<![CDATA[Tourism Area life cycle analysis is one of the steps in determining the right strategic steps in developing tourism objects. Based on the observations that have been made, Sumberpakem tourism has experienced ups and downs despite repeated revitalization. The number of visits is not significant, and even once dropped to a no-tourist phase. The concern is, without proper countermeasures, tourism in SumberPakem will be in a decline phase.

Therefore a research is needed to formulate the right strategy in developing SumberPakem tourism. However, so far no study or research has been conducted. The specific objective of this study is to determine the position of the tourism area life cycle of the SumberPakemtourism area so that strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats can be analyzed. The result of this analysis is the formulation of prioritized strategies for sustainable tourism development at SumberPakem.
