This phenomenon creates a new trend for nature tourism because it assesses that air quality is better and away from congestion. One of the most popular cities for traveling is Sukabumi. The tourism industry is one of the main contributors to Indonesia's GDP. With this phenomenon, the competition is getting tougher. Terracotta as one of the industry players in Sukabumi has not shown good results. Regarding Terracotta trying to improve its facilities through analysis of current business conditions. The researcher conducted an internal analysis using the 4P marketing mix analysis to determine the current conditions, the lack ofpromotion made Terracotta difficult to reach the market. This underutilization meant Terracotta was not well known, so his reputation had not yet been established.
