Abstract
Abstract:Background. Aims.This study aims to examine the role of managersin developing and enhancing tourist attractions in Talaga Bodas, Garut Regency, West Java. Methods.Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through direct field observations, in-depth interviews, and document collection from managers, local residents, and tourists. Result.The main finding is that the management role is still largely held by the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA), while village governments and local communities are less involved. Currently, management focuses more on preserving and maintaining the area, but has not yet fully encompassed the development of tourist attractions, facility improvements, or integrated digital promotion. However, Talaga Bodas's extraordinary natural potential, combined with community support and tourist interest in nature and educational tourism, offerssignificant opportunities for the development of this destination. Active involvement from managers is necessary to foster collaboration among the BKSDA, local government, and the community, thereby creatinga sustainable destination management system. Strategic steps, such as improving infrastructure, training human resources, and promoting environmentally friendly digital initiatives,are crucial to attracting more tourists. Conclusion.This study demonstrates that the task of destination managers is not only to preserve nature but also to achieve a balance between economic, social, and ecological aspects. With collaborative management and a focus on community empowerment, Talaga Bodas has excellentpotential to become a sustainable nature tourism destination, providing tangiblebenefits to residents while enhancing the region's tourism reputation.Keywords:role of management, destination management, tourist attractions, sustainable tourism, Talaga Bodas
