The determination of Labuan Bajo as one of the Super Priority Tourism Destinations (SPTD) by the government has implications for the increase in the number of tourist visits to West Manggarai Regency, so a strategy is needed to ensure that the growth of the tourism sector remains oriented towards sustainability. This research was conducted with an exploratory qualitative approach, with a type of phenomenological research that aims to explore traditions Lingko Lodok as a model for sustainable tourism management in West Manggarai. The results of this study found that the tradition Lingko Lodok contains strategic values that are able to ensure a balance between cultural preservation, community welfare, and environmental sustainability. Lingko Lodok, as a spatial planning system based on local wisdom, has the potential to be an effective approach and model in integrating the principle of sustainability in tourism development. Through this study, it is hoped that this model can be implemented to optimize the tourism potential of West Manggarai while maintaining local cultural values.
