The method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews. The data from the interviews were processed using data reduction techniques so that a unit of information was obtained which could then be analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The accuracy of the data obtained was tested using a data source triangulation technique that compared the results of one informant with another. The result shows that the development of tourism has attracted foreign tourists to come and buy residential land in Watukarung Village. The price of residential land by the beach was originally around IDR 300,000/m2 increase to IDR 1,000,000 to IDR 1,500,000/m2.
