Kendari City has diverse tourism potential but its development is still focused on the main destinations and has not presented the diversity of alternative tourism potential available so that strategic efforts are needed. This study aims to identify and map the distribution and pattern of alternative tourism locations in Kendari City. This study was conducted at several points in Kendari City. This study is a survey study with a spatial approach based on geographic information systems and using Average Nearest Neighbor (ANN) to determine the distribution pattern of tourist locations.
