Abstract

Indonesia has vast natural tourism potential, one of which is Lake Ranamese, located in Golo Loni Village, Ranamese District, East Manggarai Regency. The development of this tourist attraction holds great potential to enhance the local community’s economy. This study aims to analyze policy strategies for the development of Lake Ranamese tourism, the supporting factors, and the challenges faced.This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation from various stakeholders, including the Department of Culture and Tourism and the local community. The findings indicate that the development of Lake Ranamese tourism has positively impacted the community, particularly in increasing income through tourism-related sectors such as homestay services, tour guiding, and culinary businesses.However, several obstacles remain, including a lack of promotion, limited infrastructure, and suboptimal coordination between the government and the community. Therefore, an ecotourism-based strategy and active community participation are crucial in ensuring the sustainability and attractiveness of Lake Ranamese tourism. With the right policy implementation, this tourism development can contribute to improving the local community’s economic well-being and increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD).
