In recent years, the government and the local community have begun to pay attention to the potential of the Denai Lama Tourism Village to be developed into a more developed tourist destination. The development of the Denai Lama Tourism Village has been carried out through various efforts, such as developing tourism infrastructure, developing tourism products, as well as training and mentoring MSME actors around the tourist village. With this development, it is hoped that the Denai Lama Tourism Village can have a positive impact on the economy of the local community, especially MSME players. This study uses a qualitative method. Data collection techniques used field studies, interviews, and data sources obtained from primary and secondary data. The result of the study show that the development of the Denai Lama tourist village has a positive impact on the local community's economy. This can be seen from the increase in the number of tourists visiting Denai Lama after the development of the tourist village, thus encouraging local economic growth with an increase in income from the tourism sector.
