Abstract

Herpetofauna (Class: Reptilia, Amphibia) has potential value as tourist attraction and its sustainability could be preserved by ecotourism program. We propose a new fauna-based tourism attraction by conducting herpetofauna survey in a few locations inside Sukamade, Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP), and using their habitat as spots for ecotourism potential sites. Visual Encounter Survey method was conducted in 6 locations (200 m transect pathway). We found 166 individuals, belonging to 32 species in 15 families. Leptobrachium hasselti has the biggest Important Value Index (16.55%), making this species potentially become one of the potential herpetofauna as a tourist attraction. Chelonia mydas, an endangered species, is one of the interesting species to be observed in Sukamade.This species is full migrant and does long migration in its feeding ground in Borneo, Australia, and Pacific, then back to Sukamade to lay eggs. Sumbersari and Glintungan forest became a habitat for amphibians that need clean water, such as L. Hasselti and Leptophryne borbonica, and potentially become the location of herpetofauna observation. Occidozyga lima, Fejervarya limnocharis, and Limnonectes microdiscus were found in four survey sites (Sumber Langsep, Glintungan, Estuary, and Jungle Track).Keywords: Herpetofauna, Sukamade, TourismHerpetofauna (Class: Reptilia, Amphibia) has potentialvalue as tourist attraction and its sustainability could be preserved by ecotourismprogram.We propose a new fauna-based tourism attraction by conducting herpetofauna survey in a few locations inside Sukamade,Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP), and using their habitat as spots for ecotourism potential sites.

Abstract

Watulimo District, Trenggalek Regency is one of the area in East Java Province that has an abundant marine potential. However, this huge potential has not been optimally developed in a form of marine tourism. This study aims to determine internal and external factors that influence the development of marine tourism in Watulimo Subdistrict, Trenggalek, and develop a strategy of marine tourism development in a sustainable manner. This study was conducted on 4 beaches in Watulimo Subdistrict, Trenggalek Regency: Prigi, Karanggongso, Cengkrong, and Damas. Interviews were conducted by using semi-structured technique. Secondary data is obtained from government policy documents relating to tourism; tourism infrastructure facilities in the research location; data of tourist visits; geography and demographics; socio-cultural and economic data. Most respondents believe that promotion (0.083) and tourist information center (0.075) indicator are considered very important. Advances in information technology have the highest weight (0.097), where respondents can know about the state of the marine tourism area based on information and reviews. The results show the number of scores obtained from the weighting and external factor rating of 2.656 (good value range), which illustrates that the marine tourism area in Watulimo has an opportunity in its development. Cooperation with travel agents, hotels, restaurants, and tourist information centers for Trenggalek District can be incorporated into their brochures to increase traffic.Keywords: development, information, promotion, tourism, Watulimo.
