Abstract

Tourism is one of the potential sectors that the regions can develop to establish an area with the help of the government, the community, and the private sector. Apart from impacting regional development, tourism is also expected to bring changes to the community around the tourist area. The Umbul Siblarak Tourism Area is one of the tourist areas built in Klaten Regency. This paper aims to find out the profile of the Umbul Siblarak Tourism Area and the impact of the construction of the Umbul Siblarak Tourism Area on the community, especially in the economic sector.
