Latar Belakang: Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) berpotensi meningkat melalui sektor pariwisata. Tugas pokok Dinas Pariwisata harus dilaksanakan secara efisien mengingat potensi pariwisata di Kabupaten Aceh Selatan belum dikelola secara optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pelaksanaan tugas pokok Dinas Pariwisata Kabupaten Aceh Selatan dalam upaya meningkatkan PAD melalui pengembangan industri pariwisata di destinasi wisata Tapak Tuan Tapa dan Lhok Rukam, Kota Tapaktuan. Metodologi Penelitian: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Proses reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan digunakan untuk menganalisis data yang diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil Penelitian: Dinas Pariwisata telah melaksanakan tugas pokoknya melalui pengembangan destinasi, promosi pariwisata, pemberdayaan masyarakat, dan kerja sama dengan pemangku kepentingan. Inisiatif-inisiatif tersebut telah mendorong pertumbuhan industri pariwisata dan peningkatan PAD. Namun, pelaksanaannya masih terkendala oleh berbagai masalah, seperti kerja sama antarinstansi yang belum memadai, keterbatasan anggaran, serta kualitas infrastruktur dan sumber daya manusia yang masih rendah. Sebagai kesimpulan, tugas pokok Dinas Pariwisata telah dilaksanakan sesuai dengan kewenangannya; namun, perbaikan di bidang kelembagaan, sumber daya, dan manajemen masih diperlukan agar pengembangan pariwisata dapat berkontribusi lebih efektif terhadap PAD.

Background: Locally-Generated Revenue (PAD) could rise in the tourism industry. The Tourism Office's primary responsibilities must be carried out efficiently because South Aceh Regency's tourism potential has not been managed as well as it might. The purpose of this study is to examine how the South Aceh Regency Tourism Office's primary responsibilities are carried out in order to increase locally generated revenue through the growth of the tourism industry in Tapak Tuan Tapa and Lhok Rukam tourist destinations in Tapaktuan City. Research Methodology: This study uses a descriptive method in conjunction with a qualitative approach. The processes of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing were used to assess the data that had been gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research Findings: Through destination development, tourism promotion, community empowerment, and stakeholder cooperation, the Tourism Office has fulfilled its primary responsibilities. Both the tourism industry and locally generated revenue have grown as a result of these initiatives. Implementation is nevertheless hampered by issues like inadequate inter-agency cooperation, inadequate funding, and poor infrastructure and human resource quality. In conclusion, the Tourism Office's primary responsibilities have been carried out in compliance with its authority; however, in order for tourism development to contribute more effectively to Locally-Generated Revenue, institutional, resource, and management improvements are still needed.
