ABSTRACT
Public–Private Partnership (PPP) in public administration studies is important in providing services to the public (public services), because PPP as a study in public administration can provide quality, effectiveness and efficiency in providing public services. The involvement of the private sector in public service affairs is because the private sector is considered to have better resource capacity, and for the public sector it can reduce responsibilities/burdens, as well as the efficiency of resources and costs/budget. One of the models used is the Life Cycle Contract (LCC) model to provide continuous cooperation contracts. This research method uses a qualitative approach to explain the LCC model in public–private cooperation in tourism development. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation study. Data processing and analysis techniques are carried out in three stages, namely: data reduction, presentation and conclusion drawing. The informants in this study were as follows: (a) the Department of Culture and Tourism, Kab. North Toraja; (b) Owner/Manager of Ke’te Kesu’ and Lempe Negeri Diatas Awan; (c) Visitors. The results show that the LCC model in the cooperation agreement (MOU) between the private sector and the government shows the private sector to be the initiator in the development of tourist objects and carries out development starting from design, development, finance, and maintenance in the early stages before any collaboration with the government. After the cooperation agreement was signed, the government began to contribute by providing facilities and infrastructure assistance in managing tourist attractions. In addition, this collaboration is for the government to collect ticket retribution from tourist objects with a share of 40% for the government and 60% for the private sector or managers.
