Pari Island is a tourism area and the number of tourists has increased each year. It decreases the quality of the coastal ecosystem. However, major funding is required to maintain the quality. This study using literature review explains the value of ecosystem services and the PES scheme. The total willingness to pay, that explains the value of ecosystem services, is higher than operational budget. It indicates PES scheme can be used as an alternative way to cover operational cost. The PES scheme that can be implemented on Pari Island is between local forum as ecosystem services provider and tourists of Pari Island as user. This research contributes to the development of PES to protect the coastal ecosystem of Pari Island. This study also informs the importance of beach for Pari Island and the great negative economic impact if the beach is damage.
