Dampak Relokasi Pasar Bunga dan Sayur Bandungan Terhadap Peningkatan Daya Tarik Wisata

Abstrak

The development of the Bandungan Flower and Vegetable Market following its relocation presents a phenomenon distinct from other market relocations, even though it occurred during the pandemic. The minimal disputes over stall allocations, effective stakeholder approaches, and the successful alleviation of traffic congestion at the old Bandungan Flower and Vegetable Market contributed to the relative success of this market relocation. This study aims to examine the increase in the number of tourist visits before and after relocation and to examine the changes in facilities and infrastructure that support tourism at the new Bandungan Flower and Vegetable Market location. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method through field observations, interviews, and literature studies. The study reveals that the comprehensive facilities and supporting infrastructure for tourism make the new Bandungan market increasingly conducive and suitable for visitors. The supporting infrastructure includes adequate parking space, clean public restrooms, well-maintained prayer rooms, and an increase in the number of vendor stalls from 454 to 957 at the new market. Additionally, the rapid adaptation process for vendors in the new Bandungan Market environment has resulted in normal market activities, serving tourists and contributing to the economic improvement of Bandungan Market vendors.
