INTRODUCTION
The tourism sector has an
important role in economic development by utilizing its potential and
developing new tourism. Tourism can increase
foreign exchange earnings, create jobs, stimulate the growth of the tourism
industry, therefore it can trigger economic growth, moreover it can encourage
various countries to develop the tourism sector. Tourism contributes to
economic growth through various channels including foreign currency earnings,
attracting international investment (Yakup, 2019). One of the
most significant industries in the world economy, tourism generated 10.4% of
the global gross domestic product (GDP), or 319 GDP and 319 million jobs, or
about 10% of all employment in 2018 (Herrero et al., 2022).
The tourism industry has become one of the largest economic
sectors in the world and is a major contributor to local and national income.
The tourism sector accounts for 10.4% of the total world GDP (WTTC,
2018). Indonesia's tourism sector contributed Rp787.1 billion or
5.8% of GDP in 2017. One of the drivers of the economy in Indonesia is the
tourism sector. The leading sector of tourism will have an impact on the
social, cultural and environmental fields (Baruna et al., 2018). Through a
variety of channels, international tourism is known to positively influence
long-term economic growth. First, the tourism industry contributes
significantly to foreign exchange earnings, enabling the purchase of imported
capital goods and other essential inputs for production. Second, tourism is a
major driver of investments in new infrastructure and competition between local
businesses and businesses in other tourist-friendly nations (Habibi et al., 2018).
There is a need for tourism
development by the government, tourism development is a process of change to create
added value in all aspects of the tourism sector, starting from infrastructure,
Tourist Attractions (ODTW), and other aspects. The objectives of national
tourism development are: 1) Improving the quality and quantity of Tourism
Destinations; 2) Communicating Indonesian Tourism Destinations by using
marketing media effectively, efficiently and responsibly; 3) Realizing the
Tourism Industry that is able to drive the national economy; and 4) Developing
Tourism Institutions and tourism governance that are able to synergize the
Development of Tourism Destinations, Tourism Marketing, and the Tourism
Industry in a professional, effective and efficient manner (Kurniawati, n.d.).
This tourism development
effort is implemented by the government in collaboration with the public in
deciding the policies to be implemented or can be called collaborative
governance. Collaborative governance is a set of arrangements in which one or
more public institutions directly involve non-state stakeholders in a formal,
consensus-oriented and deliberative policy-making process that aims to make or
implement public policies or manage programs or assets (Ansell & Gash, 2007). Collaboration in governance is something that
is needed in today's government practice. Collaboration is enforced because of
the complexity of the interdependence of each institution. Collaboration is
also considered to arise due to the diversity of interests between each group,
giving rise to a collaboration. So that the collaboration can mobilize interest
groups. Collaboration is considered to be a solution for the poor
implementation of a program or activity carried out by only one institution,
due to the limitations of that institution. Apart from this, collaboration is also
considered as a solution to overcome the high cost of a program or activity (Cahya, 2020).
Based on the background of
these problems, researchers are interested in knowing the implementation of
collaborative governance in tourism development policies. Therefore, the
researcher made a research entitled "Collaborative Governance in Tourism
Development Policy". Then, the discussion in this article is related to
collaborative governance theories to answer relevant problems and have their
validity tested.
METHOD
This study
used qualitative research methods. Qualitative research method is a research
method based on the philosophy of postpositivism,
used to examine the condition of natural objects, (as opposed to experiments)
where the researcher is the key instrument, data collection techniques are
carried out by triangulation (combined), data analysis is
inductive/qualitative, and the results of qualitative research emphasize the
meaning of generalization (Sugiyono, 2011). While the data collection is done by exploring journals,
books and other information relevant to the study. The data sources used are
the results of research data and books, journals, articles, and similar things
obtained through Google Scholar. Activities in qualitative data analysis in
this study were carried out by relying on an interactive model (Miles, 1984) which was carried out through data reduction, data
display, and conclusion drawing/ verification.
RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION
Tourism development policy is
a public policy in the tourism sector. Indonesia's tourism development policies
develop in line with its political developments. Two laws on tourism, namely
Law 9/1990 and Law 10/2009 are products of Indonesia's tourism development
policies. Both resulted in different political conditions (Syahbudi, 2021). The existence of these two tourism laws shows that there has been
a change in tourism development policies in Indonesia. The aim of Indonesia's
tourism development policy is to realize the national goals of the Indonesian
nation through tourism development. The national goals of the Indonesian people
are stated and implied in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution (Nugraha
et al., 2020).
Based on the Law of the
Republic of Indonesia No. 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism, it has been stated in
article 10 (ten) that the Government and Regional Governments encourage
domestic investment and foreign investment in the tourism sector to support
tourism. Furthermore, in article 11 (eleven) it is stated that the Government
and institutions related to tourism carry out research and tourism development
to support tourism development. Furthermore, in the Presidential Instruction of
the Republic of Indonesia No. 9 of 1969 concerning Guidelines for the Guidance
of National Tourism Development is stated in Article 8 (eight) related to the
role of the private sector. The scope of the role of the private sector is
aimed at the businesses and activities of companies in the tourism sector, such
as transportation, accommodation, entertainment and service businesses to tourists.
From the several laws and regulations above, it can be seen that the role of
stakeholders outside the government, such as the private sector and also the
public, is needed in supporting tourism which is a potential factor in economic
development efforts (Aeni
& Astuti, 2019).
The amendment must not
deviate from the 1945 Constitution, because according to Law 12/2011 concerning
the Establishment of Legislations, the 1945 Constitution is the basic law in
Indonesian legislation. In addition to the legal aspect, the deviation should not
also occur in the aspect of the goal, because basically a policy is made to
achieve a goal. That goal is the will of the people which will be realized by
the government through the policies it makes (Cochran, C.E., 2012).
Tourism planning is a multi-sectoral and multi-aspected
and multi-regional plan, so collaborative planning is needed as a process
towards integrated planning both hierarchically (Province, Regency, City) and
sector (various institutions/ministries). Collaborative planning as a process
towards integrated planning both hierarchically (province, district, city) and
sector (various institutions/ministries). In order for collaborative planning
to be realized, what must be considered are: (a) All parties involved are
willing to open up, so that "trust" or mutual trust arises between
the various parties who will collaborate. All parties must be open, honest,
respectful and respectful of each other, so that there is no conflict. (b) The
approach must be cooperative or synergized, it does not mean that there is no
competition, there may be competition but it must be maintained as an effort to
drive the achievement of common goals. (c) Each party positions itself as equal
or there is equality so there is no high or low, but differ in roles, for
example: government as mediator, facilitator and legislator. While the private
sector as practitioners and investors (Persada,
2017).
The government in collaboration with the community has issued a
number of tour packages to support the development of tourism activities
themselves. These activities include promotions, tourist destinations, main and
supporting facilities, tourism products and human resources. Thanks to the
collaboration between the government and the community, currently there are
various tourist objects that have been known to foreign countries and tourism
objects that are in the promotion process which of course have their respective
potentials and attractions (Sabatina,
2018).
Collaboration in governance has the implication that all parties
involved or involved have the same responsibility for the decisions taken, therefore
collaboration requires that the parties involved must sit at the same table and
have the same power in making decisions. Collaboration in governance involves
the involvement of many parties, many interests are required for that certain
prerequisites are needed so that this mechanism can be implemented. The success
of implementing collaborative governance is largely determined by: first:
strong leadership, which has the ability to control and regulate these complex
activities. Second, a mediator is needed who acts neutrally/impartially/does
not represent certain interests so that the mechanism runs in a balanced manner
according to their respective roles and responsibilities. Third, in general,
collaboration will be successful when the bureaucracy is placed as the manager
of the collaboration concept because government organizations have much greater
authority than other organizations. Fourth, negotiation becomes an important
stage in the collaboration process because of an imbalance of power or resources.
Fifth, decision making is based on agreement and mutual respect � not born on
an authoritarian basis (Aeni
& Astuti, 2019).
CONCLUSION
Tourism can increase foreign exchange earnings, create jobs, stimulate the growth of the tourism industry, therefore it can trigger economic growth, moreover it can encourage various countries to develop the tourism sector. So that there is a need for tourism development by the government, this tourism development effort is implemented by the government in collaboration with the public in deciding policies to be implemented or can be called collaborative governance. Two laws on tourism, namely Law 9/1990 and Law 10/2009 are products of Indonesia's tourism development policies. Both resulted in different political conditions. The existence of these two tourism laws shows that there has been a change in tourism development policies in Indonesia. The government in collaboration with the community has issued a number of tour packages to support the development of tourism activities themselves. These activities include promotions, tourist destinations, main and supporting facilities, tourism products and human resources. Thanks to the collaboration between the government and the community, now there are various tourist objects that have been known to foreign countries and tourism objects that are in the promotion process which of course have their respective potentials and attractions.
