<![CDATA[The growth of the tourism sector in the Bukit Batu area of Palangka Raya City has increased in recent years, as indicated by the development of at least six leading tourist destinations. However, the economic benefits have not been evenly distributed among the local community. The main problem in this study is to what extent the growth of the tourism sector affects the increase in community income. This study aims to analyze the effect of tourism sector growth on the income of local communities. The method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique. Data were obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to 50 respondents involved in tourism-related economic activities. Data analysis was carried out using validity, reliability, normality tests, and simple linear regression. The results show that all research instruments are valid and reliable, and the data are normally distributed. The regression analysis produces the equation Y = 19.955 + 0.880X, indicating that the growth of the tourism sector has a positive and significant effect on increasing community income. This means that as the tourism sector develops, the income of local communities also increases. However, there are still several obstacles to the equitable distribution of economic benefits, such as limited capital, low skill levels, and inadequate supporting infrastructure.
