Tourism, with its multiplier effect, is believed to be a savior for developing countries to better their economic
conditions. It is also central to the development of peripheral, remote and insular regions by facilitating
transitions from agriculture-based economies to service industries. Community participation approaches have
long been advocated as essential for sustainable tourism development. In Indonesia village based small and
medium enterprises in the tourism industry are on the rise with significant numbers of villages developing as
tourist destinations. The attractions of these destinations are their natural beauty, industrial products and
cultural values and artifacts. This development raises the question of government intervention in the planning
process of such village based, SMEs. This paper analyses village based tourism SMEs in the Bantul Regency,
Indonesia with special reference to the background of the SMEs development, its effect on the local
community, and the nature of the government’s role or intervention in the planning process. The data were
gathered through library research, government’s document investigations, observations, and several interviews
with stakeholders and entrepreneurs. It was found that the village-based tourism SMEs faced several
challenges including the lack of tourism industry knowledge and education, and the lack of capital and
promotional ideas to start their businesses. |
