Optimizing Sustainable Tourism Governance and Its Impact on Employment Opportunities Through a Dynamic Governance Approach

Abstract

The goal of this research is to use a dynamic governance model to improve sustainable tourist governance and its influence on job possibilities. This approach focusses on policy adaptation and cross-sector collaboration to solve concerns related to sustainable tourism. This study used a qualitative descriptive technique with interviews, document analysis, and news reports as major data sources. NVivo 12 Plus was used to code data and do thematic analysis. The research investigates the efficacy of sustainable tourist governance by evaluating adaptation, collaboration, and community involvement. Dynamic governance has been found to increase policy effectiveness by promoting stakeholder involvement and innovation. These findings contribute conceptually to the dynamic governance paradigm while also having practical implications for policymakers tackling tourism sustainability challenges in Wakatobi Regency. This study focusses on adaptive policies and stakeholder involvement to provide sustainable tourism and fair economic rewards. The paper recommends more investment in community skills development, sustainable infrastructure, and active community participation in the tourist business. This study emphasises the need for greater research to evaluate these tactics in broader contexts.
