Abstract

The tourism sector is the largest contributor to Bali and most of Bali's income is supported by the Badung tourism sector. In an effort to improve the quality of the destination and increase the income of the tourism sector, Badung focused its attention on developing its rural destination program, in particular Badung's village destination program. Badung has some strategies to build a village as a tourist attraction. Hence, in order to be successful in this program, the parties involved need to identify the steps that could bring economic benefits to the communities. Attention needs to be paid to tourist facilities and infrastructure so that the tourist village destination program can be maintained and sustained for a long period. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the readiness of the communities of Badung stakeholders who are directly developing and living in rural areas on the basis of the 10A’s concept. Respondents of this study include people in the tourist village of Badung, government and policy makers, tourist organizations and academicians. The quantitativequalitative research approach has been applied in this study, where the use of the face-to-face interview method, in-depth interviews and fieldwork observation have also been carried out with stakeholders. The results have shown that the northern part of Badung Regency is ready to become a village tourist destination. This research can contribute to and broaden the study of tourism destinations as well as rural tourism development through tourist village destinations.
