Abstract

Situ Gede offers various ecotourism resources, such as research forests, Situ Gede Lake, natural landscapes, and diverse types of flora and fauna that attract tourists. To increase the number of visitors, these resources need to be developed effectively. As tourists visiting Situ Gede have different characteristics, motivations, and preferences, these differences must be studied to develop ecotourism in Situ Gede. The research aims to identify the motivation, preferences, and evaluations of visitors that can be used to develop ecotourism in Situ Gede. The study uses a 1-4 Likert scale, and data analysis involves descriptive methods, calculating standard deviation values, and Pearson Chi-Square analysis. The research findings indicate that the primary motivation for respondents to visit is physical. Three tourism activities are influenced by age, namely meeting friends, being with family and attending meetings, and culinary tourism. The activities around the lake that are most popular with visitors are taking selfies, enjoying the lake's beauty, and having a picnic in a natural setting. The most popular activities in the Research Forest are relaxing and enjoying the forest atmosphere, observing the variety of plants there, and taking photos with a forest background.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decline in tourist visits, significantly impacting the tourism industry, including at Samosir Regency. This region has a prominent tourism sector that is essential for both the government and the local community, with attractions such as the Sigale Gale Statute being affected. The Sigale Gale statue is a unique tourist attraction with the potential to enhance the tourism sector in Samosir Regency. This study explores the history, uniqueness, and management of the Sigale Gale Statue and analyzes the internal and external factors influencing its management to formulate an appropriate development strategy. Data on history, uniqueness, and management were obtained through in-depth interviews, while internal and external data were collected from questionnaires distributed to 200 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using SWOT Analysis with IFAS and EFAS matrices and a SWOT matrix. The analysis results indicate that the development strategy for the Sigale Gale tourism attraction falls in quadrant 4, requiring the implementation of a turn-around strategy. This strategy aims to maximize existing opportunities to mitigate weaknesses in management.
