The Ministry of Tourism, through Permen number  14/2016 on Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism Destinations, emphasizes that there is need for optimal interconnection between the business, government, community, academic and media (BGCAM) sectors in building the tourism sector or more commonly known as the Penta Helix Concept so that tourism can provide benefits to society. To see the extent to which the Penta Helix concept has been applied in the development of the Cibuntu tourist village, this research was conducted. This research is a case study, the sources in this research are five peoples  who are representatives of business people, government, community, academics and the media.
