Abstract

Tourism sector is the country's leading sector and a significant contributor to the country's foreign exchange. However, COVID-19 pandemic resulted in declining the number of tourists visiting in 2020, only 25% from the previous year. After the post-pandemic recovery has been carried out, the planning and development of tourist areas are not accompanied by good management can cause various problems. Magelang Regency has unique characteristics due to its historical background, one of which is the site of temples from ancient kingdoms, namely Borobudur and Mendut Temple. As a tourist attraction with a high number of visitors, it has an impact on its planning. This paper aims to identify the maximum capacity of Borobudur and Mendut Temple tourism objects by applying quantitative analysis methods using time series analysis and supported by literature studies to provide objective information. The results obtained are that the number of tourists to Borobudur and Mendut Temple is slowly increasing, but the carrying capacity of the Borobudur Temple has exceeded the maximum limit, while for Mendut Temple, it is still possible to increase tourists. Some alternatives must be applied to increase attractiveness, reduce, and limit tourist visits to prevent over-tourism.
