A model of development of integration of agriculture and tourism is required to avoid further unbalance the development of tourism and agriculture. The objective of this study was to identify and study about utilization of genetic resources of local fruits in order to improve agricultural and tourism integration. The research was conducted from March to December 2015 throughout regency in Bali, using surveys method to identify the species and sub-species of local fruits, its utilization, harvest time, and superior fruits of each regency.

The results showed that there were 41 species with 149 sub-species of local fruits have been identified. Availability of local fruits was generally still seasonally, the harvest season dominant from December to March. Fruits were used for local consumption, commodity exports, inter-island trade, and material for rituals and culture and for tourism market. Utilization of local fruit for tourism was still limited, i.e for fresh fruit consumption (snake fruit, wani, banana, mango, orange, papaya, water melon, melon and mangosteen), for juice (passion fruit, manggo, melon, water melon, guava, strawberry, wani); raw material for wine (snake fruit, grape), raw material for massage/Spa (lemon, pineapple, avocado, papaya, strawberry, star fruit), and for agrotourism object (strawberry, snake fruit, orange and mangosteen).
