Abstract
Sustainable geotourism management is a strategic step in maintaining a balance between economic growth and environmental preservation. Indonesia's diverse geological potential offers excellent opportunities for broader utilization, while prioritizing disaster risk reduction (DRR). Bali is one of the provinces with geotourism potential. Geotourism management, prioritizing disaster risk reduction, is crucial in Bali, as it is one of the regions prone to various disaster threats, including earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Furthermore, Bali is an international tourist destination, attracting not only domestic but also international tourists.
The objective of this research is to analyze strategies that can serve as input for the sustainable management of Geotourism in Bali Province. The findings indicate a need for basic preparedness protocols, such as establishing horizontal and vertical evacuation routes, clarifying command and control structures, and enhancing coordination. For international MICE events, table-top exercises can be conducted to clarify roles and improve coordination among stakeholders.
