Summary
Keindahan alam dan budaya lokal itu merupakan potensi besar untuk dikembangkan sebagai daya tarik wisata dan dikelola sebagai salah satu sumber daya ekonomi masyarakat setempat. Sementara untuk potensi sumber daya buatan (SDB) seperti potensi saujana berupa Masjid Walima Emas yang terletak di atas bukit Desa Bongo; Museum Goa dan Museum Batu; Pasar Tradisional atau Pasar Subuh; Tarian Longgo Tulaibala (seni tari bela diri); Tarian Saronde dan Tidi, biasa dipentaskan pada upacara adat pernikahan; Budaya Dikili, Dikili (dzikir dalam bahasa daerah Gorontalo) oleh masyarakat desa yang dapat dinikmati oleh wisatawan setiap malam Jumat di pondok pesantren Desa Bongo.
