Abstract

The objective of this research was to understand comprehensively the sustainable and innovative of social, economic and ecological community empowerment based on strategies and synergies in Labuan Bajo’s ecotourism development as an integrated ecotourism ecosystem of marine, forest, mountain, and karst in West Flores, East Nusa Tenggara Province. It was a qualitative research with a program evaluation based on CIPP model conducted in Manggarai Barat Regency in 2016-2018. The data were collected through field surveys, news content analysis, using document studies, observations, recordings, FGD and in-depth interviews conducted with respondents and interviewees from the head of the Regional Tourism Agency of Manggarai Barat, Community Development Agency of European Union, and related local government agencies. The data analysis and interpretation indicates that (1) Labuan Bajo’s ecotourism is integrated ecotourism ecosystem of marine, forest, mountain and karst which needs a sustainable and innovative ecotourism development strategic planning; (2) It is important to support global strategies system based on constructive local people participation and proposed by the strategic partnership of European Union and Kementerian Pariwisata RI. Without the support of local government capability, the program will not succeed. (3) The program did not develop a strategic planning because The Bupati of Manggarai Barat Regency has not yet formed Tim Koordinasi Ekowisata and Sekretariat Tim Koordinasi Ekowisata for managing all coordinations and communications about strategic planning and monitoring the Labuan Bajo’s ecotourism. (4) Aligning all stakeholder’s activities effectively is needed through the CIPP Evaluation Model for improvements by strategic planning approach. The findings lead to the recommendation that contribution of local government regulation for aligning strategic activities were needed to manage the program effectively before and after the program in transforming the Labuan Bajo’ ecotourism ecosystem to global market connectivities. This recommendation is important to support the implementation of sustainable development in the future.
