Abstract

The rapid growth of the tourism industry impacts labor absorption, including foreign workers (TKA). However, the presence of TKA has the potential to displace local workers. For this reason, it is necessary to examine how global bias in protecting the rights of local labor takes the form of labor law policies, as well as the challenges and opportunities for local labor in the tourism sector in the future. This research aims to understand the protection of local workers’ rights in the tourism sector and the opportunities and challenges for local workers in the future. This research method uses a legal normative approach. The research approach used by the author is the legislative approach and the conceptual approach. Hasil dari penelitian ini, first, the existence of GCET to regulate behavior and practices in the tourism industry globally can be concluded. This Code of Ethics promotes sustainable, responsible tourism that respects human rights, including workers’ rights from local communities. Several articles in this code of ethics explicitly state the importance of tourism activities in respecting, protecting, and fulfilling workers’ rights, especially those from local communities. Second, there are opportunities and challenges in the tourism sector, such as the opportunities in the tourism industry in Indonesia due to the increasing growth of tourism that aligns with economic growth and labor absorption, including foreign workers (TKA). However, this can also pose a challenge, as foreign workers can displace local workers (TKL). The discussion results show a need to strengthen regulatory policies regarding foreign and local labor in the tourism industry.
