Abstract

Tourism is one of the sectors encouraged by the Indonesian government to increase economic growth. one of the efforts made is to establish Labuan Bajo as a national tourism strategic area. This study aims to explain the dynamics of access contested by some actors in tourism governance in Labuan Bajo. A qualitative approach was employed in this study. Data were gathered through interviews, focus group discussion, and document analysis. The results of this study indicate that tourism access is dominated by actors who have the power of capital and they control access to economic circles of the tourism management. On the other hand, societies are unable to involve as the main economic actors around the tourism governance. © 2020 Editura Universitatii din Oradea. All rights reserved.
