Ecotourism, aimed at appreciating and preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems while providing economic and social benefits to local communities, faces complexity in management, requiring careful consideration to balance economic, social, and environmental aspects.Decision-making in ecotourism management involves various stakeholders, including government, NGOs, industry players, and local communities.CMC Tiga Warna in Indonesia is a highly potential ecotourism destination but poses challenges in environmental sustainability while meeting the economic and social needs of the local community.Thus, developing a decision support system (DSS) for sustainable community-based ecotourism management becomes crucial.This study aims to develop and implement a DSS based on priority actions, considering biodiversity, local community welfare, environmental and financial sustainability.Utilizing a community-based approach, the study engages local stakeholders and analyzes priority management actions across eight dimensions.Multi-criteria techniques like PROMETHEE will determine the best management actions to address challenges and opportunities for sustainable ecotourism management.The research contributes to sustainable management strategies for ecotourism in CMC Tiga Warna and provides a foundation for similar DSS development in other ecotourism contexts.It underscores the importance of holistic and sustainable ecotourism management for achieving economic development while conserving the environment, serving as a model for creating sustainable ecotourism environments worldwide.
