This qualitative descriptive research, which uses participatory observation and in-depth interviews, is conducted with the aim to understand, comprehend, and describe the implementation of the Tri Hita Karana principle in the pawongan aspect through one of Bali's local wisdoms, namely pang pada payu. A variety of business opportunities have grown and developed along with the rise of tourism in Bali. Apart from tourism, the high domestic sector needs to support cultural preservation have also experienced significant growth, regardless of the economic conditions. Balinese culture, as a tourism icon, in its implementation not only provides economic benefits for those in the tourism sector but also offers opportunities for businesses that play a role in meeting domestic needs.
