Abstract

Prior studies in sustainable tourism development have acknowledged gaps in our understanding of its various aspects—including environmental, social, and economic
impacts—and the strategies for its effective implementation and long-term sustainability, particularly concerning the practical, step-by-step execution. This research aims to explore how empowering the local community can enhance tourist attractions, create memorable experiences, and increase visitor satisfaction, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development of the tourism village. Six informants were chosen based on their knowledge of the practice of sustainable tourism in Wonokitri village. The researchers considered six informants to be sufficient because they represent the key stakeholders involved in sustainable tourism practices that focus on local empowerment in Wonokitri village. The data was manually analyzed using a six-step data analysis process. This study's findings underscore that, beyond economic advantages, the local community garners social benefits through cultural preservation and environmental conservation, aligning with the goals of sustainable development. The collaborative efforts involving the government, private sector, and the engaged local community at Edelweiss Park exemplify how
empowering the local community can foster tourism practices that yield comprehensive benefits for both the
environment and the socio-economic well-being of the community.
