Abstract

Lusi Island in East Java possesses significant potential for sustainable tourism development but faces challenges in stakeholder coordination and engagement. This study investigates the strategic application of the Pentahelix model, which integrates the roles of government, academia, businesses, local communities, and media, in shaping the island’s tourism strategy. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews, and stakeholder mapping to explore collaborative dynamics among the five pillars. The findings indicate that while local government efforts and academic support are evident, involvement from businesses and communities remains fragmented, and media participation in promoting the destination is limited. The adoption of the Pentahelix model has demonstrated its capacity to enhance synergy among stakeholders, provide strategic direction, and lay the foundation for inclusive and resilient tourism development. The study concludes that multi-stakeholder approaches like Pentahelix can be effectively implemented in emerging tourism destinations, provided that communication, capacity building, and coordination mechanisms are strengthened to achieve long-term sustainability.
