INTRODUCTION The development and improvement of priority destinations is a form of realization of the national tourism development master plan for 2010-2025 which is regulated in Government Regulation (PP) no. 50 of 2011. This Government Regulation is the basis for tourism development in order to increase the quality and quantity of destinations and create a tourism industry that is capable of driving the national In 2015, the government for the first time initiated a more focused tourism development, namely on 10 Indonesian priority tourist destinations outside Bali. President Jokowi said that the trend of increasing foreign tourist visits to Indonesia must be a momentum to strengthen tourism and bring in more. The government needs to focus on developing and revitalizing several selected tourist destinations to strengthen Indonesian tourism. As time went by, the government refocused its development focus on five places which became known as the 5 Super Priority Destinations, namely Borobudur. Mandalika. Labuan Bajo. Lake Toba and Likupang, which were added to the list in 2019 (Wulung, 2. Indonesia experienced an increasing trend in foreign tourist visits every year from 2010 to 2019 (Maulana, 2. The Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded that the number of foreign tourist visits reached 16. 11 million throughout This figure has increased sharply compared to 7 million visits in 2010. However, foreign tourist visits are still centered on the island of Bali. Even in the 2020-2024 RPJMN, it is stated that 41 percent of Indonesian tourism still relies on Bali. Data from BPS also shows that Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali is still the largest entry point for foreign tourists from year to year. Therefore, developing and developing priority destinations outside Bali is becoming increasingly important because it is hoped that it will be able to create equality and economic growth in the tourism sector, outside the Island of the Gods (Hayati and Novitasari, 2. Talking about Indonesian tourism. Bali is still the favorite. In fact. Indonesia has various other tourist destinations with natural beauty and culture that are no less interesting than the Island of the Gods (Rahma, 2. Starting from there, in the last few years the government has begun to devote time and energy to developing a number of other tourist destinations outside Bali. Five of them are now named the Five Super Priority Destinations . DSP), which are believed to be able to boost Indonesia's tourism industry in the future (Fauzi, 2. The five DSPs which are National Tourism Strategic Areas (KSPN) are spread across five provinces in western, central and eastern Indonesia. The five DSPs are Lake Toba in North Sumatra. Borobudur in Central Java. Mandalika in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). Labuan Bajo in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), and Likupang in North Sulawesi. These five destinations have great potential, uniqueness and tourist attraction, but still need many touches to be developed (Halum, 2. Quality tourism is a tourism concept that is in contrast to the concept of quantity tourism. This means that managers no longer focus on finding ways to bring in as many tourists as possible . ass touris. , but instead think about how tourists will be impressed and spend a long time in that place so that the amount of spending will be greater. Meanwhile, according to Vendrell . , findings can be used to 2426 | Volume 6 Nomor 3 2024 Reslaj: Religion Education Social Laa Roiba Journal Volume 6 Nomor 3 . 2425 - 2435 P-ISSN 2656-274x E-ISSN 2656-4691 DOI: 10. 47476/reslaj. evaluate the quality of performance of tourism destinations and services (Akbar. The shift from the concept of quantity tourism to quality tourism has previously been carried out by neighboring countries, one of which is Australia. Tourist visits were only 10 million people but foreign exchange reached US$45 billion. Focusing on quality tourism will have a big impact on the country's economy (Nasution, 2. Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy. Sandiaga said that the focus on development was so that these 5 DSPs could have world class quality. DSP development is carried out comprehensively, including the development of accessibility infrastructure, amenities, and telecommunications networks. This also includes developing tourism products, improving the creative economy ecosystem, and preparing human resources in each location (Sutono, 2. As a super priority destination, interconnection in terms of infrastructure must be worked on seriously. Such as airports, ports, and land roads. Everything must have world class quality. The development of priority tourism destinations is included in Indonesia's National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024. In the RPJMN, it is stated that through these 5 DSPs the government targets that by 2024, the contribution of the tourism sector in GDP will increase to 5. 5%, foreign exchange from the tourism sector will be 30 billion USD, and the number of domestic tourists will reach 350-400 million trips and 22,3 million foreign tourists.

Supporting the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy's plans, the Minister Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono said that infrastructure development in each DSP area must be carried out in an integrated manner through a development master plan. Road construction, area planning, provision of raw and clean water, sanitation development, waste management, destination improvements and residential areas must be carried out in an integrated manner. Development at five DSPs is carried out periodically. The 2020-2024 RPJMN mandates that development be prioritized for the development of supporting roads, ports and airports, pioneering tourism destinations, development of tourist villages, development of tourist area amenities, and development within regions and areas. Each DSP area has its own development master plan that follows the needs of each WO Strategy: Improving The Quality Of Human Resources This plan provides benefits to micro, small and medium businesses. fostering and developing MSMEs, carrying out more creative innovations and promotions, improving the management of MSMEs, and increasing good communication between the government and MSMEs.

PT Minahasa Permai Resort Development (PT MPRD). WT Strategy: Promotion of Super Priority Destinations and Attracting Investors In general, the construction of the five DSPs uses various funding schemes. Apart from funding through the APBN, various funding schemes such as Public Private Partnership or p (Government Cooperation with Business Entitie. , as well as private investment are also encouraged to finance development in the five DSPs. For this reason, the Indonesian government openly invites the business world and investors, both domestic and international, to invest and be involved in developing the five DSPs. On various occasions, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy. Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, invited investors and business entities to invest in the tourism sector, especially in the five DSPs.
