The number of tourism facility compared to other facilities that are not related to the tourist sector. In such conditions, the community in the village of Tibubebeng that initially active in the agriculture sector switched to the industrial sector and tourism services. In some places, local community business is emerging in the food provision and consumption of tourists.

Thirdly, local facilities have begun to be entered into or replaced with international facilities. At this stage, various imported goods and services became mandatory, including foreign workers, to support the rapid development of tourism. One of the evidence that tourism in Berawa Beach is already in this phase is the public facilities that are locally-based and are widely replaced with international facilities, including schools or international institutions, as well as international-made attractions such as Canggu Club, Finns Beach Club and Sports Centre.

Fourth, local attractions and marketing systems began to be developed as international models. In this phase, tourism organizations begin to build strong relationships with local and central governments in promoting objects. Thus, foreign investors are interested in choosing an investment destination. At this stage, many attractions in the Berawa Beach Region are created with the perspective of international needs such as Surfing, Horse Riding, Water Boom, Berawa Beach Festival, Barong Dance, Manggala Music Festival and Culinary Festival.
