Lampung Province Spatial Planning Convergence to Labor Absorption

Abstract

The choice of Bali as the location for the G20 Summit is inseparable from its reputation and experience in organizing international events, which cannot simply be separated from the tourism aspect. On the other hand, Lampung has not been chosen as one of the locations for a series of activities for the G20 Presidency, which is certainly a big question mark, considering its strategic location at the tip of Sumatra Island, the spread of various tourist objects. This article focuses on the discussion of how the spatial planning convergence of the Lampung tourism sector affects employment. This study uses a normative approach and comparative-descriptive analysis. This article concludes that the tourism industry cannot be an economic sector with a single identity because tourism has a multidisciplinary character, so the spatial planning policy directions for Lampung Province, especially in the tourism sector, need to be adapted to the multidisciplinary character of tourism, namely by involving many parties including the private sector, banking, and especially Forkopimda Lampung Province.
