The information collected from visitors to the park allows categorization to be done on visitors, and such information can be utilized for marketing purposes. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to identify the profile and the characteristics of visits by international visitors. Structured questionnaire and face-to-face data collection method were employed to obtain primary data from 330 international visitors.
