Sustainability levels of local wisdom based agrotourism development model (Case Study in Karangtengah Village, Imogiri District Bantul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta)

Abstract

To anticipate and develop rural areas, the government is currently promoting rural social and economic development, including rural agribusiness and agrotourism programs. This study aims to determine the level of sustainability of the agrotourism development model based on local wisdom. The research was conducted by interviewing fanners and related parties and conducting field observations. The development of agrotourism must be continued. It could be seen from the benefits of environmental conservation, beauty value, recreational value, science development, income, business opportunities for the community, services, promotion support, production, and quality of agriculture supporting agrotourism. Hence, the Karangtengah Tourism Village management should be more serious and professional to benefit the community.
