Determination of research informants uses criteria that are relevant to the study to be discussed (purposive). The results of the research that has been carried out show that the use of resources in the aspect of community based tourism in the Wasur Tourism Area, Merauke Regency has not been utilized properly by the parties involved in tourism activities in the region. Regulations that specifically regulate tourism activities in the Merauke Regency area have not yet been issued to regulate all aspects related to tourism activities. Thus, tourism activities in locations with great potential such as the Wasur Tourism Area, Merauke Regency are not optimally and significantly exposed. The recommendations that can be given by researchers based on research results are that the Merauke Regency Government should start drafting regulations that can specifically regulate tourism activities in their area and invite local communities to participate in promoting tourism activities in the Wasur Tourism Area.
