| Abstract | Geotourism is one of the most popular concepts in the tourism sector. Geotourism is a broad concept that covers many aspects of various tourism activities, such as transportation, accommodation, destination facilities, recreation, planning, and management. Along with the growth of geotourism, there has been an explosion in the number of geotourism sites in the world. Dieng is an example of an area that has geotourism potential. Dieng has unique geology and dynamic natural scenery which has long attracted many tourists to the area. Most of Dieng’s people live from agriculture and tourism. The main agricultural commodity in this area is potatoes, while the tourist objects are volcanic craters, surface manifestations, caves, and temples. This study begins with a literature study and mapping the existing geotourism in Dieng, especially that related to existing facilities surrounding Dieng area. This summary of the results of geotourism in the geothermal prospect area will later explain the problems in the utilization and development of geothermal energy in the agricultural industry which can provide long-term improvements for development in Dieng. |
