Situ Batu Peti is a natural tourist attraction located in Sukamukti Village, Banjar City, which has great potential to be developed into a leading ecotourism-based tourist attraction. This study aims to analyze the application of ecotourism principles in Situ Batu Peti in the context of sustainable tourism development. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data were obtained through direct observation, interviews with tourism managers, and a review of related literature. The results of the study indicate that the application of ecotourism principles in Situ Batu Peti has been carried out quite well, including environmental conservation, local community participation, and education for tourists. However, there are several aspects that need to be improved, such as waste management and increasing community capacity in managing tourism. The implementation of ecotourism in Situ Batu Peti is expected to become a model for other tourism development in Banjar City, so that it can provide economic benefits to the local community without damaging the natural environment.
