1. Introduction
Tourism plays a major part in the world's economic development. In recent decades, many
countries have taken tourism seriously and made it one of the leading sectors in terms of foreign
exchange profits, vancancies, and overcoming poverty (Pitana & Diarta, 2009). Tourism is like a fresh
air for economic growth at the cross border regions, eventhough it will trigger conflicts of interest in
managing tourist attraction (Taena & Afoan, 2020). Alternatively stated, tourism is a vital sector in
improving community welfare.
Tourism is the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of
work and residence, the activities undertaken during their stay in those destinations and the facilities
created to cater to their needs (Zalukhu & Meyers, 2009). Tourism is also defined as short-term stay in
places outside their usual environment for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the
exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited. Tourism has a fairly broad scope, not
only related to tourist destinations, but also about activities related to one's needs (Muljadi, 2009).
Individuals who do travelling aim for a vacation and relaxation.
The issue of competitiveness of Indonesian tourism destinations is quite challenging to analyze.
It takes strategic steps and real action to make them worth exploring. Increasing the competitiveness of
tourism is seen as a strategic step to enlarge the tourist market and exploit the potential of national
tourism. Competitiveness determines the ability of local tourism products to penetrate and reach the top
position in the increasingly competitive global tourist market (Damanik, 2013).
In facing tight competitiveness, one of the most important things to master is the management of
tourist attractions. In the future, this is predicted to spur an increase in the number of tourist visits. On
the other hand, the local government must act as a good tourism manager. The government must find
positive and negative things related to tourist attractions, so in carrying out the management and
governance of tourism by stakeholders, from government, industry and community elements around
the destination, everything can run as expected (Nuryanti, 1997).
According to Pitana & Diarta (2009), managing tourism must refer to principles that apply
values of environment preservation, community and social values that allow tourists to enjoy tourism
activities and benefit the local community. In addition, institutional governance needs to consider
authority, characteristics, needs, financial, organizational resources, human resources, development of
partnership patterns, etc. Through these considerations, tourism development is expected to be
achieved (Sedarmayanti, 2014).
The principle of good management is coordination, participation and synchronization among
stakeholders from government, industry and local community (integrated and mutually reinforcing)
(Sunaryo, 2013). Therefore, the government must make various efforts in developing tourism facilities
and infrastructure (Primadany, 2013).
In Indonesia, some people are concern about tourism and hospitality industry. Some others are
apathetic about the potential of tourist destinations around their environment (Yasir et al., 2019). Lots
of tourist destinations such as natural, cultural, educational, etc., have high potential but are less
developed that ultimately have no impact to the environment and the community. One of them is Tete
Beach in Bone regency of South Sulawesi
Tete Beach is located in the southern Bone, at Bone Pute village of Tonra district, around 61 km
from the center of its capital, Watampone. This tourist attraction is relatively new because of its
unfamiliar existence compared to other tourist objects (Ramli et al., 2019). Tete Beach is usually used
as a recreation area for local people and a permanent training center for new TNI soldiers. Here, the
soldiers carried out various physical trainings.

Tete Beach is often used as a war simulations area because of its strategic and representative
territory ranging from sea, air, to land. The beach has the opportunity to become a new destination in
Bone regency (Ramli et al., 2019). Ironically, the beach has not yet developed optimally because there
have not been concrete steps taken by the local government in terms of cooperation in tourism
management.
Tete Beach is well-known for its clear sea water, white sand that amazes visitors, and historical
values that can be used by students and researchers as educational materials. Meanwhile, its physical
conditions need to be addressed immediately, such as poor maintained beach, trash scattered on the
beach, broken roads, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, no information location and unclear
management. This is the main purpose of researchers to provide an overview of the evaluation or even
the right strategy in the management of Tete beach tourism destinations to become a competitive and
sustainable tourist destination and eventually will increase income of the local community.
2. Literature Review
Travel and Tourism
Pariwisata or travel is originated from sanskert which means movement or journey from one
place to another. The concept of travel varies widely, depending on the background and perspective of
the originators. In essence, travel is an activity carried out by an individual or group to refresh a
saturated mind in the hope of getting fun or entertainment (Noviantoro & Zurohman, 2020).
In government regulation, the definition of travel is stated in Law No.10 Year 2009. The law
states that travel is all forms of tourist activity supported by facilities, infrastructure and services
provided by local community and stakeholders. The regulation clearly implies that travel is part of the
industry. In essence, travel as an industry is all forms of tourism business related to producing goods
and/ or services for the needs of tourists.
Tourism deals with all travelling aspects. Interaction between tourist and tourist attraction can
influence one another. It is affected by facilities, infrastructure, and community interest towards the
tourist object. Tourism is a phenomenon caused by the movement of people between distant
geographical locations for pleasant vacation. It forms a tourism system which consists of tourist
destinations, planning trips, facilities (Hidayah in Noviantoro & Zurohman, 2020).

This policy implies that industrial development must be in line with and in synergy with other
development directions. Community participation must exist in the development of tourism industry.
Thus, it is necessary to have a balanced role both from the government and the community for the
development of the tourism industry in Indonesia.
Furthermore, the policy is the rule of the game or framework for tourism businessmen (Hidayat,
2011). Those rules are:
1. Determine the expected activities and behavior
2. Provide direction and guidance for all tourism stakeholders in a particular destination
3. Facilitate agreements based on strategies and specific objectives to a particular destination
4. Provide an overview for public discussion about the role and contribution of the tourism sector
and the economy to society in general
5. Allows tourism to co-exist with other sectors

The process of developing tourist destinations needs a better planning system. One of the most
important is the sustainability development. There are three main principles in sustainability
development according to McIntyre (1993) namely:
1. Ecological Sustainability
It ensures that the development is following the ecological, biological, and diversity of
existing natural resources.
2. Social and Cultural Sustainability
It ensures that the development benefits the local community and mantains the culture and
values that apply to them.
3. Economic Sustainability
It ensures that development is economically efficient and the resources used are
sustainable for future needs.
Researches show that tourism will improve the economy of local community. A research by
Taena & Afoan (2020) found that there is a positive impact of tourism in neighboring borders on the
economy of local community. It also increase and strengthen the area as a new develop region, as well
as enhance the local revenue and tourism levy. In addition, a research by Hermawan (2016) in
Yogyakarta on the impact of a tourism village development illustrates that the existence of tourism
has a positive impact on the economic of local communities in Nglanggeran village, Pathuk sub-
district of Gunung Kidul district.

techniques were observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses
qualitative descriptive analysis with several steps, i.e. data processing, data analysis, and interpretation
of the results on the management of Tete Beach as a tourist destination in Bone regency.

The list shows that Tete Beach is not registered in the management of Tourism Office of Bone
Regency. It is due to the ownership rights of TNI that Tete Beach is not open to public yet. Indeed,
Tete Beach is a military training area, but it has numerous unique and interesting potentials to be
developed and favoured by many tourists especially from Bone Regency as local tourists.
A local of Bone Puteh Village, Andi Irwan (35 years old) explained to the researchers (Interview
on November 10th, 2019) that the current condition of Tete Beach is still ordinary and does not
indicate as a tourist destination. This is because the location of this tourist destination is basically not a
place for recreational activities but the location is entirely owned by the TNI in Bone, which is only
intended for military training. Therefore, in arranging optimal management of Tete Beach as a new
reliable destination, it is necessary for Tourism Office of Bone Regency to cooperate with TNI
especially in terms of coordination for management development.
This needs to be done immediately considering the enthusiasm of the local community even
from outside the Bone Regency area have a strong desire to visit the Tete Beach location. The response
from the community needs to be fulfilled immediately in order to make Tete Beach a new destination
in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi Province.

times
The Data in Table 2 shows that the potensials of Tete Beach is sufficient but requires
development and improvement. The essential of travelling to a certain tourist destination is an
enjoyable experience. However, tourists will certainly get disappointment when the destination they
visit does not have the facilities as expected. Therefore, tourism development plan is crucial as one of
the government's strategies in promoting Tete Beach.

function of the government to control the implementation of development is needed. As we are aware
that the involvement of the private sector is to gain benefits. However, the benefits obtained by the
private sector should not be detrimental to development. Therefore, it is crucial to have supervision and
time restrictions from the government. The formation of work team for Tete Beach management can be
done by following several steps as follows:
a) Form a team of experts, according to the government's request as stated in the Framework
Agreement.
b) Form a team of survey personnel
c) Prepare facilities needed in the implementation
Community Participation
In principle, the development of tourist destination is not merely business oriented. One of the
supporting factors in the successful development of Tete Beach is by implementing the Sapta Pesona
Pariwisata Indonesia or known as 7-K, which consists of security (Keamanan), order (Ketertiban),
cleanliness (Kebersihan), serenity (Kesejukan), beauty (Keindahan), hospitality (Keramahan), and
memories (Kenangan).
Furthermore, another important and fundamental aspect for the success of tourism development
is the creation of a conducive climate for the growth and development of tourism activities. The
conducive climate is related to reinforcement, acceptance and community participation in tourism
development. In terms of reinforcement and community participation in tourism activities, the concept
10
Ekuilibrium: Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Ilmu Ekonomi Vol. 16, No. 1 (2021): March, pp. xx-xx
of "Tourism Awareness" must be internalized in every community. There are two main objectives in
this concept.
a) Encourage local community to create a condusive climate to the growth and development of
tourism activities in the region, i,e. as good hosts.
b) Encourage the local community to become businessmen (travel agencies, hosts) and tourist in
Tete Beach.
Community participation in the management of Tete Beach benefits the local community. By
participating in tourism management with the government and the private sector, it will improve their
income. This is in accordance with the study conducted by (Sunaryo, 2013) which states that to
develop a certain tourism destination, the most basic thing to do is facilitate involvement of local
communities and maximize the value of social and economic benefits from tourism activities for the
local community. The local community has an equally important position in tourism development,
apart from the government and private industry. Furthermore, overcoming low community
participation in tourism can be pursued through mentoring and advocacy. Therefore, Musadad (2018)
suggests that advocacy programs from stakeholders are needed to minimize these problems. The
participation of community could be involvement in attending meetings, exchanging opinions, sharing
experiences, and exchanging information about strategy, management and development of tourist
destination.
5. Conclusion
As part of marine tourism, Tete beach has enormous potential as a new mesmerizing
destination Bone. To maximize the results of tourist management, it is needed to improve the
management cooperation relationship between the TNI and the Tourism Office of Bone Regency. The
strategies are to prepare Regional Tourism Development Master Plan (RIPDA). This is important to
do since all the tourist destination in Bone, include Tete Beach, can be registered, budgeted, and begin
the construction. Furthermore, to prepare appropriate management of Human Resources in the
tourism sector, develop facilities and infrastructure in the locations. In addition, an integrated form of
supervision between the TNI and the Tourism Office of Bone regency, the private sector, and the
local community related to the management of Tete Beach.
The management of Tete Beach is similar to the management of marine tourism destinations. It
should involve all elements in the surrounding area, including the government, the private sector and
local community around Tete beach. However, the management system must remain in synergy with
existing local wisdom and also because it is often used by the TNI as military training area, it requires
good coordination with related managers. In developing Tete Beach, the government should consider
nine aspects of tourism development, i.e. (1) development of facilities, (2) development of tourism
infrastucture, (3) development of accessibility to tourist destinations, (4) development of tourist
attraction, (5) tourism investment development, (6) tourism industry development, (7) community
empowerment, (8) tourism image and promotion, and (9) harmonization of policies and regulations
that will underlie the framework of the Directorate General of Tourism.
