Host communities also need to be aware that tourism is likely to cause a wide range of impacts. Design/methodology/approach: This study used qualitative methods supported by quantitative data through Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) analysis. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, document studies, and focus group discussion. Findings: This study contributes a concise analysis of the various impacts, due to the growth of tourism, on the local community living within the World Cultural Heritage, such as increased in income, changes in personal relationships, modernization of agriculture, and the readiness of the society to move into social organizations. Increasing the number of tourism jobs while simultaneously maintaining World Cultural Heritage properties were significant challenges faced by Operations Management of Jatiluwih Tourist Attraction.
