<![CDATA[Beach tourism utilizes coastal resources that can form value chain linkages within the tourism industry and generate economic value. This study aims to analyze the economic impact of Kurenai Beach tourism on the local economy of Botubarani Village, Bone Bolango Regency, using the Keynesian Local Income Multiplier (KLIM) and Ratio Income Multiplier (RIM) approaches. The survey was conducted from May to July 2025 through interviews with 100 tourists, 27 business unit owners, and 34 local workers. The analysis covers direct, indirect, and induced impacts of beach tourism activities. The results indicate that average tourist expenditure was IDR 608,090 per visit, of which 52.14% was spent outside the tourist area and 47.86% within the tourist area. The largest direct economic impact came from food stalls and entrance fees, totaling IDR 153,505,001 per month, while the indirect impact reached IDR 64,914,001. Labor household consumption generated an induced effect, with 95.24% of expenditure occurring locally. The KLIM value was 0.06, while RIM I and RIM II were 1.29 and 1.71, respectively. These findings indicate that Kurenai Beach generates positive local economic effects but still experiences substantial initial leakage through off-site tourist expenditure. Strengthening local supply chains, increasing micro-enterprise capacity, expanding local employment, and improving community-based tourism management are therefore important to increase local economic retention.]]>
