Abstract

Riverbank areas, commonly referred to as waterfronts, are the interface between water and land. In recent years, these areas have increasingly been commodified for their practical value, resulting in significant benefits for local communities. Numerous destinations, both within Indonesia and internationally, have effectively leveraged riverbank resources, as demonstrated by tourist villages in Yogyakarta and developments in Venice and Amsterdam. Banyuwangi contains 116 rivers distributed across 25 districts, representing a significant resource if effectively managed. The Salamrejo Canal, originating from the Salamrejo River, serves as part of an irrigation system that supplies water to agricultural lands in Salamrejo Village. In recent years, both the community and village government have initiated development of the canal’s potential. Over the past three years, the site has experienced increased visitor numbers, resulting in heavy afternoon traffic. Currently, visitor activities are primarily limited to brief riverside culinary tours during sunset. However, the surrounding area offers opportunities for further tourism development. This research aims to identify the tourism potential of the Salamrejo Canal using established theoretical frameworks. The study produces a map of the canal’s tourism potential, focusing on its natural attractions and associated components.
