Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This research aims to analyze the Bima Regency government's support for the development of sports tourism. This research uses qualitative research methods that are descriptive and analytical. This research uses triangulation of data collection techniques through various data sources, namely interviews, observation and documentation. This research shows that the Bima Regency government has started and will support and commit to developing tourism. It has begun to pay attention to and prioritize it by designing the Regional Tourism Development Master Plan (RIPPDA) for Bima Regency. The Bima Regency RIPPDA still needs to focus on developing sports tourism by exploiting its potential—natural resources in Bima Regency. Because RIPPDA Bima Regency only focuses on developing marine tourism, natural tourism and cultural tourism, the development of sports tourism has not been paid attention to or created. The conclusion of this research shows that the Bima Regency government's support for the development of sports tourism has not been optimal, judging from the inadequate infrastructure and security in the tourist area, and also for RIPPDA, Bima Regency has not focused on developing sports tourism.
