It is expected that the vision could promote the province’s tourism industry at domestic and international levels. The development of geological phenomena-related nature tourism is known as geotourism. Geotourism offers geological description on the unique and rare natural phenomena. In geotourism development, the roles of a geologist are very important in digging out accurate information on the formation process of the unique products of the geological and natural phenomena. The effort is in line with the RI Presidential Instruction No.16/2005 on Policies of Culutral and Tourism Development for Energy and Mineral Resources Sector.
Frame of mind of carrying out a sustainable competitive advantage-based geotourism management can be presented with a flowchart; input, process, and out put to win the goal. Analysis and identification approach for preparing strategic factors the geotourism object organizer of an area uses is SWOT matrix. The matrix describes potential external opportunities and threats and internal strenghts and weaknesses to secure the most appropriate strategic alternative.
