Abstract

Tourist attractions have a uniqueness that motivates tourists to visit a tourist attraction. The uniqueness of a tourist attraction often results in a unique and impressive experience for visitors. A unique tourist experience stores cultural narratives or myths obtained by tourists. Cultural narratives are cultural activities at a destination that store intriguing impressions and memories for tourists about the tourist experience. This paper aims to reveal cultural narratives as unique and impressive tourist experiences in the Geo Park Area, a natural tourist attraction featuring karst mountains and rivers. We obtained the research data from tourists who expressed their cultural narratives as respondents. Researchers gathered data by distributing questionnaires and conducting interviews with tourists at the tourist attraction location. The results of the study concluded that cultural narratives as a form of tourist activity using boats on rivers in the karst mountain area are tourist attractions and unique to obtain tourist experiences in traveling in the geo park area. The distribution of this paper shows that unique and impressive tourist experiences are expressions of cultural narratives by tourists and are the main factors in tourism development.
