Obstruction In Planning And Budgeting For Tourism Village Development In Bolaang Mongondow East Regency Indonesia

Abstract

This research aims to identify obstacles in planning and budgeting for the development of tourism villages in East Bolaang Mongondow District, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Key issues identified include poor coordination between government agencies, limited budget allocations due to political priorities, low understanding and capacity of village officials, stakeholder conflicts of interest, bureaucratic obstacles in decision-making and implementation, and inadequate community participation. Utilizing a qualitative approach with a case study method, the findings reveal that these obstacles significantly hinder the development of tourism villages in the district. Consequently, the tourism potential remains underutilized, failing to enhance the regional economy and community welfare. Addressing these issues requires improvements in inter-agency coordination, budget management, capacity building for village officials, conflict resolution, and increased community participation.
