Abstract

Sustainable tourism is one that fully considers current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts and meets the needs of visitors, industry, the environment, and local communities. Sustainable tourism is part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Indonesia has adopted the SDGs. These SDGs and the sustainable tourism criteria set by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) are then translated into a sustainable tourism development program in Indonesia called Sustainable Tourism for Development (STDev). STDev has been stipulated in the Minister of Tourism Regulation (Permenpar) No. 14 of 2016 concerning Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism Destinations. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has recognized these programs and criteria as amended by Permenparekraf 9/2021.1. Permenpar 9/2021 discusses sustainable destination management, abbreviated as 3P + 1M, namely people, planet, prosperity, added with management. As for the research method used to answer problems regarding government compliance in implementing regulations, research will be carried out using socio-legal methods which elaborate legal phenomena with applicable laws. Thus, it can be seen that Permenpar 9/2021 has provided guidelines in an effort to realize sustainable tourist destinations through criteria and indicators that are easy for local governments to realize.
