<![CDATA[This paper analyzes the role of tourism in supporting sustainable development, and economic empowerment. So far tourism has greatly contributed to the economic growth and employment, but it also worries because the negative impact caused is very complex, both in terms of social, cultural, economic, and natural resources and the environment. It is a paradox in the lives of mankind today especially associated with the current development paradigm, namely sustainable development that was declared by the United Nations through the Rio Summit, 1992, which aimed to conserve natural resources and the environment.
