This study aims to analyze local community participation in sustainable tourism management in the Cacalan Beach Area, Banyuwangi. Sustainable tourism is an important concept to maintain a balance between economic, social, and environmental aspects so that local community involvement is crucial. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation. Research respondents include local communities, tourism managers, local governments, and related business actors. The results of the study show that local community participation is reflected in various activities, such as environmental conservation through beach cleaning activities, waste management, the development of a creative economy based on tourism, and the promotion of local culture. In addition, the community is also involved in providing tourism services such as culinary, accommodation, and tour guides. However, there are challenges in the form of limited knowledge and resources that hinder the optimization of the role of the community in sustainable tourism management. Factors such as government support and ongoing training for local communities are needed to improve the quality of participation. This study concludes that local community participation in the Cacalan Beach Area is quite significant, but needs to be improved with stronger collaboration between the community, government, and the private sector. Community empowerment efforts through education and training are key to achieving more sustainable tourism management in the future.
