The development of tourism may harm the environment, therefore, tourism development must be based on sustainability. Ecotourism is a form of sustainable tourism to preserve and contribute to nature. Ecotourism can be seen from three points of view, namely product, market, and method. It means ecotourism offers an educational and conservation tourist attraction, as well as a tool for preserving ecological and cultural sustainability. Ecotourism provides a balance to the environment, tourism, and the local community. The local community will be given benefits from the development of ecotourism. Thus, the participation of the local community is needed in its development. The term community-based ecotourism should be applied to ensure that members of the local community have a high level of control over the activities that occur and obtain the most benefits. The benefits of ecotourism for the local community are from the aspects of economy, environment, and socio-cultural. All of the benefits will help the local community to improve their well-being
