Purpose: The purpose of this research is to find out the existence of tourist villages that have not experienced development like other tourist village destinations that have experienced a lot of progress.
Theoretical reference: Development of integrated tourist village destinations needs to be carried out through collaboration, with strong regional policies through cooperative strategies with various parties. Then the importance of collaboration is applied because according to Thomson from Wood and Gray (1991, 218): Collaboration means autonomous parties interacting through negotiations both formally and informally.
Method: The type of research used in this research is a research method with a qualitative approach involving philosophical assumptions, applying a qualitative approach by collecting and analyzing various types of data, also involving collective functions so that the power of studying collectively is greater. and deeper (Creswell, 2013 :5)
Results and Conclusions: The government needs to provide facilities and infrastructure that can support the achievement of safe, comfortable and healthy tourist village destinations. The development of eight tourism elements in tourist villages is quite varied and has not been packaged well. Kahayya Village has not developed like other tourist villages, because so far only the government has contributed to its development, access to land transportation is also limited, namely winding roads up hills that are not suitable for two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. Collaboration with various parties is needed so that the potential of this tourist village can be recognized, developed and attracted by visitors. The requirements to become a tourist village worth visiting are like three villages that have eight tourism elements that could be a model. To develop a tourist village into a leading destination requires a fairly large budget.
Research implications: The government needs to continue to provide professional guidance and management to increase the number of visits to tourist villages, by improving eight elements starting from: attractions, accessibility, amenities, accommodation, additional services (supporting facilities), supporting policies, and the government facilitating implementation regional regulations in strategic planning priorities and multi-party collaboration.
Originality/Value: The tourist village destinations, namely Kahayya, Darubiah, Bontobahari, and Tanatoa all have potential with various types of interesting tourism ranging from the natural beauty of mountains, beaches, waterfall bathing, Pinishi Boat making rituals, and preserving traditional Ammatoa culture. Villages that have not yet experienced development require strong collaboration between various parties ranging from government officials, business actors, academics, society, media, to tourists so that they can work together to support the implementation of tourist villages that are worth visiting and meet the safety and comfort criteria of tourists.
