Tourism development is always linked to sustainable development, which is associated with the global framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The objective of this study is to determine the characteristics of integrated and synergistic tourism policy connectivity strategies between various policies and programs of the actors. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. The implementation of tourism policies in the regions has not been able to create policy connectivity. Local governments have not been able to align and synchronize their tourism sector development plans with central government policies and policies in other sectors. Regional tourism policies have not been fully integrated and synchronized between the tourism, environmental, and community empowerment sectors. Although there is a Regional Tourism Development Master Plan document, its implementation has not fully reached coastal villages. Coordination between technical agencies is also still partial.
