Abstract

Simeulue's tourism sector possesses natural advantages (world-class beaches and waves), yet its added value has not been optimally converted at the regional level, particularly within the Selaut Transmigration Area (KT Selaut). This finding provides a blueprint for tourism economics based on the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) and Pentahelix collaboration (ABCGM) to strengthen the end-to-end tourism value chain. Methods: desk review of statistical documents and policies, supplemented by planning synthesis (RIPPDA). Results: (1) Simeulue has 138 villages across 11 sub-districts, with strategic village institutional foundations but tourism capacity remains dispersed; (2) indications of the absence of star-rated accommodations and limited amenity quality hinder length of stay; (3) KT Selaut holds "Independent" status with an IPKTRANS of 66.78 (2024), making it viable as a cross-village institutional platform; (4) the local wisdom of Lembaga Adat Laot is relevant as a governance pillar for coastal resource management in marine tourism. This study proposes the Simeulue Tourism Integrated Cooperative (STIC) as an economic institutional backbone: a consortium of cross-village BUMDes cooperatives in KT Selaut, connected to the Pentahelix network (academia, business, government, community, media) for upstream–downstream (attraction, access, amenities, ancillary). Recommendations include governance architecture, revenue-sharing mechanisms, flagship product portfolios, risk mapping, and performance indicators (non-star accommodation capacity, occupancy, village revenue, decent employment). This finding provides an operational blueprint that can be directly adopted by local governments and BUMDes in transmigration areas.

Bahasa Abstract

Sektor pariwisata Simeulue memiliki keunggulan alam (pantai dan ombak kelas dunia), tetapi nilai tambahnya belum terkonversi optimal pada tingkat kawasan terutama di lingkup Kawasan Transmigrasi (KT) Selaut.     Temuan ini memberi cetak birugaan ekonomi pariwisata berbasis Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) dan kolaborasi Pentahelix (ABCGM) untuk memperkuat rantai nilai wisata secara end-to-end. Metode: desk review dokumen statistik dan kebijakan, ditambah sintesis perencanaan (RIPPDA). Hasil: (1) Simeulue memiliki 138 desa pada 11 kecamatan, basis kelembagaan desa strategis tetapi kapasitas pariwisata masih tersebar; (2) indikasi belum adanya akomodasi berbintang dan keterbatasan kualitas amenitas menghambat length of stay; (3) KT Selaut berstatus “Mandiri” dengan IPKTRANS 66,78 (2024) yang layak dijadikan platform kelembagaan lintas desa; (4) kearifan lokal Lembaga Adat Laot relevan sebagai pilar tata kelola sumberdaya pesisir bagi wisata bahari. Penelitian ini mengusulkan Simeulue Tourism Integrated Cooperative (STIC) sebagai backbone kelembagaan ekonomi: konsorsium koperasi BUMDes lintas-desa di KT Selaut, terhubung ke jejaring Pentahelix (akademia, bisnis, pemerintah, komunitas, media) untuk hulu–hilir (atraksi, akses, amenitas, ancillary). Rekomendasi meliputi arsitektur tata kelola, mekanisme bagi hasil, portofolio produk unggulan, peta risiko, dan indikator kinerja (TPK non-bintang, occupancy, pendapatan desa, pekerjaan layak). Temuan ini memberi cetak biru operasional yang bisa langsung diadopsi pemerintah daerah dan BUMDes di kawasan transmigrasi
