Abstract: This research aims to analyze the contribution of agrotourism to the income and economic welfare of local community households on Lombok Island, especially in the Sembalun Tourism Area, East Lombok Regency. The research uses a descriptive method with the analysis unit of local community households in the Sembalun Tourism Area. The research area includes all villages designated as tourist areas in Sembalun District, namely Sembalun Village, Sembalun Lawang Village and Sembalun Bumbung Village. The number of respondents was determined using the Slovin formula as 99 households selected by random sampling. Data was collected using structured interview methods, field observation and literature study; then analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression. The research results show that the presence of agrotourism on Lombok Island, especially in the Sembalun Tourism Area, can increased economic activities by 4.48 from 24.9%. Factors that significantly increase the income and economic welfare of local communities apart from the existence of agrotourism are the area of ​​land controlled and capital ownership; while the number of workers in the household and the education of the head of the household have no effect on household income.
