Abstract
Mountaineering tourism in Mount Rinjani National Park has various potential natural hazards and requires improved mitigation to ensure tourism security and sustainability. The purpose of this research is to identify the perceptions of tourism actors on the tourism hazards, inventory the types of tourism hazards that occur and mitigate the hazards that have been carried out, and develop tourism hazard mitigation. The methods used in this research are interviews, field observations, and literature studies. Public perceptions of the mountaineering tourism hazard are included in the good category, which means people already know and understand the type and risk of hazard tourism. The types of tourism hazards that have occurred are earthquakes, landslides, volcanic activity, fires, ravines, slippery ravines, cold temperatures, fog, wildlife, and plant hazard. The mitigation that has been carried out consists of mitigation before the hazard event and after the hazard event. Mitigation efforts are divided into regulations, facilities and infrastructure, education, and awareness programs. It is necessary to improve mitigation through addition and improvement of climbing procedures and hazard management procedures, improvement of hiking hazard maps, improvement quality of facilities to minimize damage, making secure infrastructure as a means of warning, security, and emergency response, and socialization/education-related hazard mitigation and how to deal with it.

Summary
Mount Rinjani is one of the famous tourist destinations in West Nusa Tenggara and is located within the Mount Rinjani National Park area. Readiness to face danger is related to guaranteeing the safety factor for tourists and is directly proportional to the positive image of the tourist area (Suharto, 2016). Such preparedness can be carried out in the form of mitigation that is preceded by the identification of hazards and hazard perception (Bjonnes, 1986). Mitigation that has been developed in the Mount Rinjani National Park area is mitigating the danger of volcanic activity of Mount Barujari volcanoes and is carried out by BPBD and PVMBG (BPBD NTB 2015 and PVMBG 2014). The readiness of Mount Rinjani National Park as a tourist area to deal with hazards needs to be improved to ensure tourism sustainability (De Samaurez, 2007). Mitigation is needed to prepare the tourism community to be able to face the danger. 1.1 Research Purposes This study aims to design mitigation of tourism hazards in Rinjani with stages: 1) Identify the perception of the tourism community towards the dangers of tourism 2) Inventory types of tourism hazards that occur and mitigation of hazards that have been done 3) Designing mitigation of tourist hazards 1.2 Research Contribution This research is expected to provide information and recommendations on tourism actors and various stakeholders in mitigation actions that can be carried out on Rinjani climbing tours
