INTRODUCTION
Natural tourism is generally based on the availability of natural resources such as air, land, and water.
These natural resources are used as objects as well as products for the tourism industry.
The tourism industry could improve people's living standards and the country's economy, but at the same time, it has the potential to damage natural resources and the environment, including humans.
Protecting natural scenery and biodiversity, as well as managing tourist destinations properly, are starting to be applied by tourism managers in order to develop tourism elements that are sensitive to the environment (Furqan et al.
Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism has great potential to be developed nationally and internationally because it covers an area of 25 ha, is located in the highlands, has a cool climate, and has beautiful natural scenery.

that tourism development will have an impact on the local economy and the environment, so it is expected to protect and preserve the function of natural resources and their ecosystems.
Various tourism attributes such as accessibility, condition and completeness of facilities, comfort, security, and services provided by tourism can shape the perception of various parties who also feel the benefits of the existence of tourism objects, especially According to Kotler and Keller .

This perception describes an assessment of the condition of a tourism attraction so it can be used as a basis for evaluating better tourism management and development.

Tourism of Limpakuwus Village belonging to the Forest Village Community Institution (LMDH) of Limpakuwus Village in collaboration with Perum Perhutani.
Forest Management Units (KPH) of East Banyumas.
The management of Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism puts forward aspects of community empowerment (Community Based Tourism/CBT) where workers and traders in the tourism area come from Limpakuwus Village, so it is hoped that the existence of Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism can advance the welfare of the Limpakuwus Village community.

Rahab The Potential and Attraction of Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism Objects Potential of Flora and Fauna The results of observations made in Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism using the cruise method and interviews with area managers.
The type of flora that dominates the tourism area is Pinus Merkusi because the pine forest in the Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism area is classified as a homogeneous forest.
Data on the number of pine trees in the Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism area is shown in Table 4.

, and krokot (Portulaca olerace.
The three floras add value to the beauty of the Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism area because they have different types of However, tourism managers also plan to adopt rare plants and cultivate several types of unique plant variations such as Orchids.
Antuhurium.
Monstera.
Begonia and other ornamental flower plants, which are expected to add value to the beauty of tourism sites.
In accordance with the information from the tourism manager, at the beginning of the opening of Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism as a tourism attraction, there were still several animals, such as deer .
, wild boar (Sus scrof.
, and monkeys (Macaca fasciculari.
in the tourism area, especially during the dry season.
However, as the number of visitors increases, these animals are no longer found in tourism Visitors can only see dairy cows at certain times from BBPTU-HPT Baturraden because it is located next to Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism.
Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism has an area of 25 ha, located in the highlands, and has a cool climate, so it has great potential to build a bird park and add fauna species such as squirrels, rabbits, deer, and other endemic animals that can attract tourists as well as a form of conservation effort.
Tourism Attraction Natural Scenery Natural scenery is everything that can be enjoyed in Natural from various points of view and has a high The unspoiled natural conditions provide cool air that provides comfort to visitors.
In addition, the manager and Perhutani also have regulations not to change the contours of the land, not to change the condition of the forest, and to always maintain the ecosystem in the pine forest area.
The natural beauty of Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism is also supported by an expanse of land located in the highlands, which is about 750 m above sea level, so visitors get a beautiful panorama from that height.
Attractions or Natural Tourism Activities Tourism attractions or activities offered by the tourism attraction are divided into two: natural attractions and artificial attractions.
Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism has natural attractions in the form of pine forests that offer panoramic views of nature's beauty with topographic conditions located in the highlands.
Visitors can enjoy the cool air and beautiful tours.
In addition.
Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism also has artificial attractions, including the golden bridge, trampoline, playground, spider web, forest train.
ATV, mini train, photo spots, tree tracks, camping packages, pre-wedding packages, and passangrahans if we want to hold an event.
Other potentials that can be developed are adding a variety of other tourism activities such as Jurnal Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Alam dan Lingkungan 13.
: 11Ae26 swimming pools, and cafes, adding local cultural attractions such as music and traditional dances of Banyumas, adding environmental educational tour packages, building educational parks that interpret flora and fauna, and developing Limpakuwus Fruit Gardens.
Cleanliness of Tourism Sites Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism is free from industrial influences and motor vehicle noise because its location is far from industrial areas, public roads, and residential areas.
Cleaning facilities such as toilets and trash cans are available at tourism sites.
However, the trash cans provided are still not differentiate between organic and inorganic waste.
Notice boards for protecting the environment are also available, but the numbers are still very minimal.
The tourism manager has collaborated with the Mugi Lestari Non-Governmental Organization for the management of Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism waste.
Management is carried out in a transportation system once a week.
The transported waste will be disposed of at the AuKembaranAy Final Disposal Site or AuCunilAy Final Disposal Site.
This collaboration has positive implications for the cleanliness conditions at tourism sites.
The cleaning staff also always maintains the cleanliness of the location and urges visitors to jointly maintain the quality of the environment in the Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism area.
Tourism Site Security The security of tourist sites is seen from the safety of visitors from animal disturbance and theft, fire, and pine encroachment.
The results of the observations show that the Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism area is quite safe because no tourism ever feels the loss of goods and disturbance by animals.
The security aspect needs to be considered in the running of a tourism business because tourists do not look for problems in traveling but seek satisfaction from the tourist experience (Mahagangga 2.
Fires and pine encroachment had also never occurred in Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism.
The Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism Area, located in the highlands, has a considerable risk when it rains.
The lack of shady places and evacuation routes makes it difficult for visitors to get off the tourist area.
The slippery road conditions due to rain also increase the level of vigilance for visitors.
Security officers who are scattered at crucial points always evacuate visitors so that visitors will stay safe.
According to Riyanto et al.
, ensuring the security aspect at a tourist location will have a positive impact on tourist satisfaction.
Accessibility Accessibility is an indication that states how easy a location is to reach.
Accessibility can be assessed from the type of road, road conditions, and travel time from the city center to the business location.
There are two routes that can be taken to get to the tourism sites, namely Center Baturraden Road and East Baturraden Road.
The road condition of Central Baturraden Road is asphalt and has fairly good lighting conditions, while the condition of East Baturraden Road is not good because there are many roads with holes and lack of lighting, so visitors from Purbalingga City are worried about the condition of the road.
The distance from the city center of Banyumas City (Banyumas Squar.
takes about one hour to the Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism location, while for tourists who use rail transportation, the distance from Purwokerto Station to Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism is only 16 km or can be reached in 30 minutes.
The trip to Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism has an aesthetic value because of the view of Mount Slamet.
The type of road that is passed is quite winding but is still relatively safe for vehicle users because of the availability of signs at every sharp bend.
Physical accessibility in the form of signposts is still not available along the road to tourism sites, so visitors can only rely on non-physical accessibility in the form of google In addition, public transportation is also not yet available to reach tourist sites.
Visitors who do not bring vehicles can rent online taxis.
According to Mahadi and Indrawati .
, the accessibility and circulation of the number of tourists will increase if it is supported by a transportation system and supporting facilities.

Rahab Facilities and Infrastructure According to Yoeti .
facilities are divided into three types of facilities, they are basic facilities, complementary facilities, and supporting facilities.
The facilities included in the basic facilities are public transportation, restaurants, toilets, and prayer rooms.
The basic facilities in the form of restaurants.
In total, more than 15 food stalls are already available at tourist sites, the food stalls owner come from the Limpakuwus Village community and are members of the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDES).
In addition to food stalls, toilets and prayer rooms are also available in tourist areas, but public transportation facilities are not yet available to reach tourist sites.
The parking area is sufficient to accommodate 400 four-wheeled vehicles and 200 two-wheeled vehicles.
Complementary facilities such as souvenir shops are not yet available in tourist sites while supporting facilities such as banks and shopping centers are three kilometers away from tourist Infrastructure in the form of electricity, telephone, and drinking water facilities has been fulfilled in the tourism area.
However, the condition of the internet network is still poor.
The management and Perum Perhutani Forest Management Units (KPH) of East Banyumas plan to add signal amplifiers at several crucial points so that visitors can easily access the internet when traveling.
In addition, with good signal support, the e-ticketing system can be implemented optimally at tourism sites.
Well-maintained facilities and infrastructure will have a positive effect on tourism visits (Haris et al.
, so the development of facilities and infrastructure in Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism needs to be done.
Human Resources Potential Human resource development is determined by preparation for the development of standards, knowledge, attitudes, skills, and responsibilities for individuals or groups with a set of information or knowledge (Istiqomah et al.
The management of the Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism area involves empowering the Limpakuwus Village community who are members of the Pokja under LMDH.
Before the opening of Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism as a tourism attraction.
Limpakuwus Village was classified as a rural red zone, namely a village that was left behind both in terms of social and economic aspects (Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism Manager 2.
However, seeing the great potential of the Pine Forest, the Pokja took the initiative to create a tour that hopes to change the status of Limpakuwus Village.
Public awareness of natural resources that have the potential to be developed into the tourism sector will increase when tourism management partners with the community (Nurhasanah et al.
There are several advantages of an approach that involves community participation, including: .
better tourism management, .
increased effectiveness in running a tourism business, .
increased public understanding of the role of ecotourism in sustainable development, .
provides more control for the community to manage tourism, .
share the derived profits from the tourism business equally (Drake and Paula in Garrod 2.
The tourism employee consists of 22 people who are divided into several divisions, which are the division of security, parking, ticketing, cleaning, head of employees, head of tourism attraction, and there are nine freelancers for trampoline rides, playgrounds, and mini trains.
The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) of employees include discipline, courtesy, courtesy, neatness, must prioritize visitor safety, are not allowed to receive tips in any form, and being loyal to tourism objects.
There are no human resources in Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism who have a tourism education background, but the commitment to ownership of tourism sites is far more important in managing tourism objects (Limpakuwus Pine Forest Natural Tourism Manager 2.
The language skills acquired by managers and employees are only local languages, which are Banyumas and Indonesian so this affects the service of foreign tourists.
According to Rahardjo .
Natural tourism needs to be supported by professionals who are able to speak several languages and are able to provide services to visitors.
As for the service aspect, human resources at tourism sites have good service in terms of friendliness, neatness, communication processes, and the ability to direct tourists.
However, in the tourism Jurnal Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Alam dan Lingkungan 13.
: 11Ae26 area, there is no tour guide to accompany and explain tourism-related information to visitors.
Officers are only scattered at a few crucial points to carry out surveillance.
According to Tjiptono .
, there are four elements in providing services to tourists: hospitality, velocity, comfort, and accuracy.
Characteristics of Respondents RespondentAos Gender The difference in the number of male and female visitors at tourism sites is caused by accessibility to tourism sites and more male visitors are tend to have more interests for camping, tracking, and tourism activities which tend to be classified as adventure tourism compared to female visitors.
