The Role of Governance, Social Welfare, and Community Participation on Sustainable Tourism Village: A Case Study in Pioneering Tourism Village, Bogor Regency, Indonesia

Abstract

The maximum potential of sustainable tourism development is significantly impeded by the 53 pilot tourism villages in Bogor Regency. In order to address the low percentage of tourist villages that are still pioneering, it is imperative to prioritize the enhancement of local communities' awareness and understanding of tourism. It is anticipated that the establishment of community-based tourism villages will bolster the local economy, enhance community welfare, and promote local wisdom as a critical component of sustainable tourism initiatives. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of governance, social welfare, and local community involvement on sustainable tourism villages. Quantitative research techniques are employed to provide more thorough, valid, trustworthy, and objective data. The samples were collected from 259 village communities in six experimental pioneering tourism villages in Bogor Regency. Factor and regression analyses were used for the data analysis. The study's findings indicated that the sustainable tourism village is positively correlated with governance, social welfare, and local community involvement. The strong relationship between these factors underscores their importance in promoting the success and desirability of tourist villages.
