KOMPONEN PARIWISATA DAN DAYA DUKUNG KAWASAN DI PULAU LIWUNGAN

Abstract

Tanjung Lesung is one of the priority tourism destinations expected to provide a distribution of tourism activities in the Territory of the Republic of Indonesia to support the equitable distribution of community welfare, open employment, and business opportunities, while also providing solutions for tourism areas in Indonesia that have reached their carrying capacity. As a result, it is critical to assess how the state of the tourism component (attraction, accessibility, amenity), tourism carrying capacity, and visitor experience may be used as a guide for the growth of tourism in the Tanjung Lesung Area. Mixed methods or hybrid methods are used in the research. According to the findings of the tourism component condition, existing tourist sites have their attractions but are not supported by suitable access and amenities. Snorkeling, diving, seagrass tours, and beach recreation are just a few of the activities available. Apart from the difficulty in obtaining public transportation, the port conditions of Tanjung Jaya Village, which is the only community-managed access to Liwungan Island, are still worrying. Because tourism is stagnating on Liwungan Island, decent amenities are not yet available. Liwungan Island's carrying capacity still allows it to house and transport 30-80 people per visit. Based on the carrying capacity of the area, the following activities can be calculated: snorkeling, diving, seagrass tourism, and beach recreation, all of which have the potential to attract additional tourists. If there is a boom in tourist visits in the future, a tourism governance strategy can be developed for tourist destinations that are still viable, such as Kampung Wisata Cikadu. Then, based on the results of the Liwungan Island tourist experience survey, it was discovered that travelers' expectations of the experience they had while visiting Liwungan Island were not met. As a result, the researchers urge that the community's role in determining entry charges and managing Liwungan Island tourist attractions be reviewed.
