Introduction The development of tourism in Indonesia cannot be separated from the role of the government and society who continuously collaborate in tourism development to support the sustainability and welfare of society (Purnamawati, 2.
Tourism, which has long been the government's mainstay sector in increasing foreign exchange significantly, continues to change over time, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, tourism has started new trends in various sub-sectors of the industry.
An industry that is currently experiencing significant changes is the travel industry, starting from high mobility to the increasing intensity of travelers traveling to various tourist destinations, which causes the flow of mobility to become increasingly unlimited (Wardana et al.
, 2.
Tourists' desire to travel from one destination to another is motivated by various factors such as nature, culture and activities that give them experience in improving their self-image and new knowledge regarding the destinations they have previously visited.
Travel conditions after the Covid-19 pandemic in various regions have indirectly led to naturebased travel and those related to human activities such as tree planting, conservation and crafts which are increasingly being sought after by travelers from various circles.

destinations are also increasingly appearing, which of course has a good impact on improving facilities and infrastructure in an area (Corlett et al.

This has become a habit for tourists when visiting a tourist destination where the community is the provider of tourism products and tourists are the consumers (Cudai et al.
, 2.
South Sulawesi as one of the tourist destinations in Indonesia has a strategic position that is able to attract domestic and foreign tourist visits with easy accessibility both by air and sea, plus the development of public facilities and infrastructure is increasingly being updated, especially in the Makassar City area which has long been known by the nickname Water Front City (Sivertsen, 2.
Apart from Makassar City, one of the regencies which also plays a role in improving the economy of South Sulawesi and has a strategic position is Takalar Regency which is currently also acting as a buffer for the economy in South Sulawesi.
Takalar Regency, with its agricultural sector combined with maritime, has great potential to continue to be developed, especially the potential for marine tourism which has long been the mainstay of the government in Takalar Regency.
In general, the majority of the people who live in Takalar Regency work as fishermen so that Takalar is well known in various regions as a fish auction center that supplies fish consumption needs in various surrounding areas such as Makassar City.

Apart from being a district with good fisheries potential.
Takalar Regency also has tourism potential which can become a mainstay after fisheries.
The beauty of the coastline and the local wisdom of the people are attractions that can attract tourist visits, especially beach tourist attractions such as.

beaches has a beauty that is able to provide a travel experience for tourists who come from various regions in South Sulawesi.
Where tourists usually spend time relaxing while enjoying a variety of food and drinks sold by local traders.
These traders usually live not far from the coast or are coastal communities, namely those who live in areas between land and sea who continuously utilize the wealth of natural resources as their livelihood.
Coastal communities in Takalar Regency have long worked as fishermen who carry out work activities related to the sea for a long time so that these communities are completely dependent on the natural conditions and conditions in the ocean.
When the weather conditions are bad, the fishermen's work activities also stop.
On the other hand, the tourism sector is also a hope for coastal communities around tourist attractions as a source of income to improve their standard of living and welfare in addition to the natural riches in the ocean.
They consider abundant wealth as an opportunity to fulfill pending needs without setting aside the income earned for urgent needs (Wunder et al.
, 2.
In fact, these urgent needs, such as fuel and damaged fishing equipment, are often present while they have no savings or income other than fishing activities.
This phenomenon has been going on for a long time, meanwhile the tourism sector in Takalar Regency is actually a tourist attraction related to maritime affairs, so there is a gap in coastal communities regarding income through businesses in the tourism sector where they have quite a strategic role in tourism businesses.
