<![CDATA[This scientific paper aims to discuss the legal construction and its implementation in protecting local Balinese tourism workers. Research data were collected through document studies, observations, and in-depth interviews with 8 selected informants, from tourism worker representatives, Balinese tourism business managers in Denpasar City. The collected data were analyzed descriptively by applying normative, empirical, and economic approaches. The results of the study indicate that the protection of local tourism workers is based on: Law No. 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism, (2) Law No. 21 of 2000 concerning Trade Unions, (3) Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower, (4) Bali Provincial Regulation No. 1 of 2016 concerning the Provision of Incentives and/or Facilities to the Community and/or Investors, and (5) Bali Provincial Regulation No. 5 of 2000 concerning Standards for the Implementation of Balinese Cultural Tourism. Local Balinese tourism workers have not yet fully received adequate legal protection. Although they are prioritized for recruitment as tourism workers in their local areas, some of them are outsourced workers and have not yet been made permanent staff/employees. Some of them also do not receive BBJS/Jamsostek insurance and wages according to the minimum wage. Furthermore, the tourism workers' union has not been fully able to fight for the rights of Balinese tourism workers. The Bali Provincial Government needs to mediate and provide guidance to tourism service business owners to provide legal protection and proper welfare for Balinese tourism workers.
