Abstract

Sports Tourism is tourism to participate in sports activities both in the context of participating in competitions or just as fun in channeling sports hobbies. It is undeniable that tourism is one of the government’s mainstays in attracting the number of tourists. Various types of tourism and concepts have been developed, namely the New Bali concept and one type of tourism that is now starting to be glimpsed is sports tourism. Alor Regency benefits from a fairly wide sea and many small islands and also has several beach destinations. One of the beaches that has begun to be developed is Mali Beach. Mali Beach is starting to be seriously managed by the local government because it has very strong tourism potential, namely clean white sand and calm seas that can attract tourists, especially sports tourism including swimming, snorkeling, diving, jet skiing, flyboarding, and others. In this study, the method used is descriptive qualitative method by conducting direct observations and interviews with predetermined informants such as managers, village heads, community leaders, tourists and the Alor Regency Tourism Office with an in-depth interview approach. This study uses a SWOT analysis technique. This method is intended so that researchers can obtain in-depth information from these resource persons. The results of this paper are local communities verry enthusiastic about sport tourism but they don’t have basic skill about it and they don’t know how to manage the sport tourism. Training about sport tourism is very important to support the development and managing all about sport tourism.
