This article discusses the socio-economic development of coastal communities based on ecotourism in Tapulaga Village, Soropia District, Konawe Regency. Maritime ecotourism has an important role in sustainable development by allowing the utilization of the economic potential of marine resources without damaging the environment. In addition, ecotourism can also support the preservation of biodiversity. This research uses a qualitative approach to describe and analyze the social reality of ecotourism development in Tapulaga Village. The results showed that maritime ecotourism has the potential to improve the economic welfare of local communities through involvement in the ecotourism industry, the creation of new jobs, and increased income. This not only reduces pressure on marine resources but also creates opportunities for inclusive economic development in coastal areas. Thus it can be concluded that the development of maritime ecotourism in Tapulaga Village has an important role in improving the welfare of coastal communities while supporting the preservation of the environment and natural resources. This article is expected to provide valuable insights into the potential of ecotourism as a sustainable development strategy in coastal areas.Coastal Communities
