Abstract : The purpose of this research is to examine inclusive development in a multicultural society in developing tourism. The Collaborative Governance theory by Ansell and Gash (2008) was used to analyze the collaboration process of the multicultural community in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research method used was qualitative exploratory through interviews, observations, and document studies as data collection methods. The results of the study showed that the government and the community with a marginal culture have been able to establish a good relationship. The success of this collaborative governance lies not only in inclusive decision-making but also in the ability to appreciate and utilize the uniqueness of each group. By involving the Chinese community, Madurese, and students from outside Java in the tourism development process, Cokrodiningratan becomes an attractive tourist destination with a more inclusive, appreciative, and empowered society. The role of leaders from marginalized communities and open-minded government officials also supports the success of the collaboration process. This serves as a real example of how tourism can function as a tool to empower local communities, preserve cultural diversity, and support sustainable development.
