The promotion policy of the Gam Lamo Kastela Fortress, also known as the Castle Fortress or Nostra Senora del Rosario which was established in 1522 is an initiative mandated by the Ternate City Government. This initiative is an integral part of the regional development vision known as Ternate ANDALAN (Realizing an Independent and Equitable Ternate City). This study aims to analyze the successful implementation of this cultural heritage promotion policy at the level of Ternate Island District, an area that is explicitly committed to becoming a 'Tourism District'. This analysis addresses the need to understand local policy mechanisms that successfully integrate the preservation of historical heritage into the regional economic development agenda. The gap in the implementation of cultural heritage-based policies often lies in the dissonance between top-down bureaucratic mandates and the need for bottom-up resource mobilization. This study answers this gap by dissecting the success factors that drive policy effectiveness in Ternate Island District. The research method used is qualitative descriptive analysis. The framework of analysis is guided by the four key variables of the George C.
