The research method used is a type of normative legal research. The results of the study indicate (1) The existence of customary law communities in the management of ecotourism areas based on local wisdom is recognized by their participation in controlling and accessing ecotourism management, especially in the territorial area (wewidangan) of traditional villages, the community has the right to: Manage ecotourism areas within their customary law areas- Practicing knowledge, technology and local wisdom in managing ecotourism- and (2) The dynamics of the legal protection of indigenous and tribal peoples in the management of ecotourism based on local wisdom in the province of Bali have not been bridged by the substance of the regulation which explicitly regulates the rights and obligations of customary villages in ecotourism management in the territorial area (wewidangan) of the local traditional village. The effect is that sociological injustice is felt by the traditional village. Profit sharing that is not proportional requires a triple helix mutual synergy and legal drafters to re-evaluate ecotourism area management policies with the consideration that traditional villages have the right as well as the obligation to empower ecotourism potential in Bali Province.
