Abstract

Ciletuh - Palabuhanratu Geopark located in West Java Province was approved as UNESCO Global Geopark (UGG) at the Unesco Executive Board session on April 12, 2018 in Paris, France. A distinctive feature of the Ciletuh - Palabuhanratu Geopark has geological diversity, biodiversity and cultural diversity. This decision is of course an opportunity for people in the Geopark area. One of the people’s responses to the geopark is a tour guide. The purpose of this study is to study the profile and competence of tour guides. The method used is descriptive by conducting interviews and questionnaires. The results showed that mastery of material about Geopark was still low while hospitality in serving tourists was quite good. The implication is that there needs to be an increase to improve the competence of tour guides in the Ciletuh Geopark - Palabuhanratu area.
