assess and examine government agro-tourism legislation and policies in Indonesia. The study is qualitative in

nature, evaluating and analysing ten government's agro-tourism legislation and policies, with data collected

through document analysis and in-depth interviews and analysed descriptively. The findings demonstrate that

the government's agro-tourism regulations include controlling cross-sectoral collaboration in agro-tourism

development, certification for agro-tourism guides, the establishment of agro-tourism commissions, and agro-

horticulture business arrangements, among other things. Regulations and policies are ineffectual because there

is a lack of engagement, coordination, and synergy among the parties involved in agro-tourism. Collaboration is

required not just in terms of bureaucracy, but also in terms of resources in order to establish, promote, and

maintain agro-tourism sustainability. The suggestions and limitations of the current study are also discussed.
