offering travelers an opportunity to step out of their comfort zones and engage in activities that test their physical and mental limits.Such experiences not only provide thrill and excitement but also foster personal growth, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for nature [15].Wellness tourism, on the other hand, focuses on health and well-being.It encompasses a range of activities and experiences designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit.From spa treatments and meditation retreats to holistic therapies and nutritional programs, wellness tourism offers travelers a chance to disconnect from the stresses of daily life and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.A holistic perspective on wellness tourism emphasizes the integration of various components, including hot springs, spas, enogastronomy, sports, nature, culture, and spirituality, to create comprehensive wellness-driven value propositions for tourists [16].Eco-tourism is centered on responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people.It emphasizes sustainability, education, and the preservation of natural and cultural heritage.Eco-tourism initiatives often involve local communities, ensuring that they benefit economically while also promoting conservation efforts.Such tourism practices not only provide travelers with authentic experiences but also play a crucial role in protecting biodiversity and promoting sustainable development [17].The convergence of these tourism facets reflects a growing trend among travelers seeking meaningful, transformative, and sustainable experiences.As the tourism industry evolves, understanding the dynamics of adventure, wellness, and eco-tourism becomes imperative for destinations and service providers aiming to cater to the diverse needs and aspirations of modern travelers.
In the contemporary era, the significance of nature-based tourism and outdoor recreation cannot be understated.As urbanization continues to expand and technology becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, there is a palpable yearning among individuals to reconnect with nature.This reconnection is not merely for leisure but has profound implications for human health, well-being, and societal sustainability.According to Xu, Huang, & Whitmarsh [2], nature-based tourism activities, such as those offered in destinations like Padusan Village, play a pivotal role in fostering pro-environmental behaviors among tourists.Moreover, Loureiro, Guerreiro, & Han [3] emphasize that such tourism not only ensures the long-term viability of destinations but also contributes to broader environmental conservation efforts.Given these considerations, understanding the dynamics of nature-based tourism becomes imperative, especially in regions rich in biodiversity and cultural heritage.This research, therefore, seeks to fill a critical gap in the literature by focusing on the unique blend of adventure, wellness, and eco-tourism offerings in Padusan Village, Mojokerto, East Java.The importance of this study lies in its potential to provide insights into how such destinations can be developed and managed sustainably while ensuring positive outcomes for visitors, local communities, and the environment.With this backdrop, the study aims to: 1) Identify types of adventure, wellness, and eco-tourism in Padusan village, and 2) Identify tourism activities that can inspire pro-environmental behavior throughout the tourism industry.

Methods
The qualitative research paradigm is a powerful tool that offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to understanding intricate phenomena.By focusing on the lived experiences, perceptions, and behaviors of individuals, qualitative research delves deep into the nuances and intricacies of human experiences, providing rich and detailed insights that are often missed in quantitative approaches.This methodological approach is particularly valuable when exploring complex social and cultural phenomena where individual experiences and interpretations play a crucial role.In the context of our research, we employed a case study approach, gathering data from interviews with individuals who were willing to share feedback about their recent experiences with Padusan tourism.Our informants comprised villa/homestay owners, visitors, tourism site managers, and members of local community organizations.This diverse group of participants provided a wide range of perspectives, enriching our understanding of the tourism dynamics in Padusan.
The selection of villa/homestay owners, visitors, tourism site managers, and members of local community organizations as research informants was intentional and strategic.Villa/homestay owners offer insights into the accommodation aspect of tourism, understanding the needs and preferences of tourists.Visitors, being the primary consumers of tourism services, provide firsthand experiences and feedback on the tourism offerings.Tourism site managers have a comprehensive view of the operational challenges and opportunities in the area, while members of local community organizations bring a community-centric perspective, highlighting the socio-economic impacts of tourism on the local population.By encompassing these diverse stakeholders, the research aimed to capture a holistic view of the tourism dynamics in Padusan, ensuring that all relevant aspects were considered and analyzed.

Data Analysis
The process of data analysis in this study was meticulous and systematic.The raw data gathered from interviews, observations, and document analysis underwent transcription, converting spoken words and observed actions into written form.Once transcribed, the data was subjected to coding, a process of categorizing and labeling data to identify patterns and themes.The chosen method for this was thematic analysis, a qualitative analytic method that seeks to identify, analyze, and report patterns or themes within the data.This method, as described by Braun and Clarke [22], is particularly useful in providing a rich and detailed, yet complex account of data.Through thematic analysis, the study was able to delve deeper into the intricacies of pro-environmental tourism in Padusan Village, uncovering the underlying factors that influence its dynamics.Ensuring the trustworthiness and validity of the research findings is paramount in qualitative research.To achieve this, the study employed several strategies; Triangulation: This strategy involves using multiple methods or data sources in research to develop a comprehensive understanding of phenomena.In this study, triangulation was achieved by corroborating findings from different data sources, namely interviews, observations, and document analysis, ensuring a more holistic and validated understanding of the research topic [23].Member Checking: This is a technique where the preliminary findings of the research are presented back to the participants.By doing so, the study ensured that the interpretations made by the researchers resonated with the experiences and perspectives of the participants, thereby enhancing the accuracy and authenticity of the findings [24].Reflexivity: Recognizing the potential influence of researchers' biases and assumptions on the research process and outcomes, a reflective journal was maintained throughout the study.This practice of reflexivity allowed the researchers to continuously introspect, acknowledge, and address any biases, ensuring the research remained objective and credible [25].
