However, this effort still has some obstacles in its implementation. This study aims to develop a sustainable nature tourism development model based on collaborative management.

Data was collected through interviews, Focus Group Discussions, and literature studies such as RIPDA and the Master Plan for the Sirah Kencong area. The ISM (expert survey) questionnaire as a research instrument was used to obtain information about the contextual relationship of each element in the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) analysis involving 10 experts. The results of this study indicate that the development of natural tourism areas requires a more structured model with four strategies, namely (i) the establishment of collaborative management, (ii) increasing tourist attraction and tourism activities, (iii) integrating destination governance, and (iv) Increasing tourism products.
