The development of the tourism industry has led the government to implement the concept of sustainable tourism. To assist the implementation of sustainable tourism, it is important to know the sustainability status of tourist destinations. The measuring tools used for calculated sustainability index values and identification of sensitive indicators. The method used must be easy to use and provide accurate results. This study compares between the rap-tourism and the multi attribute aggregation method. The aim is to choose which method better in measuring sustainability status when the objects of measurement are a lot of tourist destinations, better means easy to use and represent indicators condition briefly. The results of the assessment using both methods obtain the same sustainability status but there are differences in the sustainability index value. These two methods also use different approaches in determining sensitive indicators that should be improved to increase the sustainability index of tourist destinations.
