Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, field studies and literature studies, where the research subjects involve policy makers, related sports authorities, business actors and the surrounding community. The research method used is descriptive using SWOT analysis. The results of the analysis show that the potential of sport tourism for economic growth is very large starting from the micro, small and medium business sector, the hotel sector, the tourism sector, and the availability of employment.
