<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the economic impact of community-based tourism on Indonesia’s five super-priority destinations—Borobudur, Mandalika, Labuan Bajo, Lake Toba, and Likupang—using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The findings indicate that the development of community-based tourism significantly contributes to local income growth, job creation, and the strengthening of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Beyond its economic influence, tourism also reinforces cultural identity, encourages social participation, and enhances quality of life through improved access and community awareness.
