<![CDATA[Destination development requires collaboration among government, tourism businesses, local communities, visitors, and supporting institutions. However, tourism development in many destinations remains fragmented because stakeholder interests, authority, and resources are not adequately integrated. This study aims to formulate a stakeholder collaboration-based model for sustainable destination development. The research employed a qualitative conceptual design through a systematic review of scientific articles concerning destination governance, stakeholder collaboration, community participation, and sustainable tourism. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis by identifying recurring concepts, relationships, and implementation mechanisms. The synthesis indicates that an effective destination development model consists of five interconnected components: stakeholder mapping, shared vision formulation, collaborative institutional arrangements, joint resource mobilization, and monitoring-evaluation. Community participation, transparency, trust, and digital communication function as strengthening factors, whereas power imbalance, sectoral ego, limited capacity, and weak accountability become major barriers. The proposed model contributes theoretically by integrating stakeholder theory and collaborative governance in the context of tourism destinations. Practically, it can guide local governments and destination management organizations in designing inclusive and sustainable development programs.]]>
