Capital struggle in tourism development

Case from canggu village, north kuta district, bali

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of Canggu Village in terms of exploration as a tourist destination that can potentially improve community welfare. Still, the people of Canggu Village have not paid taxes. The government has begun to issue regulations to oversee tourism development, which has given rise to collaboration between the government, investors, and the community. The ideological differences between These actors create a struggle to gain capital, which has an impact on tourism development in Canggu Village. This study uses a qualitative approach with triangulation techniques: observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results indicate that government regulations, conflicts of interest between agencies, uneven regulation implementation, and broker practices triggered the struggle. These forms of struggle include violence against the environment, land sales conflicts, variations in land prices, and resistance to villa managers and the government. This struggle's implications include infrastructure changes, unclear geographical boundaries, and socio-cultural shifts that weaken family ties. Land ownership conflicts, inheritance disputes, and the emergence of prostitution and gambling practices further worsen socio-economic conditions, with the emergence of land brokers as a new social class. Overlapping regulations are a challenge in developing tourism in Canggu Village.
