ABSTRACT
Pamah Simelir Hamlet, located in Telagah Village, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, has significant potential as a nature-based and agrotourism destination. However, its development faces several challenges, including limited infrastructure and accessibility. This study aims to analyze the development strategy of the Pamah Simelir tourist attraction using the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model and SWOT analysis to identify its current development stage and formulate strategic recommendations. A qualitative approach was used with eight respondents, including tourism managers, community leaders, local business actors, and tourists, selected through purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document reviews were conducted, and data triangulation ensured the validity and reliability of the findings. The results show that Pamah Simelir is at the involvement stage in the TALC cycle, where community participation is growing despite limited infrastructure. The study identifies concrete strategies, such as improving road access and signage to support tourist mobility, and providing training for local tour guides to enhance service quality. These efforts, combined with digital promotion and government-community collaboration, are essential to ensure the sustainable and competitive development of Pamah Simelir as a rural tourism destination.
