Abstract

This paper discusses the implementation of community support in tourism planning in Sumenep, Madura Island. Community participation in tourism development process has been widely recognised as essential (Cole 2008). It is believed that participation of locals in tourism planning results in better support and attitudes towards tourism and subsequently, this creates a successful industry. A lack of community support has become one of the major problems of tourism planning in developing countries. This is in contrast to the sustainable tourism principle that entails a long-term perspective and broad-based participation in tourism, particularly in policy formulation, decision making and implementation at all levels (United Nations 2002). Yet, if the aspirations of locals are ignored or not included in tourism planning, resentments and hostilities may happen and these may have the potential to damage the industry (Zhang, Inbakaran & Jackson 2006). As the one of potential destination in Madura, Sumenep ideally apply this community support in tourism planning. However, results show that lack of community support in tourism planning occurs in Sumenep. The strong hold in culture and religion among Sumenep society has strengthened their awareness in participating in tourism planning. Yet, lack of access in participating has become one of their barriers in participating in tourism planning.
