Abstract:
Tourism in Indonesia is one of the supporting economies that has bright prospects, but until now it
has not shown a role that is in line with expectations in the development process in Indonesia. Riau
Province is one of the regions on the island of Sumatra whose eco-tourism development is still
quite slow, when compared to several other sectors. One of the potentials that can be developed
from several types of tourism is natural tourism, including the Nature Tourism of the Bukit Thirty
National Park in Indragiri Hulu Regency. The purpose of this study was to find out the
government's efforts in managing environmentally sound natural tourism in the Bukit Tigapuluh
National Park in Indragiri Hulu district. The method used is a qualitative method through
interviews, mainly used to describe (descriptive) and explain (explanatory or confirmatory). The
results of this study indicate the potential of Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in Riau Province is
very large to be developed, which are located at Camp Granit and Rantau Langsat Village Batang
Gansal District, Indragiri Hulu Regency towards ecotourism as well as natural tourism and
