Impact of tsunami Sunda Strait to coastal tourism in Tanjung Lesung Special Economic Zone Pandeglang Regency Banten Province

Abstract

The coastal area is one of the natural magnificence that is visited by many tourists because it has unique attraction such as white sand, exotic waves, unique coral reef, and beautiful natural scenery. The natural magnificence must be maintained by a variety of damages due to human activities and natural processes such as the tsunami. The impact of the tsunami disaster, in addition to psychological trauma also had an impact on the condition of the objects of tourist attraction, which eventually led to a decline in the number of tourists. Some damage to tourist objects and attractions studied in this paper include spatial conditions, changes in the transparency of seawater on the coast and the condition of existing coral reef. The analysis was carried out by comparing the conditions before and after the impact of the tsunami at Tanjung Lesung Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in December 22th 2018. Through this analysis, it is expected that the management of coastal tourism in the after tsunami Tanjung Lesung SEZ can be carried out more comprehensive and sustainable. Therefore coastal tourism activities will still provide benefits both ecologically and economically for community, government and private administrator of SEZ.
