Abstract
This paper intends to bring the readers’ attention to the multidimensional impacts of the Sail Komodo event to the development of Komodo District. Indonesia is a developing archipelagical nation with many rural and underdeveloped areas. Seeing the optimism of international tourism’s role as a local economy and development booster, the Indonesian government has chosen a few potential rural and underdeveloped areas to become new tourism destinations. Komodo District is one of the few chosen ones, and an international yacht-sailing event was held in 2013 throughout the province with the name of Sail Komodo.
Literature study and also personal observation were done to accumulate a grounded knowledge and discussions about tourism development, tourism event, tourism impacts, and other premises, as well as perspective on the real conditions and issues in the designated region after the event took place. The analysis and discussion are expected to yield a review on matters of tourism impacts environmentally, socially, and economic-wise.
