Indonesia as one of the countries that have a wealth of natural and cultural extraordinary, also enjoy this benefit. However, tourism is also often regarded as one of the biggest contributors to damage to the environment and society, especially through the development of supporting infrastructure. Pariaman, as one of tourism destination cities in West Sumatra, faces symptoms of shifted cultural values as well as social and environmental wisdom. Ecotourism, then viewed as one alternative policy that can be used as a solution to this problem. Using a qualitative approach, this study was conducted with the aim of formulating a sustainable ecotourism model based on cultural values, social and environmental wisdom that will support the success of tourism development in Pariaman. With the formulation of a policy model, it is expected the model can serve as a guide for the government in developing national policies in the field of sustainable tourism in particular and supporting economic independence in the region.
