<![CDATA[Law No. 8 of 2016 concerning persons with disabilities pressures the rights of persons with disabilities on access to public facilities, including the tourism sector. Bantul Regency has great potential for natural and cultural tourism. However, Bantul Regency is able to face challenges in realizing inclusive tourism that is friendly to persons with disabilities. Many studies have highlighted inclusive tourism but most still focus on general aspects of inclusivity in general without exploring in depth accessibility for persons with disabilities, even though accessibility is the main foundation for creating inclusive and socially just tourist destinations. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the strategy of the Bantul Regency government in creating sustainable inclusive tourism. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The results of this study indicate that Bantul Regency has not fully developed inclusive tourism, with accessibility facilities that are not evenly distributed across all tourist destinations, although there have been some initial efforts. Therefore, this study provides suggestions so that the Bantul Regency Government can create tourism facilities that are in accordance with accessibility standards, fair, inclusive, and sustainable, in accordance with Law No. 8 of 2016. This study has limitations that lie in the number of respondents which are still limited.]]>
