Tri Hita Karana Implementation Model in Sustainable Tourist Lodge Management

The rapid development of the tourism sector, particularly in culturally based destinations like Bali, has had a positive impact on the local economy but has also given rise to various social, cultural, and environmental problems. This study aims to identify the level of implementation of the Tri Hita Karana principles in the management of tourist cottages. The research was designed using a qualitative research approach with a case study method. Data collection methods included documentation, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), interviews, and observations. Data analysis was conducted using a qualitative approach. The results show that the implementation of the THK concept at Song Broek Tourist Lodge has aligned with Tri Hita Karana principles across the parhyangan, pawongan, and palemahan aspects. Spiritual values are integrated into managerial practices, harmonious social relationships are established through active community involvement, and environmental sustainability is maintained through responsible resource management and environmental preservation. Based on these findings, this study formulates a practical and context-specific THK implementation model for sustainable tourism lodge management. The proposed model addresses three key challenges in tourism accommodation management: suboptimal integration of local wisdom values, limited community participation, and insufficient attention to environmental sustainability. The study contributes theoretically by reinforcing Tri Hita Karana as an operational framework for sustainable tourism and practically by providing guidance for tourism lodge managers and policymakers in developing sustainable, community-oriented, and culturally grounded accommodations.
