Bulukumba Regency as one of the areas that has marine tourism destinations visited by many tourists throughout the year is also affected by the Covid 19 Pandemic, due to the decline in tourist visits causing the tourism sector in this area to experience paralysis which results in a decrease in the welfare income of the marine tourism management community there, because almost all existing tourism businesses cannot operate optimally due to declining tourist visits. For this reason, in the post-pandemic period like today, efforts are needed that can restore the economy of the community, especially those around marine tourism destinations in Bulukumba Regency. These efforts include utilizing the houses of residents who have the potential to be used as homestays as lodging facilities for tourists who need accommodation facilities. For this reason, through this study, researchers intend to study further about Homestay Business Development as an Effort for Economic Recovery After the Covid 19 Pandemic for Marine Tourism Management Communities, especially in Bulukumba Regency.
