Indonesia is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations because of its abundant natural resources, cultural variety, and historical sites. Tourism helps to drive national economic growth, create jobs, and promote regional development. However, the unregulated tourism boom has caused environmental deterioration, cultural commercialisation, and social problems. This article looks at sustainable tourism in Indonesia and emphasises the significance of balancing cultural preservation, economic rewards, and
environmental protection. The study highlights the importance of government policies, local communities, tourism enterprises, and tourists in fostering sustainable tourism development. The essay also uses Yogyakarta
as an example of sustainable tourism techniques that can be implemented in other parts of Indonesia.
