Pariwisata diposisikan sebagai salah satu sektor andalan dalam pembangunan nasional Indonesia. Pariwisata diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi besar terhadap peningkatan devisa negara dalam upaya pemerintah mewujudkan kesejahteraan dan kemakmuran rakyat. Danau Asmara merupakan salah satu obyek wisata potensial Kabupaten Flores Timur yang masuk dalam Sub Satuan Wilayah Pengembangan Kecamatan Tanjung Bunga. Potensi yang dimiliki belum dikelola dengan maksimal karena terkendala dana pembangunan, manajemen pengelolaan wisata, dan sumber daya manusia yang mengelola. Peningkatan pengelolaan dan kinerja pariwisata dapat direalisasikan melalui kelembagaan wisata yang baik. Kelembagaan dalam konteks pariwisata merupakan komponen penting dalam menunjang keberhasilan pariwisata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan alternatif kelembagaan dalam pengelolaan Obyek Wisata Alam Danau Asmara di Kabupaten Flores Timur. Penelitian dimulai dengan observasi komponen pariwisata (atraksi, amenitas, dan aksesibilitas) dan wawancara mendalam (in-depth interview) bersama wisatawan dan para pemangku kepentingan. Teknik accidental sampling digunakan untuk mewawancarai wisatawan, sedangkan teknik purposive sampling untuk mewawancarai pemangku kepentingan. Hasil observasi, wawancara, dan studi pustaka akan dijadikan bahan dalam focus group discussion untuk mengetahui arah pengembangan wisata, potensi pemangku kepentingan, dan menyepakati struktur kelembagaan dalam pengelolaan Obyek Wisata Alam Danau Asmara.
