Abstract

The lack of information regarding the existence of potential natural resources supporting tourism activities and the suitability and capability of resources to support the implementation of good tourism activities can be a factor that hinders the sustainability of tourism in Kurenai Beach. Beach tourism activities can make a positive contribution to economic growth and the level of community welfare. On the other side, these activities also negatively impact the sustainability of coastal resources. For this reason, it is necessary to limit the tourists according to the carrying capacity of Kurenai Beach. This research gave the initial information to support the sustainability and management of Kurenai Beach tourism, Bone Bolango Regency. This research aims to determine potential resources through regional suitability and carrying capacity. Further, it is expected that the result of this study can be used as a recommendation in preparing a tourism development policy plan for Kurenai Beach, Bone Bolango Regency. The research was conducted from March to August 2023 in Tomini Bay waters, Kurenai Beach. This is a survey and interview research. The types of data used in this research were primary and secondary. The analysis used in this research was suitability analysis and carrying capacity analysis to determine the resource potential of Kurenai Beach. The research results showed that the suitability of Kurenai Beach tourism in the beach recreation category was divided into 3 (three) suitability categories, namely very suitable (S1), suitable (S2), and not suitable (S3). The carrying capacity of the Kurenai Beach tourist area could accommodate around 33,840 people/month. Kurenai Beach has some potential resources that are very suitable for beach tourism, amounting to 15,379 m2 and the total visitors of Kurenai Beach has not exceeded the carrying capacity of the Kurenai Beach tourist area so optimizing its use and management is highly possible.Keywords:Natural resourcesSustainable tourismTomini BayBotubarani Village

Abstract

Whale shark (Rhincodon typus) tourism has emerged as a potential marine-based economic activity in several regions of Indonesia, including Botubarani Village, Gorontalo Province. However, sustainable development of this tourism depends on understanding the suitability of the area and its carrying capacity to avoid ecological disturbances. This study aims to determine the resource potential through area suitability and tourism carrying capacity analysis for whale shark tourism in the waters of Botubarani Village. Field research was conducted from May to July 2019, using both primary and secondary data obtained from field observations, transmitter–receiver monitoring, and relevant institutional reports. The suitability analysis was performed using five ecological parameters—frequency and duration of appearance, water transparency, visibility, and current velocity, while the tourism carrying capacity was calculated based on visitor interaction regulations and available observation time. The results showed that the whale shark tourism area, covering approximately 65 hectares, falls into two categories: suitable (75.15%) and conditionally suitable (24.85%), indicating favorable environmental conditions for conservation-based tourism. The average water transparency was 10.76 m, visibility 8.9 m, and current velocity 0.0836 m/s, which are safe and comfortable for marine tourism activities. The tourism carrying capacity (TCC) was estimated at 24 visitors per day, equivalent to 528 visitors per month and 1,560 visitors during peak months (May–July), which remains below the optimal capacity. The findings suggest that whale shark tourism in Botubarani has high potential to be developed sustainably through regulated visitor management, conservation fees, and adherence to interaction guidelines. This study provides a scientific foundation for local authorities to design management strategies and spatial policies that balance ecological preservation with community welfare.
