Abstract

Most of tourism development model in Indonesia still adopt the comparative advantage approach. This has resulted in Indonesian tourism being less competitive than neighboring countries that have adopted a competitive advantage strategy. This study examines the development of special interest tourism in Banyuwangi Regency, which is one of the new emerging tourist destinations in Indonesia. This study adopts Roger ‘s theory of the diffusion of innovation in order to provide an overview of the development as expected. The data in this study were obtained through a field study during the period July to September 2018. The results of this study indicate that human resources play the most important role in directing tourism developments into the industrial downstream policy. By adopting the downstream policy, the expected result is an emerging destination that is more competitive in the rising competition of the global tourism industry.
