Abstract

Sustainable tourism has grown significantly and has emerged as a new trend in the tourism industry. According to many literatures, the concept of sustainable tourism necessitates the participation of various stakeholders, particularly the community. According to data, Tegal Regency has a relatively high level of tourist quality and absorption when compared to other regencies/cities in Central Java Province. The purpose of this study is to examine the process of stakeholder engagement in the development of sustainable tourism in Tegal Regency via the lens of sustainable tourism and the public participation spectrum. This study is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through interviews and literature reviews. Qualitative data analysis methodologies began with data sorting, reduction, and formulating research-relevant findings. The findings revealed that there were regulations in Tegal Regency that fostered the involvement of diverse stakeholders in tourism development. As a facilitator and driver of tourism development, the private sector played a significant role in job creation. However, because the regulation does not explain in depth the operational involvement of stakeholders, it cannot stimulate the participation of other stakeholders. In addition, there are many barriers to tourism growth in Tegal Regency, such as the lack of high-quality human resources, limited government budget, and lack of connectivity among tourism actors. Therefore, this study suggests that the Tegal Regency Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office should conduct community-based strategies, stakeholder mapping and collaboration in the development of tourism in Tegal Regency.
