ABSTRACT
Nia Indah Puspawati, 2013. SWOT Analysis of Prambanan Temple as a
Cultural Tourist Attraction in Yogyakarta. English Diploma Program,
Faculty of Letters and Fine Arts, Sebelas Maret University.
This final project report is composed based on the writer’s job training experience
at Prambanan Temple Tourist Park for a month. This report has purposes to
describe and identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of
Prambanan Temple and to find out the efforts done by Prambanan management to
minimize the weaknesses and he threats.
The data for this report were taken from the observation and interview during the
job training. The writer also conducted a library study to find information related
to a SWOT analysis and literature review to support the report.
Conclusion can be drawn that Prambanan Temple Tourist Park has some
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats after the analysis conducted by
the writer. Prambanan Temple Tourist Park itself can be divided into 3 parts; they
are the temple, the archaeological museum and the park. The temple has some
strengths, such as information centre available, good standard facility and friendly
staffs at ticketing office, satisfying guiding service, Ramayana ballet performance

to give the visitors clearer description about the relief, listed by UNESCO as
world heritage, easily accessible and accommodation provided. Besides those
strengths, the temple also has some weaknesses, such as poor of English speaking
skill of the information centre’s staffs and expensive charge. If we look the temple
with an external point of view, the temple has opportunities, they are cooperating
with other institutions, money available from Indonesia’s government and
UNESCO as well as opportunity for research. Some threats that are currently
faced by the temple are competition from other tourist attractions and stolen
stones done by the local people. PT Taman Wisata Candi Prambanan conducts the
socialization for the staffs to master English for communication, to improve the
structure and infrastructure, to give discount and to increase security system to
minimize those weaknesses and threats that have been mentioned earlier.
The second part of Prambanan Temple Tourist Park is the archaeological
museum. From internal point of view, some positive sides or strengths it has are
well-maintained museum area and the properties, high standard facilities,
Prambanan Audio Visual and free to enter. On the opposite, the museum also has
some negatives; they are lack of written information at each object, no guides
available and lack of promotion activity. From external side, museum has good
opportunities, for example holding some events and opportunity for
archaeologists. But, it has also some threats, they are other interesting facilities,

only imitated objects in the museum and less interest of visitors. Until now, PT.
TWC Prambanan does some efforts like adding new written information for each
object in the museum, trying to commit
provide totheuser
guides, adding new and innovative

museum products and doing promotion activity to overcome the weaknesses and
the threats they have.
The third part is the park. Some strengths points that the park has are the security
to secure the safety of the visitors, providing additional activities, beautiful park
and health service. Besides, some weaknesses are also found, such as additional
charges for other facilities and less attention by the management toward the
facilities. There are also some opportunities of the park, they are attractiveness for
holding events and research opportunity. However, some threats that appear are

crime and safety problem and vandalism done by the visitors. Therefore, some
efforts done to minimize those weaknesses and threats are installing the
announcement and giving good quality of services to the visitors
