Although there is a substantial increase in community welfare, other two aspects of sustainability: socio-culture and environment have risen severe issues and challenges. Using the elements of sustainability through case studies of several island management in Indonesia, this paper critically reviews the impact of tourism on Gili Trawangan. The concepts of three elements of sustainability and the tree analogy, become the main key concept of this article.
