ABSTRACT
Tajur Kahuripan Village began to get tourists from different regions by maintaining the indigenous Sundanese cultural traditions, especially its traditional housing. Tourism has since begun to thrive in this area. Since the inhabitants are indigenous farmers, however, no one has any experience and skill in the tourism sector. Consequently, the tourist management system is not optimized to necessarily ideal level. There is no influx of visits to the village as tourists arrive. Similarly, the flow of reception and placement of guests to any homestay has not yet been developed. Those will contribute to a lack of valuable experience on the tourists’ part. The goal of this research is to analyze the model of visitor management as to what should be implemented in the Tajur Kahuripan Village, so that it corresponds to the characteristics of the rural tourism offered. Furthermore, this study is intended to build a model of visitor management for Kampung Tajur tourists in order to achieve an optimal visitor experience. The research method used is a qualitative method and a model development method. The targeted output is the concept of visitor management models for tourists coming to Tajur Kahuripan Village that best suits the characteristic of the village. This visitor management model is expected to enhance the tourists’ experience coming to visit this village.
