Abstract

Bali is a tourist island with a lengthy history in the tourism industry. Bali’s tourist boom, which has been ongoing since the early 1900s, has enticed capitalists to invest in the island’s tourism sector. The increasing rise of the tourist sector raises concerns about the tourism sector’s contribution to local communities in Bali, given that the center of international tourism is now sustainable tourism that focuses on economic, social, and environmental elements. This study focuses on the economic component of tourism, specifically how it impacts the welfare of local populations and the rise in Bali’s human development index. Based on this, this study intends to assess the contribution of the tourist industry and investment in job opportunities human development indices by focusing on the Sarbagita Region (Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, Tabanan). Secondary data was employed in this study, which was evaluated using structural equation modeling (SEM). The analytical results demonstrate that the tourist sector’s contribution has a direct impact on the Human Development Index but also has a major impact through job possibilities. Direct investment, on the other hand, has a little influence on the Human Development Index but has a big impact on job prospects. This indicates that job opportunities are a full-mediating variable since they can accelerate the impact of the tourist and investment sectors on the Human Development Index.
