The objective of this study is to identify the key priorities for enhancing the tourism potential in Sidey District. The priorities are segmented into three categories: priority development criteria, priorities concerning tourism actors, and priorities related to tourism alternatives. The descriptive approach is used, and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) facilitates decision-making.

Analysis of the questionnaire processing revealed a consistency value below 0.1, indicating that the weighting is deemed acceptable. According to the study, sidey's tourist potential may be divided into three categories: eco-edutourism, agro-edutourism, and build tourism. According to the findings of the AHP calculations, the allocation tourism development budget (35%) and institutional solid support (27%) were the two most important development criteria. The local government (34%) and the community (24%) are significant tourism actors. Eco-edutourism (48%) and agro-edutourism (40%) are the main alternatives to tourism growth.
