This study was analyzed using social system theory and using the concept of organizational communication patterns and sustainable tourism. The results of this study indicate that organizational communication patterns that occur in Giriloyo Batik Tourism Village in developing sustainable tourism are patterns of upward communication, downward communication, and horizontal communication. This tourist village is one of the tourist villages that inherited batik crafts since the 17th century, so the role of the manager here is very large in maintaining the sustainability of tourist villages to date. In addition to internal management, the village tourism also establishes upward communication with parties outside the organization, such as the government, starting from the district, provincial, to the ministry level. Communication with stakeholders is also intertwined with upward communication patterns. Maintaining communication with all these elements is an important key in developing sustainable tourism in the Giriloyo Batik Tourism Village.
