While external factors consist of 1) regulation, 2) competitors, 3) tourists, 4) market share, 5) technology, and 6) promotion. From the results of the study it can be concluded Semarang Bridge Fountain is the newest tourist destination in Semarang City which is managed by the government, namely the Semarang City Public Works Department by presenting its main potential, namely dancing fountains.
