Sapta Pesona Wisata is a value concept that was born and popularized by the former Minister of Tourism and Post and the New Order era, Soesilo Soedarman (1988-1993). Sapta Pesona Wisata which consists of security, cleanliness, order, coolness, beauty, hospitality, and providing memorable memories for tourists so that when tourists visit tourist attractions they get what they expected before visiting the tourist attractions. Meanwhile, the involvement of local communities in the management of a tourist attraction, known as CBT, is a basic element of tourism that places the community as an important factor in managing tourist attractions.
