Abstract

Objective: The phenomenon of Nomadic Tourism, driven by the global existence of digital nomads, requires a dynamic and adaptive international tourism management framework. However, current Indonesian legal instruments still exhibit structural rigidity and regulatory gaps in accommodating these developments. This study analyzes the normative-structural configuration of Indonesian law in Nomadic Tourism management, evaluates its philosophical, sociological, and juridical foundations, and formulates an appropriate legal reconstruction model. Method: This research utilizes normative legal research methods with structural, statutory, and conceptual approaches. Results: The results reveal a vertical mismatch between the constitutional mandate in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and regulations across various sectoral legislative acts. Furthermore, a regulatory gap exists between Law No. 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism and Law No. 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration, which fail to accommodate the hybrid characteristics of digital nomads who combine tourist activities with remote work. Novelty: This study recommends a comprehensive reconstruction of legal norms through the establishment of specific regulations regarding a Nomadic Tourism Visa and the expansion of tourism business criteria. This will ensure legal certainty, increase state revenues, and support digital economy development while safeguarding sovereignty, national security, and the interests of the Indonesian people.
