This paper shows how tourism can contribute to alleviating poverty in Indonesia, where although the poverty rate has decreased to 13.3% recently, two-thirds of the population remains in the rural agricultural sector. Its results show that the expansion of hotels and restaurants improves income significantly among the poor. This can be found when we focus on induced indirect income. There are many related industries, including agriculture, that provide materials and services to support tourism. Therefore, the expansion of tourism increases output, and then income. This income is captured by the embodied income coefficient, showing induced income embodied in final demand such as tourism consumption. Input-output analysis makes it easier to obtain the coefficient than the usual life-cycle assessment. Ordinary input-output analysis, however, cannot show this indirect income because it does not use the coefficient. Therefore, when applying the traditional method, tourism's capabilities of resolving poverty tend to be underestimated.
