Numerous factors, like political stability, physical infrastructure, basic healthcare, and so forth influence the extent and speed of social and economic development. There is no suggestion that ICT can eliminate the need for these or offer a panacea for all development problems. But detail analyses of experience around the world reveal ample evidence that, if used in the right way and for the right purposes, ICT can have a dramatic impact on achieving specific socio-economic development goals, as well as, play a key role in broader national development strategies. The real benefits lie not in the provision of technology rather in its application to create powerful socio-economic networks by drastically improving communication and the exchange of information (Vulkan, 1999). Recent developments in the fields of communications and information technology are indeed revolutionary in nature. Information and knowledge are expanding in quantity and accessibility. In many fields, future decision-makers will be presented with unprecedented new tools for development. In such fields as agriculture, health, education, human resources and environmental management, or transport and business development, the consequences could be really quite revolutionary. Communications and information technology have enormous potential, especially for developing countries, and in furthering sustainable development (Hamelink, 1997). ICTs have therefore brought about a new hope for the developing world. Many of these countries continue to labor in the agricultural age and their economic development is thus restricted and unable to move on and catch up with the developed world. Most developing nations have also been unable to industrialize their economies leading to greater impoverishment and dependence. In this context, the very prospect of “leapfrogging” the traditional stages and cycles of progress, is seen as revolutionary. Telemedicine, distance education, wireless applications, the use of the Internet for a wide variety of critical information dissemination tasks—hold the promise of overcoming fundamental barriers of infrastructure which have plagued the developing world (Mody, 1999).

Labuan Bajo is one of the tourism destinations that are prioritized in Indonesia's national development. However, the contribution of tourism in Labuan Bajo to the economy and welfare of the surrounding community is still less than optimal even though there have been many attempts to stand around the tourist area of Labuan Bajo. This study aimed to analyse the financial performance of tourism businesses in the tourist area of Labuan Bajo, which is one of the tourism destinations prioritized by the Indonesian government. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 221 respondents of tourism business actors in the tourist area of Labuan Bajo. The results of this study revealed that tourism business actors in Labuan Bajo were quite diverse in terms of tourism business permits, business scale, and business entities. Also, the growth of tourism businesses in the tourist area of Labuan Bajo was quite significant in 2017-2018. The results of the financial performance analysis showed that the income was relatively high in tourism businesses that have been operating for a long time. They were funded by bank loans, had large capital, adopted information technology, and members of certain tourism organizations. In general, the financial performance of the tourism business in Labuan Bajo has not been optimal, particularly in managing assets for profit.

Management of data and information in an institution can support national development, but some are still less effective and efficient. This study aims to determine the application of information systems to achieve Good Governance in the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning / Land Agency of Magelang City. The method used in this study was interviews with staff at the Magelang City Land Agency. The results find that the development of information technology and supporting infrastructure created opportunities to develop a more reliable, efficient, and timely computerized application for land activities (KKP) within the National Land Agency (BPN). The growing need for more accessible land information demanded by the community (policy recipients) and the government (policymakers) has increased higher than before. However, on the other hand, there are obstacles, such as the unfinished mapping of land parcels. The implication of this research is the Land Office needs to guide operators to better service quality.
