Ecotourism development is an approach to community empowerment as the main actor. Its activities include utilizing and managing the potential of existing resources to improve the welfare of the community. Ecotourism is concerned with long-term tourism development [1]. The participation of local communities will get many opportunities in development activities, thus giving power to the community as social actors and not passive subjects to manage resources so that they will make decisions and exercise control over activities that affect their lives according to their abilities. Local residents should be given hospitality management training so that they can better serve tourists. One of the main issues in tourism consumption, is the authenticity of creative experiences that can stimulate creativity [2]. Conducive environmental and community conditions can increase the interest of tourists to visit. Ultimately this community-based product and experience development process must be designed to ensure that the community benefits directly from the impact of tourism visits.

Indicators in the Social sector  include:  Involving  the  community  in initiating all aspects of development, and community pride, as well as developing the quality of life. Several important criteria for community-based tourism in general can be defined.

It was initiated by the local community who had to participate and support tourism activities. Second, the results of community-based tourism must provide economic benefits, especially for the local community. Third, activities from tourism can protect, support culture, traditions, ways of life and natural resources in the community. The business model of the organization can be applied in the context of community-based tourism. The long-term success of tourism is mainly in the vision and joint initiatives of the local community with a strong integration of the leaders, so that the local community can participate in tourism activities [3]. Ecotourism is an economic activity that is very vital in providing tourists with opportunities to experience nature and culture to know the importance of biodiversity conservation. Ecotourism also provides a large enough income for conservation activities so that ecotourism should be a potential tool to improve the nature and behavior of local communities [4,5,6].

• Transportation, the existence of public transportation, for example the existence of a bus terminal, security system

• passengers regarding the travel information system, the certainty of the fare amount to the tourist attraction

• Infrastructure, for example the availability of road facilities and if possible also the availability of river or other facilities, irrigation, communication networks, health facilities, electricity and energy sources, waste/garbage/dung/water disposal management systems and security systems

• Hospitality, community hospitality both in the localization and business actors because this will be a reflection of the success of a good tourism system
