Abstract
This study analyzes the promotion strategy of the Sleman Tourism Office in
increasing visitors' interest in the new Lava Pillows 2017 tourist attraction. Lava
Pillow tourism is a new tour located in Berbah, Sleman, where it has tourism
potential that can be developed and introduced to the wider community, especially
in educational tourism . This study aims to describe and analyze the extent of the
Sleman Tourism Office's promotion strategy in promoting Lava Pillow tourism in
2017 by reviewing several supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation.
This study uses a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques
through interview methods with the parties involved and several sources of
documents that are tested for validity. The results of this study indicate that the
promotional activities carried out by the Sleman Tourism Office in 2017 are using
conventional media promotion programs and social media. The advantages of
implementing the Lava Pillow tourism promotion strategy are publications from
the media that are very helpful in addition to the programs that have been set.
After publishing through the mouth of the mouth media from one tourist to another
tour can also help achieve the goals to be achieved by Lava Pillow tourism. The
lack of implementation of the promotion strategy is the blom of the organizational
structure and the lack of communication between Lava Pillow tourism managers
and the Tourism Office so that it can hamper the smooth implementation of
tourism promotion strategies for Lava Pillow. In addition, the evaluation of the
implementation of the promotion strategy is not well implemented and causes a
lack of improvement in subsequent implementation.
