The focus of recent studies has been on sustainable tourism development, which is considered a crucial factor for economic growth. The current study investigates the effects of community participation, government support, and private sector involvement on the development of sustainable tourism in Indonesia. The study also explores the impact of collaborative governance on the relationship between community participation, government support, private sector involvement, and sustainable tourism development in Indonesia. The study collected data from tourists by conducting surveys at popular tourist destinations in Indonesia. The article also used smart-PLS to investigate the connections between variables. The findings demonstrated a positive correlation between sustainable tourism development in Indonesia and community participation, government support, and private sector involvement. The results also indicate that collaborative governance plays a significant role in moderating the relationship between community participation, government support, private sector involvement, and sustainable tourism development in Indonesia. The study offers valuable insights for policymakers to develop policies that promote sustainable tourism. It emphasises the importance of community participation, government support, and private sector involvement in achieving this goal.
