Bromo Tengger Semeru Economic Valuations During Pandemic Covid-19

Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS) is a natural tourist attraction in the form of a row of mountains in the East Java area. Environmental management of the TNBTS area is an important thing that needs to be considered in supporting the development of post-pandemic tourism objects. This management is essential due to the interdependence between TNBTS tourism and the conservation of natural resources. The research method used is the travel cost method to be able to provide an estimate of the economic valuation value of the Bromo Tengger Semeru environment during the Covid-19 pandemic. Previously, researchers used multiple linear regression to determine the value of the coefficients of variables that affect the number of visitor visits, including travel costs, visitor income, the distance from the visitor’s domicile to Mount Bromo, the type of respondent’s occupation, the respondent’s education and the respondent’s age. The consumer surplus obtained previously was multiplied by the number of visitors for 12 months to produce an average economic value of Rp 66,623,948,879,955 for one year.
