Summary:The Natural Tourism Area of Situ Patengan is a tourist destination located in Ciwidey Village, Rancabali District, Bandung Regency, West Java. This area boasts various attractions such as the Pinisi ship, water boats, and more. However, Situ Patengan has experienced a significant decline in visitor numbers since 2018. Although there was a brief increase in 2021, the numbers dropped again in 2022. This study aims to identify the factors influencing tourists' perceptions of the Situ Patengan Tourism Area. The research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents, which were then tested for correlation using the Chi-Square method and analyzed descriptively.

Based on the Chi-Square test results, the only factor significantly related to perceptions of accessibility to Situ Patengan was income category.
