Abstract

Tourism Development is a Tourism Office program to advance tourism in Tana Toraja Regency to increase Regional Original Income by collaborating with the government sector, the private sector and the community sector. This research analyzes Collaborative Leadership in Tourism development in Tana Toraja Regency. This research uses qualitative research methods with descriptive research. Data collection techniques used in-depth interviews, observation and documentation studies. The data was analyzed using the analysis model by (Miles & Huberman, 1994) with data reduction techniques, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that Collaborative Leadership in Tourism Development in Tana Toraja Regency has not been effective, which can be seen using the Collaborative Leadership dimension (Hsieh and Liou, 2018) namely (1) Activating Resource Assistance, this is quite adequate as can be seen from the required resources having been distributed and contributed from related actors but there is still a lack of resource facilitation which is not evenly distributed. (2) Framing the Work Environment, this has not been effective because the coordination process, SOPs, communication and involvement of other actors are very inadequate. (3) Mobilizing Stakeholder Support, this is very effectiveThis can be seen from the availability of support (financial and human resources) from collaborative actors mobilized by the Tourism Office as the leader. (4) Synthesizing the collaboration process, this has not been effective as seen from the evaluation process which has not been implemented and there has been no innovation in collaboration.
