Abstract

This study aims to assess the tourism potential and feasibility of forest park in Langsa, Indonesia, as an urban tourist attraction. The research uses both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected solely through questionnaires distributed to respondents, while secondary data were obtained from relevant agencies and include information on the location and geographical conditions of the area. The results indicate that forest park has strong potential to be developed as a tourist destination. However, improvements are needed in terms of accommodation facilities to support sustainable tourism development.
