Abstract

Promoting sustainable tourism development is a crucial strategy for fostering economic growth and environmental preservation within the context of Indonesia. Law has a pivotal role in regulating and shaping sustainable tourism development within the given context. This study aims to examine the impact of legislation on the advancement of sustainable tourism in Indonesia while also identifying the obstacles and prospects that emerge throughout its execution. The employed research methodology entails a descriptive-analytical framework that relies on secondary data sources, such as legal statutes, governmental rules, policies, and pertinent literature. The analysis examines normative juridical literature and reviews Indonesia’s relevant legal framework of sustainable tourism development. The research findings indicate that the legal framework exerts a substantial impact on the progress of sustainable tourism in Indonesia. The Tourism Act, the Environment Act, and other relevant rules now establish a crucial foundation for advancing sustainable tourism. In tourism, the legislation additionally offers safeguards for biodiversity, natural resources, cultural heritage, and the entitlements of indigenous groups. Nevertheless, this study highlights obstacles to implementing sustainable tourism legislation in Indonesia. The issues encompass a deficiency in legal knowledge and comprehension of sustainable tourism among those involved in the tourism industry, inadequate collaboration between relevant organizations, a disparity between economic and environmental concerns, and ineffective implementation of laws and regulations.
