East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) has tremendous tourism potential, ranging from stunning natural beauty to rich cultural diversity. However, this potential has not been optimally utilized, partly due to infrastructure limitations. This paper analyzes how infrastructure limitations, such as transportation accessibility, accommodation availability, and other supporting infrastructure, hinder tourism development in NTT. This study employs a qualitative approach using literature review and secondary data analysis to identify the significant impacts of infrastructure limitations on tourism sector growth, local community income, and environmental conservation. The findings reveal that infrastructure limitations significantly hinder NTT's competitiveness as a tourist destination, limit economic opportunities for local communities, and pose a risk of environmental damage if not managed properly. This paper also offers policy recommendations to address these issues, including strategic infrastructure investment, public- private partnerships, and sustainable tourism development.
