Abstract

Karimunjawa National Park has the potential to become a major tourism attraction in Central Java. There are numerous potentials for tourism business development in the buffer zone community of Karimunjawa Marine National Park. The point of this study is to examine the obstacles to women entrepreneurship and the potential for women's empowerment in the buffer zone of Karimunjawa Marine National Park. Qualitative data were gathered via in-depth interviews and focus groups with women entrepreneur operating in the homestay, restaurant, and souvenir businesses. This study discovered that women gain significantly from their involvement in the tourism business in the Karimunjawa National Park's buffer zone. They gain access to cash income, personal skills, and confidence, to name a few benefits. This advantage also affects their participation in family decision-making. This study emphasizes the importance of capacity-building programs aimed at increasing women's participation in the tourism business in the Karimunjawa National Park buffer zone community, as well as programs aimed at increasing family and community support for women entrepreneurs in the tourism business.
