Summary
Padar Island, part of Indonesia's Komodo National Park, has emerged as a significant tourist destination, outpacing nearby islands like Komodo and Rinca. Despite its growing tourism potential, the study highlights that management efforts in the region primarily focus on conservation rather than tourism-specific strategies. The research identifies key challenges, including the island's tourism profile—encompassing attraction, accessibility, amenities, and ancillary factors—as well as the impact of tourism on natural conditions and community interactions. It also examines resource management strategies implemented by Komodo National Park authorities. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative and quantitative data from observations, interviews, and documents to address these issues. The findings underscore the need for balanced tourism management that integrates conservation goals with sustainable visitor experiences.
