Abstract

Natural lakes have the potential to be developed as a tourism area, but it is very important to identify and measure the potential level of their tourism resources. This paper aims to identify and assess the potential resources of physical tourism assets based on four criteria, namely tourism infrastructure and facilities, accessibility, level of environmental degradation, and tourist attraction levels. This study applied a descriptive method with data collection through observation and interviews with managers and operators of the Cibeureum lake area. The tourism resource potential data were measured based on indicators on each criterion, then scoring was done using a rating scale so that the potential level for each indicator and criteria could be identified. The findings of the research show that infrastructure and facilities, environmental degradation, and tourist attraction are at a medium potential level while accessibility is at a low potential level. It means that the infrastructure and facilities are already available but inadequate based on quality and quantity. Low accessibility means that the Cibeureum lake area has limited access due to damaged roads that cannot be passed by all types of vehicles. The medium of environmental degradation expresses that the area has been touched by human activities, but the impact is not too high. Meanwhile, the physical tourist attraction services are quite varied. The novelty of this research is that lake tourism destinations that have low accessibility are less attractive to tourists even though the attractions are appealing so it is important to provide adequate accessibility.
