Abstrak
Konawe Kepulauan Regency possesses significant and diverse coastal tourism potential. This potential has not been optimally documented in an integrated spatial information system, resulting in suboptimal management. Limitations in digital mapping and strategic analysis remain primary obstacles to tourism planning. This study aims to map the spatial distribution of flagship coastal tourism objects in Konawe Kepulauan Regency and formulate development strategies. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing observation, documentation, and GPS coordinate tracking. Spatial data were processed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), while SWOT analysis was applied to formulate development strategies. GIS mapping results indicate that tourism objects are distributed across medium to high potential categories, though they lack adequate accessibility and facilities. The SWOT analysis identifies natural beauty as the primary strength, whereas weaknesses include limited infrastructure, low promotion, and suboptimal management. Development opportunities are driven by marine tourism trends and community participation, while threats include environmental degradation and inter-destination competition. Recommended strategies include developing GIS-based digital maps, improving infrastructure, strengthening promotion, and implementing sustainable tourism management.
