“…Sznajder et al (2009) emphasizes that agro-tourism provides an opportunity to the tourists to be involved in a recreational activity in the rural area to extend their knowledge, as well as to get a recreational experience and a business relationship in the agricultural sector. Past studies have shown that agro-tourism is an efficient economic driver against rural underdevelopment and depopulation, which is used as an important element of regional development strategy (Niedziółka and Brzozowska, 2009;Malkanthi and Routry, 2011;Hurst and Niehm, 2012).…”

Several kinds of agro-tourism are managed by the community and by the private sector. However, if agro-tourism is managed by the community, can it give satisfaction to the visitors? This study aims to determine the level of customer satisfaction by Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and to investigate what marketing mix attributes should be improved by IPA-Kano integration analysis. The research method used was a quantitative research on community-based Salak (<em>Salacca zalacca</em>) Agro-tourism in each category of tourism village, namely ’growing’, ‘developing’ and ‘independent’ tourism village categories. The measurement of visitor satisfaction used the marketing mix attributes of 7Ps (price, place, product, promotion, process, people and physical evidence). Based on the results of CSI, the services provided by the community-based salak agro-tourism manager are considered ‘Satisfied’ in the Growing and Developing agro-tourisms and ‘Very Satisfied’ in the Independent agro-tourism. Priority attributes that should be improved are attributes included in the ‘Fatal’ category. Priority attributes in ‘growing’ agro-tourism are the marketing activities (publicity), availability and cleanliness toilet. Priority attributes in ‘developing’ agro-tourism are marketing activities (promotion), availability and cleanliness of toilets. Priority attributes in ‘independent’ agro-tourism are availability and cleanliness of toilets.

“…Several areas of South Asia have seen considerable success in developing agritourism. It is especially popular in Sri Lanka and parts of India, such as Karnataka (Malkanthi & Routry, 2011;Shushma, 2012). Besides India and Sri Lanka, all of the South Asian states have potential for agritourism development, but it has not yet become a major focus for tourism industry leaders in most countries of the region Islam & Carlsen, 2012).…”

This paper examines the typical ways in which mass tourism has utilized cultural heritage as a salient asset for development. Tourism has long focused on extraordinary, exotic and grand heritage assets at the expense of ordinary, mundane elements the human past that are part of the everyday lives of ordinary people. The paper argues that there are numerous ways in which ordinary heritage should be researched better in South Asia, how it might be used as a tourism resource, and as a tool for community empowerment. The paper focuses on language, Indigenous minorities, religion, traditional livelihoods, and food as exemplars of ordinary heritage with significant potential for tourism and for heritage protection.

Abstrak: Ekosistem sungai adalah salah satu sumber daya alam potensial yang dapat dikembangkan sebagai objek dan daya tarik ekowisata untuk menyediakan lapangan kerja bagi masyarakat sekitar dan mendorong program konservasi sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan potensi atraksi ekowisata, menyusun produk ekowisata potensial, mengevaluasi preferensi wisatawan terhadap objek dan daya tarik ekowisata, dan menyusun konsep produk ekowisata yang akan dikembangkan di sepanjang Sungai Pekalen Atas. Potensi objek diidentifikasi dan dipetakan di sepanjang koridor sungai, dan dilanjutkan dengan uji preferensi responden terhadap objek ekowisata untuk menyusun peringkat dan klasifikasi pengembangan produk ekowisata. Untuk mendapatkan produk dan menyusun klasifikasi ekowisata yang sesuai dilakukan Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dengan pemangku kepentingan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa koridor Sungai Pekalen Atas mempunyai 26 jeram, tiga air terjun, tiga kebun, tiga gua, dan 11 jenis fauna. Terdapat objek-objek potensial yang dibagi menjadi objek rafting dan non-rafting. Persepsi wisatawan terhadap produk ekowisata non-rafting yang ditawarkan adalah "menarik", sehingga objek-objek tersebut perlu dikembangkan lebih lanjut dengan mengikuti prinsip-prinsip pemanfaatan sumber daya alam berkelanjutan. Dari hasil FGD didapatkan tiga tipe produk ekowisata yang dapat dikembangkan di sepanjang Sungai Pekalen Atas yaitu low, medium dan hard level product.Kata kunci: ekowisata, konservasi, pemetaan potensi, pengembangan produk Abstract: River ecosystem is a potential resource for ecotourism development necessary to job creation for the local community and river conservation support. The aims of this research are to depict the ecotourism attraction potentials, to prepare ecotourism product designs, to evaluate tourist's preferences regarding ecotourism objects and attractions, and to develop a typology of tourism products prospectively developed along the Pekalen Atas River. This study was completed from October 2016 to March 2017 in Pekalen Atas River, Ranu Gedang Village, Tiris Subdistrict, Probolinggo Regency. This research covered object identification and mapping steps along the riverbank, and then followed by respondent preferences testing toward the ecotourism objects required to the making of ecotourism product development's classification and ranking. This product was also developed by taking stakeholders' feedback into account during the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The result reveals that the Pekalen Atas Riverbank consists of 26 rapids, three waterfalls, three fields, three caves and 11 animal species. The potential objects could be classified into rafting and non-rafting. Based on tourists' perceptions, the non-rafting objects are considered "attractive" so that their further developments should meet the principles of sustainable natural resources utilization compliance. The FGD results confirmed three types of ecotourism products that could be developed along the Pekalen Atas Riverbank, i.e. low-, medium...
