Abstract

The dynamic movement of tourism around Bandung has shown a big hit in various sectors. In order to maintain the sustainability of tourism in Bandung, it is important to create a systematic community participation program to promote and to manage the tourism potential in the city. This research is aimed to understand the readiness of the local communities to support the potential tourism around Bandung. This study investigates the local communities in five different areas around the Bandung Regency and derives from them the situation of the current community participation to propose recommendation for future program in each area.
