The research aims to analyze the potential and demand for eco-sport tourism. The research was conducted in March-July 2022 at TNGGP, West Java Province. The results showed the availability of tourism resources in TNGGP including waterfalls, campsites, lakes or ponds, natural phenomena, suspension bridges, bird watching trails and conservation education centers.
