Abstract
The study was done in March 2020 in Dusun Gojang Utara, Bontomarannu Village, Bontomanai Sub-district, Selayar Islands District, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, aiming at exploring the opportunity and feasibility of “Kenari Forest” as a tourist attraction. A descriptive-status approach was used in this study that was sought to answer questions about real-life situations, and in addition, the scoring of potential tourism object/attraction utilized the 2003 ADO-ODTWA Guideline. Overall, Dusun Gojang Utara has a high potency as a community-based tourism destination, although there are four criteria needed improvement, nanely: accessibility, surrounding conditions, management and services, and climate. Unfortunately, Dusun Gojang Utara as a tourist village is yet to be the priority of the local government,. Indeed, as part of the Bontomarannu Village, this dusun is included as an agro-tourism development area, but the potential of this dusun is not for agro-tourism, instead its tourism attraction resides in the local livelihood itself.
Highlights

Studies on the development of communitybased tourism have been done in Indonesia, in Jawa, Bali and Lombok, but it has rarely been investigated from South Sulawesi, especially Selayar Island
Summary
The tourism sector has an important role as a source of national foreign exchange, as well as encouraging national economic growth, in reducing unemployment and increasing national productivity. In her analysis, Yakup (2019) found that tourism has a positive and significant effect on economic growth in Indonesia. Since 2010, global tourism has undergone a shift from mass tourism to responsible tourism. Indonesia has not addressed such a change seriously due to lack of knowledge about the global change in tourism paradigm (Poerwanto, 2020). One of responsible tourism types is known as rural (or village) tourism
