Abstract

Sustainability is often said to be the middle ground in the Tourism debate, especially in the process of developing nature-based tourism. The basic thing is that the development of nature-based destinations often forgets the impact of development, namely the degradation of development areas, especially the destruction of nature. With the development of various technological functions and features, especially technology-based interactive tools and virtual assistance, this challenge must be bridged. In Indonesia, although it’s not yet massive, there are destinations that utilize technology as a form of attraction. Bukit Peramun is one of them and by using Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) to accommodate trips to see information on Tarsius and Trees. Using the tagline “Take Care of the Forest, Take Care of Life”, preserving the flora diversity and habitat of Tarsius are Bukit Peramun’s goal and aspiration. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach using observation and interview methods, to show how important it is to use ICT, namely AR and VR as part of the attractions at destinations which are also expected to fulfil the conservation goals carried out by Bukit Peramun. As one of the first ecotourism to use ICT in its destinations, this research will show how Bukit Peramun can become an icon of using technology that supports sustainability in Indonesian tourism, especially in ecotourism.
