Research This analysis in a way critical role infrastructure economy transportation, digital connectivity, and utilities base as a factor determinant main in development Aceh tourism. Using a mixed-methods approach that includes analysis of secondary data, regression, infrastructure gap mapping GIS-based, and in-depth interviews with 25 stakeholders, research reveals existence strong correlation​ between the quality of infrastructure and with number of tourist visits and investment. The results show that inequality in infrastructure inter-regional ( urban vs rural/coastal) becomes an inhibitor in the optimization potential of Aceh tourism. Simulation economy shows that strategic settlement projects strategic such as the Banda Aceh- Sigli - Bireuen Toll Road, and improvements to Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport (SIM) capacity can increase GRDP by 1.5–2.1% per year. Research concludes with a framework-based strategic proof for accelerated development of infrastructure through a PPP scheme, coordination of multisectoral, and integration with strengthening local human resources and MSMEs.
