What is it about?
The development of nature-based tourism that can be used as a way of empowering rural communities during the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be a solution to improve the economic conditions of the community. The problem is that the village does not have the same perspective in developing nature-based tourism villages. As a result of this, various problems arise in the development of natural tourism. This study aims to analyze the collaborative governance process in building tourist villages, their problems, and solutions. The research method is descriptive qualitative, with the process of collecting data through in-depth interviews, observations, and FGDs. The results showed that collaboration between stakeholders often leads to horizontal conflicts, awareness of the COVID-19 process is difficult to build in tourism development, and collaborative governance is more bureaucratic. This research can conclude that the development of nature-based tourism is a solution during the COVID-19 pandemic, but building public awareness of the importance of COVID-19 health protocols in tourism services is an obstacle. In addition, the bureaucratization of the collaboration process of governance hinders the development of natural tourism.

Why is it important?
The study of collaborative governance in tourism development is an interesting study that continues to be discussed. Tourism development does not only involve stakeholders from the government but from various parties including the private sector which develops tourism not only to bring in tourists but how tourism can be interesting and creative, as well as educational orientation and can realize mutual prosperity. Therefore, the involvement of other stakeholders such as universities as companions in tourism development is needed to plan, implement and develop tourism with certain characteristics. In this regard, the latest study in this paper emphasizes the bureaucratic process in collaborative governance. Where bureaucracy tends to hinder rather than streamline the process of developing tourist villages.
Perspectives
The study of collaborative governance continues to develop along with increasingly complex public issues. A collaborative governance approach is a form of collaboration between two government and private institutions in overcoming a public problem with a shared vision and goal of success. This means that Collaborative Governance is a public management step or procedure that involves stakeholders outside the government with the role and participation of collective decision-making or implementing public policies and programs (10). Meanwhile, (11) concluded that collaborative governance is a hierarchical process and pattern of cooperation in public affairs that ignore formal and structural organizational boundaries. The value developed is the commitment or consensus in the decision-making process in the organization’s activities in achieving its goals, in developing the organization based on collective leadership, being well organized, there is a forum as a forum for communication and cooperation between stakeholders, actively participating in decision making
