Tourism
to support the Special Province of Yogyakarta tourist destinations,
Gunungkidul Regency is quite potential to be a tourist destination. The
Sewu Mountain Range is the richest calc-stone mountain range with
underground rivers, caves, lakes, or ponds. Several caves have been
developed to be natural tourist objects and attractions. In its southern
part, the shores have different shapes of steep rocky, narrow, and
white-sandy shores. In several places, there are narrow sandy bays
surrounded by steep and rocky shores. The largest potential tourist
objects in Gunungkidul Regency are its natural shores, caves, and
culture.

Culture as one of the cultural preservation areas with
regards to its historical value, this region is very important to be
conserved in the efforts to sustain the development of cultural history
and human civilization. The cultural assets in Gunungkidul Regency
include the artifacts of the classical period, the Islamic period, and
the historical period in the forms of menhir, sarcophagus, and
megalithic structures. At least up to this moment, there are 48
historical sites and 11 villages cultural-based assets. Those historical
sites are located on the riverbanks and rice fields in the
sub-districts of Karangmojo, Wonosari, Semanu and Tepus. Yet, the
current conservation activities have not been done optimally, causing
the loss of cultural assets and sites as well, even they are not placed
where they are supposed to. This is due to the lack of the education and
awareness of the community about the conservation of their cultural
assets.
