Abstract

Amay Beach is expected by the government and the community to be one of the leading tourism potentials in the Papua Province. However, there are still many problems in the tourist area that must be resolved to meet those expectations.

This study used a quantitative method with a frequency distribution analysis tool to tabulate the results of community participation. The results concluded that Amay Beach is a region with typical environmental conditions, 46% of the community gave direction to the concept of tourism development in the environmental development sector. Tourism activities are expected to provide economic improvement, so that 33% of the community gives direction to the concept of tourism development in the economic development sector. In addition to these two things, Amay Beach area still holds high local and customary values. As a result, 21% of the community provides development direction in the socio-cultural sector.
