<![CDATA[Students often experience academic pressure that causes stress, boredom, and mental fatigue, which can affect learning concentration and productivity. The large number of tourist destinations in West Sumatra makes it difficult for students to determine healing locations that suit their preferences. This study aims to develop a decision support system for recommending healing destinations for students in West Sumatra using the SMART (Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique) method. The research used a quantitative approach with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 26 student respondents. The analysis technique was carried out by determining criteria weights, normalizing weights, calculating utility values, and ranking alternatives based on final scores. The criteria used were scenery, facilities, road access, travel distance, and ticket price. The results showed that Jam Gadang obtained the highest score of 0.78, followed by Alahan Panjang with 0.70, making Jam Gadang the most recommended healing destination. This study proves that SMART can provide objective recommendations based on weighted criteria.]]>
