The Influence of Tourist Perceived Equality, Government Support on Tourism Development Through Improving the Community's Economy

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of quality perceived by tourists and government support on tourism development through community economic improvement. This research was conducted at Bonebula tourist destination, Towale Village. This research uses quantitative methods. The participants were 66 people, and the sampling technique was used accidentally. This research uses questionnaire tools. The results showed that the quality perceived by tourists on tourism development through improving the community economy (X1 through Z to Y) was greater than the effect of government support on tourism development through enhancing the community economy (X2 through Z to Y). This finding suggests that the perceived quality of tourists has a significant influence on community economic development. From a practical perspective, these results highlight how important the perceived quality of tourists is and how important it is for the government to help improve community economies and develop tourism. To increase the attractiveness of tourist destinations, the government and tourism industry players should work together to improve services, infrastructure, and accessibility.
