Abstract

The development of sustainable tourism in Indonesia has encouraged the formation of tourist villages that take advantage of the potential of the village as well as its characteristics, for example in the fields of culture, tradition, natural beauty, and other uniqueness as a tourist attraction. The term tourism village appears along with the history of tourism development in Bali and can also be said to be the pioneer of current tourism, namely a traditional village-based tourism village within the scope of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, covering its natural beauty (palemahan), the friendliness of the people (pawongan), and religious activities (parahyangan). Its existence in traditional villages is arranged, managed, and preserved by
customary law so that tourism villages can be sustainable until now. The development of tourist villages by the government in its implementation and regulation uses laws and regulations made by the government whose implementation reaches the lowest level, namely the village government or official village. At the village government level, efforts to provide support for
the development and promotion of tourist villages have not been maximized because there are several obstacles, such as lack of budget, road infrastructure, public facilities, and so on. The village government cannot stand alone and must coordinate with the city district government.
On the other hand, traditional villages partially feel burdened with the responsibility of preserving customs and culture. For this reason, it is necessary to have good cooperation and synergy between the village government and traditional villages through harmonization and
complementary of positive legal rule and local customary village law products. So that the village government and traditional villages can legally and formally contribute to the development of tourist villages, for example, through budget allocations, collaboration with various parties, sustainable promotion, and so on. Finally, it realizes the goal of the preservation of nature, customs, culture, and the welfare of the local community.
