Geopark Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu (GCP) was designated as UNESCO Global Geopark (UGG) in 2018 because this region has a very high-value of geo-heritage, biodiversity, and cultural diversity (BPGCP, 2017). However, its continuity as UGG experiences several obstacles such as the transition of authority with the importance of completing 13 recommendations given by UNESCO in preparation for the revalidation carried out in 2021 which determines its status as a UGG can continue or not. Because of that, a strategy and priority are needed in the development of the Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu Geopark within the available time period to ensure the sustainability of its status as a UGG. This research method uses a mixed-method approach with descriptive research through a combination of SWOT analysis methods with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with validation using the expert opinion method. Where the results of the programs obtained from the community training and education strategy are prioritized, followed by tourism development and finally partnership cooperation. From this study, it was found that the combination of the SWOT method with AHP can assist in multi-criteria decision making in the preparation of strategic plans.
