It shows that: (1) value orientation is a direct predictor of ecotourism satisfaction; (2) tourists' demands for the development of Gili Matra Marine Park are generally lower than that of local residents; (3) local residents' demands for future development are raised according to their professional needs or living needs; (4) the heterogeneity of resource development demands leads to the existence of conflicts. In order to promote the sustainable development of ecotourism in Gili Matra Marine Park, on the one hand, it is necessary to strictly follow the benefit distribution mechanism; on the other hand, it is also desirable to cultivate ecological value orientation. • Value orientation is a direct predictor of island ecotourism satisfaction. • Tourists' demands for the development are generally lower than that of locals. • The demands for resource development are related to career needs or life needs. • The heterogeneity of resource development demands leads to the existence of conflicts.
