The tourism sector is one of the strategic sectors that is increasing regional original revenue (PAD). In this study, the tourism objects that will be studied are the city of Malang and the city of Surabaya, two of the areas with tourism potential and high selling value.

The results of this study show that after calculations on each parameter, the Human Tourism Indicator (HTI) of Malang City has a higher competitiveness value than the City of Surabaya. Then, the city of Surabaya's higher competitiveness was also found in the Infrastructure Development Indicator (IDI), Price Competitiveness Indicator (PCI), and Openness Indicator (OI).
