Summary

Introduction

Banyuwangi has a huge tourism potential ranging from natural, cultural, spiritual, agro-tourism, village tourism and historical tourism. These potentials have not yet been fully developed by the Banyuwangi District Government. This can be seen from the direction of tourism development in Banyuwangi Regency, which was developed in three groups of development areas called "The Diamond Triangle" (Bappeda, Banyuwangi Regency, 2018).
