Abstract

Tourism villages have become a viable concept for rural economic regeneration and sustainable development in many developing nations, such as Indonesia. Success in developing tourism villages depends significantly on the efficient cooperation among different stakeholders, which is frequently hindered by variables including power dynamics, institutional obstacles, and resource limitations. This study intends to investigate how collaborative governance may harness local potential for sustainable tourism village development, using the case of Karangreja Sub-District in Central Java Province, Indonesia. The study utilized a qualitative technique to gather data through interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation with local communities, government agencies, commercial sector, and civil society organizations. The results emphasize the significance of involving multiple stakeholders, providing education and raising awareness, and utilizing digital technologies to support the sustainable development of tourism villages. It also discusses the difficulties and advantages of collaborative governance in rural and developing areas. The study enhances understanding of collaborative governance in sustainable tourism development and provides recommendations for policy and practice, including empowering local communities, enhancing institutional capacity, and increasing digital inclusion. This research aims to offer valuable information and direction to stakeholders and policymakers involved in creating and overseeing sustainable tourism villages. These efforts can help in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals and enhancing the welfare of rural people.
