Abstract

Agro-ecotourism is one of the environmentally-based tourism development principles that aims to leverage natural resources, culture, and rural potential to create complex tourism products that support rural development. This study aims to identify the potential of agro-ecotourism in supporting the development of dadiah (fermented milk of buffalo) based on slow food tourism in Nagari Aia Dingin, West Sumatra. Nagari Aia Dingin, recognized with the intangible cultural heritage certification for its dadiah, has significant potential to be developed as a leading agro-ecotourism destination. This research employs a deductive qualitative method with the 5A approach (Attractions, Accessibility, Accommodation, Amenities, and Activities). Data collection methods include village mapping, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and FGD. The study indicates that while there are various attractions and activities, there is a lack of access, accommodation, and amenities to the site. Dadiah is one of the main attractions of slow food tourism based on its uniqueness and strong cultural values. Thus, the visitor can experience and learn how dadiah is produced and the value attached to it. To develop agro-ecotourism focusing on slow food dadiah in Nagari Aia Dingin, it is crucial to improve access, such as better road conditions, direction signs to the destination, accommodation where the local community can provide lodging and proper sanitation, and amenities through a souvenir shop, restaurant, and other supporting facilities for visitors.
