- Abstract
One area that might be exploited as a source of income for the region is the tourist industry. The development program and usage of local tourism resources and potential are anticipated to contribute to economic growth in order to improve local revenue. Based on this, the following problems can be studied: how is the form of legal protection against tourists who provide a source of tax revenue, and what are the legal consequences for tourists who avoid paying taxes. Normative legal research is used in the research process, and primary and secondary legal sources are used to create the legal materials. The results of the research also show that Article 20 of Law Number 10 of 2009 Concerning Tourism, which states that “every tourist has the right to obtain accurate information about tourist attractions, tourism services in accordance with standards, legal protection and security, health services, protection of personal rights, and insurance protection for hi..., expressly regulates the type of legal protection for tourists who provide a source of tax foreign exchange.” This safeguard is oppressive. The legal repercussions for tourists who do not pay taxes, particularly against foreign tourists in the case of abuse of foreign visitor visas, are subject to administrative sanctions as well as criminal sanctions, such as imprisonment or forcible expulsion from Indonesian territory. However, because it is paid for along with the purchase of tour tickets, the arrangement is established from the start for domestic travelers.
