Summary

Introduction

Tourism is the third focus sector in Indonesia which helps the economic and livelihood development both for the urban and non-urban areas. As a complex sector that involved both direct and indirect enterprise led tourism sector to create more benefits and advantages to all layers and business levels (small, medium, and big scale), and help the local, regional, and national economic development [31, 36]. Bali shows a considerable improvement both for private and public infrastructure, giving birth and growing a small-medium and local enterprise, develop the local economy, increased the industry demand, and increased employment opportunity, and help to reduce labour force [3]. These positive and prominent impacts from tourism encourage other regions to follow their steps. This concept was created by choosing ten (10) destinations, including Lake Toba, Tanjung Kelayang, Tanjung Lesung, Kepulauan Seribu, Borobudur Temple, Mount Bromo, Mandalika, Labuan Bajo, Wakatobi, and Motrotai Island, with the top-down approach of attraction, accessibility, and amenities, which aims to distribute the tourism development to all over Indonesia [11, 14, 21]
