Background
One of the tourism education programs is the study tour which becomes the annual routine agenda of a number of educational institutions.The study tour program is designed to provide a learning experience for students, through visits to several places, including; historical sites, colleges, and cultural heritage.The visit aims to provide object recognition to learners and provide a direct description of historical events that occurred in the past.
The learning experience gained from study tours contributes to the success of learning in educational institutions.Classroom theory's learning provides a basic understanding of a science, while field study deepens the understanding of that science.Learning experience itself can be realized optimally through the involvement of teachers in educational institutions and educators as mentors for field study.The study tour program enables learners to be actively involved and interact with the wider community.The process is able to change the character of passive learners into the initiative, critical thinking and problem-solving.e-ISSN: 2407-392X.p-ISSN: 2541-0857 Vredeburg Fort Museum is a special history museum of national struggle located in Malioboro tourism area, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.The market segment at the Vredeburg Fort Museum is evenly distributed between men and women.Visitors are predominantly under 30 years old, ie high school and junior high school students from outside Yogyakarta and visit frequency 1 to 2 times (Field survey, 2016).
The number of tourists visiting Vredeburg Fort Museum from year to year has increased more than 20%.From 2012 to 2015 the number of tourists is 1,251,519 people, on average per year of 312,879 people.The highest number of tourists in June and December is 20 to 40 thousand people per month.The Graph of visitor numbers at Vredeburg Fort Museum can be seen in Figure 1.
Source: Vredeburg Fort Museum, 2016 Some tourists do not experience learning process in the study tour program but only have limited information.This problem occurs because of several factors, including; lack of teacher counseling and very limited visit times.The content of educational tourism has not been able to meet educational objectives and targets, as tour operators have not yet familiarized themselves with the educational curriculum, do not understand the needs of learners, and do not make additional preparations.The educational tourism market has a demand for long life learning that is professionally managed by involving pedagogical elements.Meanwhile, not many tourism providers are able to design educational attractions with the involvement of pedagogical elements and managed by competent human resources.In this case, the academics are required to work with stakeholders to design a study tour that is able to facilitate learners to gain knowledge (Prakapienė and Olberkytė, 2013).Vredeburg Fort Museum is one of the tourist destinations that offer educational tourism with cooperative concepts and able to realize the history learning experience for learners.
Nowadays, some museums experience a shift in attributes to increase the number of visitors.The shift is in the form of expanding the museum collection, which has the potential to change the function and role of the museum itself.From a manager's perspective, the museum not only functions as a tourist attraction but also as a source of historical information and media for cultural preservation (Bagus et al., 2015).

LITERATURE REVIEW
Educational tourism or edu-tourism is a travel program to a destination with the ultimate goal of gaining a learning experience that is directly related to the destination (Bodger, 1998).(Bodger, 1998) defines education tourism as a potential segment movement program to a particular location to acquire new knowledge related to their discipline.(William, 2010) states educational tourism is a tourism activity undertaken by people who travel through a journey for education and learning, either as a primary or secondary purpose.Hecht et al., (2007) convey education tourism is a special interest tourism, where the market segment has a desire to learn.For learners, education tourism is a means of understanding a tourism destination, whereas teachers define educational tourism as a means to transmit abstract knowledge and professionalism support facilities (Pitman, et al., 2010).Educational tourism enables e-ISSN: 2407-392X.p-ISSN: 2541-0857 learners to understand global interconnects, enhance their learning experience in the field, out of comfort zones, and learn about critical thinking of real life, and global implications.Educational tourism is an experiential learning method that enriches the educational process by engaging learners through contributions to local communities to obtain mutually beneficial results.Learners implement academic skills to solve problems in the field and connect learning objectives with the field needs.Educational tourism is organized and involves the pedagogic process through the tour, where the learning experience as a core component with a lifelong learning agenda (Pitman, Broomhall and Mcewan, 2010).The lifelong learning process through diverse forums became a means of personal and social development (Strain, 1998).Educational tourism has tremendous potential to offer meaningful and lifelong learning experiences for travelers and practitioners (Watson, 2003).Educational tourism is implemented through educational programs to change the knowledge, skills, and cognitive behavior of learners (Bhuiyan et al., 2010) and (Fidgeon, 2010) emphasize that educational tourism creates favorable conditions of learning for all ages.
Academics and tourism service providers understand the pedagogical function of educational tourism in different ways.Academics define learning components as non-recreational activities, formal and structured to gain knowledge.Meanwhile, tourism service providers understand it as a fun travel activity (Pitman, Broomhall and Mcewan, 2010).The success of the learning process in educational tourism is strongly influenced by the role of educators and tourism service providers.Educators conceptualize educational tourism in scientific qualifications with the primary goal of a learning experience for learners.Tourism providers enhance the learning experience by providing materials by educators (Pitman, Broomhall and Mcewan, 2010).Meanwhile, the website plays a role in assisting the management of educational tourism, as a provider of information.The website provides the information needed before, during and after the tour of educational tourism.Learners use the website to complete the data in the process of preparing the study tour report.
Tourists of educational tourism are those who travel far from the city or country of origin, and at least an overnight stay, whose education and learning are secondary objectives, but are considered an important way to pass the free time (Ritchie, 2003).Tourists take part in tour studies to improve or learn new skills.According to the (WTO, 2012), educational tourists are individuals or groups who travel to and live outside their environment for more than 24 hours, but no more than one year for study, business, recreation and other activities.Ritchie (2003) divides the educational tourism market segment into three groups, namely elderly, college students, and school students.Meanwhile, (Ankomah and Larson, 2000) divide the educational tourism market share based on the potential exchange of students, namely domestic, intra-regional, Europe, and North America.
The motivation for traveling is increasingly understood as a long-term psychological need and an individual life plan (Cohen, 1984).Towner (1996) suggests that education and learning tourism can take place both formally and informally depending on the individual's motivation and the type of experience requested.Today travel motivation is not only related to social and psychological needs but to the stage of one's life.The desire to travel and search for new knowledge and information continues to grow, so that exploration of the offer raises various types of educational tourism, including; journey to science (landscape, ornithology, ecology, and geology), cultural and heritage tours (archeology, ethnicity, patriotic military, religious cognitive and pilgrimage), study tour, sport tourism, and training program.
Characteristics of educational tourism as an innovative form of the educational institution should be based on goals, principles, and approaches of contemporary an education.Educational tourism interests are developed from childhood, through curriculum designs involving educational tourism (McGuire et al., 1987).Educational tourism programs are organized in a coordinated and structured manner by involving learners from childhood to create educational market segments and sustainable educational tourism.The educational tourism refers to a non-formal e-ISSN: 2407-392X.p-ISSN: 2541-0857 education by performing a fun method of tourism learning activities.Such method of the learning process can be more quickly understood and remembered by the students (Wijayanti et al., 2018).
Educational tourism uses the concept of cooperative learning that is reciprocal for the lives of learners and the community.Cooperative education is a partnership between learners, educational institutions, and tourism service providers.Cooperative education becomes a bridge between educational institutions and industry, allowing learners to get practical training.According to (Ritchie, 2003) various stakeholders work together to meet the demand of tourists in the form of attractions and events that offer learning experiences, through resource specialists who are responsible for delivering learning components, and affinity travel planners from organizations that help plan and develop learning programs.
Significantly, the learning experience in educational tourism is able to go beyond actual tourist experience, ie interest in a particular topic and includes organized learning elements (Kalinowski and Weiler, 1992).Conservation programs as one of the tourism education programs can be used as an effective means to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes by realizing a broad-based experience (Hiromi, 2009) (Ankomah and Larson, 2000).
The learning process in education tourism consists of three forms, namely; deliberate learning, experiential learning, and structured learning (Ankomah and Larson, 2000).According to (Ritchie, 2003) educational tourism has two forms, namely learning and traveling.The learning, representing dedicated tourists by taking part in the education and training process.While the traveling, representing tourists who are interested in interpretive programs.Ritchie et al., (2008) distinguishes two major groups of educational tourism.The first group is a visit directly related to the education process, general subjects and a particular curriculum capable of extending formal education.The second group, the educational journey that performs the educational function but is not related to a particular subject and arranged in the non-formal education process.
Educational tourism illustrates the activity on the journey across international borders to acquire intellectual services, in search of new experiences and cultures (Abubakar et al., 2014).It encourages local governments to market educational institutions for intellectual development by attracting foreign students to travel and experience a new culture.
In addition, countries offering educational tourism are becoming very rich and competitive in the tourism sector (Rico & Loredana, 2009).
The management of educational tourism requires competent personnel, including; knowledge, skills, abilities, and communication techniques (Procter, 2012;Wong & Wong, 2009).e-ISSN: 2407-392X.p-ISSN: 2541-0857 Educational tourism is developed based on fundamental educational principles so that it becomes a very effective teaching technology (Zholobova, 2006;Belyaeva, 2007;Bhuiyana et al., 2010).Educational tourism organizes tourism as an educational activity to achieve its goals and meet the targets set by the curriculum.It focuses on the formation and development of individual qualities expressed as general and special professional competencies (Chen & Naquin, 2008;Hoffmann, 1999;McLegan, 1997).William (2010) presents a pedagogical and didactic basis for the development of the concept of educational tourism lies in the pedagogy sectoral (tourism), because its functional represent the educational process carried out outside the educational institutions.
The elements to be considered when designing a study tour, namely the student base, including physiological, psychophysical, emotional, social expression, the need for change, self-actualization needs, intellectual development, exploration and development of creative potential (Abubakar et al., 2014).The implementation of educational tourism involves several elements, namely; the team of planners, development of educational materials, exhibitions and visiting activities, local community involvement, tour operators, media, curriculum, teachers, and local and international organizations (Bhuiyan et al., 2010).Implementation of educational tourism requires adaptation to the socio-cultural, environmental, and economic structures of the local community, as it is a process of increasing socio-economic capital, and empowering the community itself (Pitman, Broomhall and Mcewan, 2010).
