Besides that, Mount Merbabu National Park has problems regarding invasive alien species, one of which is the Acacia plant (Accacia decurrens) which also grows on the Thekelan hiking trail. Therefore, this study aims to determine the spatial distribution of invasive plants in the Mount Merbabu National Park area located in the Kopeng Resort area. The data collection method used in this study was using GPS’s survey where if you find an acacia plant, you will mark it or dots so that later the output will be a kml file which can be processed in the ArcGIS software. The data processing method uses Arcgis software so that it is in the form of a map, and the height of the acacia plant points will be known. The results showed that the distribution of acacia plants in the area around the climbing route of Mount Merbabu Thekelan was classified as very dense at an altitude of 1,847 masl to 2,153 masl with moderate to steep slopes. Whereas at altitudes ranging from 2,153 to the peak, which has very steep slopes, the density of acacia decreases. 153 meters above sea level with moderate to steep slopes.

This tour is part of the Kopeng Resort which is in the Mount Merbabu National Park area which has been extensively developed. However, good tourism is tourism that can boost the economy, have benefits for the community, and maintain the environment. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out the appropriate strategies to do so that Kalipasang tourism can be optimal as a sustainable ecotourism. The data collection method was carried out by means of field observations and interviews. The data processing method uses an analysis of the basic principles of ecotourism, IFAS and EFAS, SWOT, and sustainable ecotourism modelling. The results of this study indicate that the strategy for developing Kalipasang tourism as a sustainable ecotourism can be seen in 3 aspects, namely economic, social and environmental. From an economic aspect, it is necessary to improve facilities, carry out promotions, and make ticket prices competitive. Meanwhile, from a social aspect, it is necessary to have community participation in tourism development, efforts to educate tourists, and involve stakeholders. Meanwhile, in terms of environmental aspects, efforts to conserve plants or animals and good waste management are needed. With the combination of these three aspects, Kalipasang tourism as sustainable ecotourism can be developed.
