Therefore, weneed to find alternative livelihoods to overcome environmental damage and increase theincome of local communities. One solution is the development of tourism. Sanrobone has a potential of cultural tourism, such as Sanrobone Fortress and Sanrobone Kings Cemetery, which can be promoted and developed in order to improve the welfare of the community because it is supported by nature, community life, and socio-cultural conditions.
