The heavy area of long hair ulun danu bratan is located in the village of Candikuning, Tabanan. It is sustainable for development as a spiritual tourist attraction because it is situated in a cool lake area and is one of the nine kahyangan jagat that surround Bali, making it one of the important temples for people's lives. This research seeks to determine how tourism with spiritual nuances helps accelerate the welfare of the people in the region. This study identifies, assesses, and synthesises research findings and concepts that have been produced in the form of exploratory narratives using methodical, explicit, and descriptive analysis techniques. According to the study's findings, spiritual tourism is a new trend in the growth of high-quality travel since it may help organise sociocultural life with varied originality as a means of boosting local revenue, generating employment, and attempting to raise community standards of living. This is a fantastic chance for the area to prioritise tourism with a spiritual focus in order to accelerate its economic growth in a sustainable way.
