Abstract

The Silokek geopark tourism object is currently one of the leading natural tourism assets located in Sijunjung Regency, West Sumatra Province. The Silokek tourist attraction is about 16 KM from Muaro Sijunjung (the capital city of Sijunjung Regency). Several tourist attractions, namely rafting, natural scenery, caves, waterfalls, traditional houses, towering rock cliffs are also great sights that spoil the eye, and others. However, currently the number of tourist visitors to Silokek continues to decline every year. A series of previous studies found that facilities were inadequate, road access was damaged, telecommunication signal was not good, and so on. This research was conducted to find out and discuss the efforts of the relevant agencies from the local government in an effort to increase the number of visitors who visit the Silokek tourist attraction. The method used in this research is an effort to increase the number of visitors to come to this geopark tourism object. This is a descriptive and qualitative approach as well as the results of discussions with related agencies, namely the tourism office, district government, and investment office in Sijunjung Regency. It is hoped that the results of the research can boost the number of visitors to Silokek. One of the efforts made is to conduct a large-scale promotion through video media in every tourism event. And also provide better service and information during tourist visits.
