Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this study is to map and identify the planning of watuhadang tourism villages in Umalulu district, East Sumba Regency using a community-based tourism approach. In addition, researchers will map whether village resources are able to become the capital for the realization of ons stop services tourism in the village. In the community-based tourism approach, researchers also explained multi-stakeholder involvement because the concept of sustainable pariwiasta development can never run respectively and through the pentahelix concept in tourism synergy, including financiers or investors, governments, academics, community communities, and the media. The involvement of mutipihak will intervene to strengthen the 3 pillars. 1) pillars of strengthening human resources; 2) Pillars of institutional strengthening; 3) pillars of infrastructure strengthening. The method used with a qualitative approach is specifically the phenomenological method. The data collection was completed with four instruments including interviews, FGDs, obervations, and literature studies. Observations were made by observing various tourism potential resources and various indigenous activities in the field.interviews were conducted using the participant method. The FGD is carried out by involving several elements such as village officials, academics, and local entrepreneurs. The findings of the study show that local governments do not have an ideal concept to develop these resources. The pattern of development is still carried out traditionally without involving the private sector and the community. Local communities are only used as objects of tourism activities and their existence is not so clearly involved. As a result, tourism in watuhadang does not have a development direction. Strengthening human resources, namely the need to involve NGOs with assistance to the community to strengthen the skill capacity of community members. Strengthening infrastructure, namely the need to carry out a master plan for village infrastructure development that supports the implementation of one stop service tourism.
