Abstract

The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is an initiative of ASEAN countries to realize ASEAN into a solid and calculated economic area in the international economic arena. Human Development Index (HDI) is a method used to measure the success or failure of a country or region in the field of human development. The economic growth of ASEAN countries and tourism sectors is very important for the improvement of the HDI. This study uses a quantitative method with panel data secondary to the 2011-2015 period by combining 10 ASEAN countries. The HDI in ASEAN countries is already good, it can be explained that Singapore is the country that has the highest HDI while Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia are the countries that have the lowest Human Development Index. To overcome the increasing human development index in Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, an open economy needs to be improved by conducting international trade. Digital technology is needed to further accelerate the economy of openness. Government policies of the three countries are to be more open in their economy. It is hoped that the policies of these three countries can contribute to creating a prosperous society in ASEAN countries and having a parallel HDI
