Siosar is a tourist area that has natural potential, agro-tourism, and others that must be developed properly. Each stakeholder plays its role, but has not given optimal results, there are still imbalances in roles and the obstacles faced indicate that stakeholders have not fully played their roles, both the roles of the government, the private sector and the community. The role of stakeholders is not yet optimal because there is no cooperation and communication that is well established. The local government should have collaborated with the private sector and the community to make efforts in developing tourism, so that tourism development in the Siosar tourism area can be more optimal and significant.
