“…The development of ecotourism in Sungai Apit District, Siak Regency, cannot be separated from the provision of facilities for ecotourism activities with special interest in mangroves. Improved facilities for mangrove ecotourism activities must be based on conservation, spatial, safety, and comfort aspects, and must be tailored to the ecotourism activities offered in order to achieve a high level of visitor satisfaction (Ramli et al 2018;Aye et al 2019;Musa et al 2020). The mangrove area is said to be optimal as an ecotourism object if the location and type of activity can be determined, the order and harmony of facilities and infrastructure are adjusted to the condition of the object, and visitors comfort and safety are guaranteed (Yeo et al 2013;Susilo et al 2017;Tracey et al 2017;Situmorang 2018;Sofian et al 2019).…”
