Women’s empowerment is a strategic way to increase women’s potential and their role in both public and domestic domains, carried out to achieve a better quality of life and equality between men and women. A problem faced in tourism development in the city of Denpasar, Bali is the limited roles available for women from a socio-cultural aspect. This research aims to analyze tourism development based on gender equality in Denpasar City and the obstacles it faces. It uses a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through documents, interviews, and observations, and determining informants using the snowball technique. Results indicate that tourism development in Denpasar City does not show maximum gender equality. While from the awareness dimension it shows women’s involvement, but looking at women’s capacity, power in decision making, and supervision, it is less than optimal due to social and cultural obstacles. Furthermore, equality has been maximized at the transformation of action aspect thanks to support from the government. One of the obstacles faced are the parts of customary law which indicate that decision-making it is the arena of men. We recommend the continual socializing of gender equality in the tourism sector, holding leadership and skills trainings for skills specifically for women in the tourism sector, and increasing campaigns on gender equality in the tourism sector.
