Abstract
There are many ways to save the forest, one of which is to make the
concept of ecotourism in forest areas, both natural and socio-cultural
ecotourism which is the local wisdom of residents. Local wisdom itself is
the life of the village community which is one of the attractions of tourists
from urban areas who have never felt village life, especially forest areas,
or tourists who want to get peace in the village. In addition, the culture
that is currently still believed by the forest community and has the
opportunity to become a potential as a cultural heritage of the
community. Ecotourism conceptualized is a form of tourism that leads
to meta tourism. Ecotourism that not only sells destinations but sells
philosophy. From this aspect, ecotourism will not recognize market
saturation, the results of observations show that the forest area that has
the potential to create Ecotourism is between two districts, namely Sekar
District and Gondang District which are located in Sambongrejo,
Krondonan, Klino and Deling Villages.
