The researcher collected data using direct interviews with key informants and through literature review. Data analysis was conducted by gathering, managing, analyzing, presenting data, and drawing conclusions descriptively from the primary data obtained through interviews and direct documentation from the operational staff at CV.

Conclusions were drawn based on reduced data from the informants. The results of this research indicate that (1) the preparation for tourist trips conducted by CV.
