Secondary data is obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The independent variables used are the number of tourist attractions, the number of domestic tourists, the number of foreign tourists, the number of restaurants, and the number of hotels and other accommodations. The dependent variable is the regional income of the tourism sector. The research method used is panel data regression with a fixed-effect model. The study results partially show that the variable number of tourist attractions and the number of hotels and other accommodations positively and significantly affect GRDP. The variable number of restaurants and the number of foreign tourists negatively and significantly affect GRDP. At the same time, domestic tourists have no significant effect on GRDP. Simultaneously, the variables of the number of tourist attractions, the number of domestic tourists, the number of foreign tourists, the number of restaurants, and the number of hotels and other accommodations affect the GRDP.
