A Geopark consist of geological, biological and cultural varieties thus it is unavoidable becoming tourist attraction which opens the possibility for the local community to offer various kinds of ser-vices and goods needed to support the tourist in-dustry. This will improve the welfare of the local community. This study is aiming to look the pre-paredness of the local community in receiving the status of geopark in Ciletuh Palabuanratu Indo-nesia. Using descriptive method and qualitative approach, data were gained through interviewed stakeholders and local people involved in the de-velopment of the geopark. The result shows vari-ous stakeholders have worked together promoting and preparing Ciletuh to become geopark. How-ever, the community has not yet prepared to re-ceive the significant impact from the status of Ciletuh as geopark. An effort in improving the lo-cal community capacity becomes necessary be-cause tourism activity is closely related to the in-teraction between the local community and the tourists.
