ABSTRACT
Community Based Tourism and Its Impacts to the Welfare of Farmers in Kertalangu
Culture Village, Denpasar City
The development of tourism in Bali until now has oriented in the mass tourism
concept that was dominated by investors through the development of large scale facilities to
boost the local revenue. In the short term, tourism gives significant benefits to economic, but
in the long run it will become a boomerang for economy. An alternative to the tourism
problem is the establishment of community based tourism which farmers as the subject
directly involve in tourism. The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of
tourism, empowerment, and participation on increasing the welfare of farmers. The study had

purposive sampling which consist of 57 farmers. Technique analysis data using Partial Least
Square (PLS) with Smart PLS program.

empowerment, and it has followed by farmers empowerment also have significant impact on
the farmer participation. In contrast, farmer’s participation have not significant on
increasing their welfare. This indicate that the farmer’s participation have not give opimal
benefit in supporting welfare of their life. Farmer have not look as the tourism subject. The
role of farmers and subak have limited to support the tourism development, which the
farmers have not involvement directly. It suggested the need that will be supported by private
sector to develop agriculture to agrotourism. Trough the development of agrotourism a lot of
agriculture commodities can be developed, and has been undertaken by various
