  • Abstract

    This research report delves into the possibilities of promoting investment in West Papua, Indonesia, by leveraging sustainable tourism and nurturing the local cultural heritage. West Papua is renowned for its unspoiled natural landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and vibrant indigenous traditions. Nevertheless, it grapples with challenges concerning economic advancement, infrastructural development, and ecological sustainability. The adoption of sustainable tourism emerges as a promising avenue for addressing these issues, given its core principles of safeguarding the environment, preserving indigenous cultures, and enhancing community welfare. The study’s objectives encompass an assessment of the opportunities and hurdles associated with sustainable tourism in West Papua, an exploration of how local culture influences tourist attraction and cultural preservation, an examination of global best practices in sustainable tourism, an evaluation of the region’s potential for eco-friendly tourism investments, and the provision of strategic policy recommendations for relevant stakeholders. The research methodology relies on secondary data sources, including scholarly articles, reports, and case studies. The analysis places emphasis on the economic, environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of sustainable tourism in the context of West Papua. Ultimately, the report concludes by furnishing guidance for bolstering sustainable tourism policies, enhancing infrastructure, encouraging further research, and cultivating an inviting atmosphere for investments in sustainable tourism within West Papua.
