Revitalisasi Taman Gili Dukuh Sebagai Daya Tarik Wisata Religi di Desa Blahkiuh, Kecamatan Abiansemal, Kabupaten Badung

Abstract

Taman Gili Dukuh is an area with potential as a religious tourism attraction in Blahkiuh Village, Abiansemal District, Badung Regency. The site features a lush natural atmosphere, a water source for melukat (ritual purification) activities, and a temple situated in the middle of a pond that holds spiritual significance. However, this potential has not been optimally utilized due to the area's lack of maintenance and suboptimal management. This study aims to identify the site's potential, analyze its management, and formulate a revitalization program to establish Taman Gili Dukuh as a religious tourism attraction. A descriptive-qualitative method was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires to support the analysis. Data analysis utilized tourism destination development theory (the 6A framework), tourism management theory, and SWOT analysis. The results indicate that while Taman Gili Dukuh possesses significant potential as a religious tourism attraction, its management faces various obstacles, such as limited facilities, the absence of a structured management organization, and minimal promotion. Based on the SWOT analysis, a revitalization program was formulated, encompassing the arrangement and upgrading of facilities, strengthening management institutions, developing religious tourism products, creating and marketing tourism packages, community empowerment, environmental and sacred area preservation, and environmental risk mitigation. This program is expected to sustainably enhance the appeal of Taman Gili Dukuh as a religious tourism destination
