Summary
Kepariwisataan berkembang dengan dinamis sejak awal kemunculannya. Berbagai macam tren wisata telah banyak bermunculan dan memenuhi motivasi wisatawan yang beragam. Kepariwisataan yang terus bergerak dinamis juga sejalan dengan perubahan dalam kehidupan sosial budaya masyarakat lokal yang menjadi tuan rumah. Tren ini muncul karena motivasi wisatawan yang mulai berubah seiring dengan perkembangan pariwisata masal yang sangat massif melalui komersialisasi dan komodifikasi. Potensi wisata di desa ini terdiri dari potensi wisata alam dan budaya seperti desa adat, sumber air panas alami atau gunung. Kehidupan masyarakat di desa adat yang relatif masih tradisional dan keunikan bentang alam seperti sumber air panas dapat menjadi alternatif bagi wisatawan yang jenuh dengan suasana perkotaan atau wisata-wisata konvensional. Apalagi tren wisata saat ini yang cenderung mengarah kepada ekowisata merupakan peluang yang harus dimanfaatkan dengan memanfaatkan dan mengembangkan semua potensi-potensi yang ada. Selain itu kesiapan masyarakat Desa Rendu Tut5utbadha juga menjadi hal yang penting untuk ditekiti agar bisa melihat sejauh mana masyarakat siap unyuk mengembangkan ekowisata
