quality of the water, and the protection of hurricanes, hurricanes and traditional food (Phillips, 2007; Krause and
Weir, 2011; Chien, 2016).
Tourists love the beach scene, and at the same time they become coastal lovers. The beach became a major tourist
destination. Currently coastal recreation is a trend for them. Coastal ecotourism demand continues to increase as
their economic level increases. This situation makes coastal tourism actors pay more attention to the conservation
of coastal environments that are key to the future of sustainable tourism. Factors that determine the quality of the
tour are the quality of the scenery, the quality of the water, and the protection of hurricanes, storms and traditional
food (Krause and Weir, 2011; Chien, 2016; Pace and Morgan, 2017).
Up to now, ecotourism activities are socially responsible travel activities to natural areas supported by
environmental disaster programs. This effort supports the community, because they are involved in the business.
Furthermore, some of them are involved in the accommodation business to accommodate the needs of national
and international tourists visiting the region. This is a unique experience for tourists who understand and
appreciate the culture of local people. This activity also creates jobs for local communities and becomes regional
development funds (Boscolo et al., 2011).
Currently, the community's understanding of ecotourism continues to increase along with the development of
environmentally friendly coastal tourism development program. Solutions, mass tourism development and
ecotourism will complement each other. Both types of tourism work together on different scales. When examined
from national and international tourism policies, these two travel activities can help integrate in tourism activities.
Government programs in developing a wider and global tourism sector can alleviate poverty and create
sustainable livelihoods. These obstacles are both integrated into the actual tourism market, coastal natural
resources, conservation policies and sustainable tourism development programs (Kelkit et al., 2010; Krause and
Weir, 2011; Doyon and Sabinot, 2014; Cobbinah, 2015).
The principle of sustainable coastal tourism that is generally aimed at generating alternative livelihoods for coastal
and rural communities. The plan, this principle is used in all regional strategic plans for the development of
coastal ecotourism areas. This is done using sustainable natural assets. Such economic outcomes are usually used
for revenue sharing between tour operators, local communities, and local governments generated through. This
tourism program is also to conserve resources from coastal communities (Sakata and Prideaux, 2013; Picard, 2015;
Pace and Morgan, 2017).
Potential coastal areas can play an important role in the development of fishing settlements and coral reef
conservation. This is the attraction of nature and cultural tourism. It is a tourist attraction to come to visit the area.
On the other hand, fishermen are generally still low income. Development of environmentally based fishermen
settlements is needed to increase future income. In addition, various socioeconomic activities in fishing areas can
be enhanced by fishery tourism programs in an effort to increase their economic income. This program can
preserve the socio-cultural, economic and coastal environment. Similarly, the development of trading activities
and management of seafood and traditional food can be done with coastal ecotourism zones, as they support each
other (Virapart, 2011; Porter et al., 2015; Whitney, 2017).
Coastal ecotourism has become a private and public sector development program in countries in the West Indian
Ocean. The program is to assess coastal ecotourism development and management assistance. The main thing
pointing out the target direction is to encourage and improve. This is done to build ecotourism performance. This
activity is not visible to travelers for the aesthetic elements of visual and landscape (Diamantis, 2000; Picard,
2007; Almeyda et al., 2010; Picard, 2015; Pace and Morgan, 2017).
Broadly speaking, ecotourism is all travel activities and enjoy the beauty of nature beach by maintaining coastal
resources that protected with local cultural wisdom. These attractions would be enjoyed by those with coastal
environments of a natural visual and landscape aesthetics. This will encourage and enhance regional economic
