Actualization of Community Based Tourism towards the Sustainable Development Goals in Indonesia

Indonesia, as an archipelagic country with beautiful natural scenery and ethnic and cultural diversity, has a heterogeneous society with its own local wisdom, giving Indonesia the potential to develop its tourism sector. Therefore, these two aspects, namely nature and culture, are Indonesia's potential to offer more attractive tourism packages because, in addition to natural scenery, it can also showcase cultural tourism attractions to tourists. Development through the tourism sector is carried out to support economic development and progress. Community-Based Tourism (CBT) is one approach in the process of developing the tourism sector by emphasizing community participation and empowerment. However, in practice, community-based tourism development does not always have a positive impact on local communities. On the other hand, community-based tourism is considered a concept or theory and can even be seen as something unrealistic. Limitations in natural resources, human resources, and local capital in villages are still obstacles in developing Community-Based Tourism. The purpose of this scientific study is to see how the implementation of Community-Based Tourism is related to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study uses qualitative methods and literature review. As a result of this research as a whole, Community-Based Tourism not only focuses on economic benefits but also on community participation, social sustainability, and the environment.
