Strategy for the Development of Anggi Lake Tourist Attraction as a Sustainable Tourism Destination in Arfak Mountains Regency, West Papua Province

Abstract

This study aims to formulate tourism development strategies for Lake Anggi as a tourist destina-tion in Pegunungan Arfak Regency, West Papua, using a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. The research method employed a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. A total of 30 respondents were selected through purposive sampling, consisting of traditional lead-ers, tourism business actors, village officials, and visitors. A structured questionnaire was used as the main instrument. Data were analyzed using the Internal Factor Analysis Summary (IFAS) and External Factor Analysis Summary (EFAS) matrices, and then mapped into the SWOT quadrant. The results show that Lake Anggi has great potential in terms of natural beauty, cultural values, and unique ecosystems, but faces constraints in infrastructure, limited promotion, and low capaci-ty of tourism human resources. The main strategies recommended include community-based eco-tourism development, infrastructure improvement, digital promotion, and cross-sector collabora-tion. This research contributes to local governments, tourism actors, and communities in formulat-ing sustainable management policies for Lake Anggi
