education and existence of Balinese culture in the middle of urban areas. (Kemenparekraf., 2021)(City
Pariwisata Kota Denpasar., 2022).
In its development, this Cultural Village has not been able to become a leading tourist attraction,
because the development of Kertalangu Cultural Village is not going well and lack of maintenance
from the management so that many facilities are damaged. Especially when the Covid-19 pandemic
paralyzed all tourism in Bali, this also had an impact on Kertalangu Cultural Village where the jogging
track facility in this Cultural Village was temporarily closed. As a result, there was a decrease in
tourist attraction to visit the village in 2020, there were only a total of 4,122 tourists consisting of
4,027 domestic tourists and 95 foreign tourists. Kertalangu Cultural Village requires further handling
to restore the attractiveness of tourists to visit. Therefore, the Denpasar City Government implements
(City Pariwisata Kota Denpasar., 2020)Sustainable Tourism as a first step to make Kertalangu Cultural
Village a sustainable tourism that can have an attraction again for tourists.
Sustainable Tourism is the development of the concept of tourism that can have a long-term
impact, both on the environment, social, cultural, industrial, and economic, for the present and future
for all local communities and tourists who visit. (Kemenparekraf, 2021)Sustainable Tourism is a
sustainable practice carried out in domestic tourism and by the tourism industry. There are four
components in (CNN Indonesia., 2023)Sustainable Tourism, namely environmental, economic, socio-
culturally sustainable and governance. Environmentally sustainable can be achieved by utilizing
optimal environmental resources through resource limitation and maintaining biodiversity
preservation in tourist attractions. Economically sustainable can be done by reducing poverty,
encouraging economic growth and creating jobs. Then socio-cultural sustainability can be done by
maintaining the socio-cultural authenticity of the local community and preserving the values of local
cultural customs. Sustainable governance, namely with the management that maintains the tourist
attractions.(Hafiz., 2022)(Dinar et al., 2022).
According to Chris Cooper (2005), tourist attractions can be developed into Tourist Attractions
through four aspects of tourism referred to as 4A, namely Attraction which means attractions such as
attractions in the form of nature, culture, and man-made in a tourist destination, accessibility which
means the availability of adequate facilities and can provide convenience to tourists to visit a tourist
destination (Sunaryo., 2013), Amenities which means all facilities such as information centers,
restaurants, and public bathrooms that support to meet the needs of tourists while in tourist
destinations, and Ancillary which means the existence of institutions or organizations that manage a
tourist attraction. Kertalangu Cultural Village in its development applies aspects of 4A tourism so that
it can potentially make it a sustainable Tourism Attraction.
The research was conducted in Kertalangu Cultural Village due to a problem, namely in its
management, this Cultural Village is not running well so according to researchers when making direct
observations to Kertalangu Cultural Village, researchers see that the village can be redeveloped and
become one of the leading tourism assets in Bali. In conducting this study, researchers have reviewed
several previous studies as a benchmark that shows similar topics, namely related to sustainable
tourism development in Tourism Attraction. One of them is a study conducted by I Made Agus Asta
Panca and I Nyoman Darma Putra in 2016 which focused on evaluating the implementation of
Kertalangu Cultural Village development program in terms of context, input, process and product. It
is different from this research because this research will emphasize the results of the implementation
of Sustainable Tourism in Kertalangu Cultural Village so as to make it a Tourism Attraction with
sustainable tourism. This research is also interesting because it is the first study to examine the
implementation of Sustainable Tourism in Kertalangu Cultural Village. Thus, this research not only
contributes to the academic literature but can also help in the development of tourist attraction in
order to make it a sustainable tourism.
