Tourist’s loyalty is an important factor that tourist destination managements have to pay attention to. Thisis especially true for ecotourism destinations which cannot accommodate high numbers of visitingtourists. Having only a few but loyal tourists is the main concern of ecotourism managements, includingthe Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran (Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano) Ecotourism management. The purpose of this study was to examine how the loyalty of tourists can be created by the factors of the tourist attraction, safety, and amenities, with satisfaction as an intervening factor, on the model of Community Based Tourism development in Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran Tourism Village. The analytical method used was a path analysis with Partial Least Square (PLS). The results showed that the tourist attraction is a dominant factor that gives a positive influence on the loyalty of tourists through intervention variable satisfaction. Other factors studied, namely safety and amenities, are not proven to affect the loyalty of tourists. This research recommends that loyalty of tourists can be achieved through efforts to improve thequality of tourist attraction.Keyword: tourist attraction, safety, amenities, satisfaction, loyalty, Indonesia.
