The concepts of disaster education need to be balanced with the high risk of natural disasters in the North Bandung Areas as a tourism destination to promote sustainable development. This study aims to develop new forms of educational tourism for disaster-prone areas to promote sustainable tourism destinations. This qualitative study in the North Bandung Areas focused particularly on the region around the Cimahi River. Interviews with stakeholders involved in the growth of tourism in the North Bandung region included representatives from the West Bandung Regency Tourism Office and managers of tourist attractions. While exploring tourist attractions, observations and documentation occur to determine their coordinates. Literature, legal records, and earlier research were consulted to collect secondary data. The data was then subjected to a content and qualitative descriptive analysis. Following an examination, six tourist destinations that are part of the geological diversity were identified and categorized as tourism. A geotourism analysis has been performed on each tourist attraction that aims to inform visitors about disasters. Finding the coordinates of tourist attractions also helped create a geotourism route with the Cimahi Rivertrek concept. The Tangkubanparahu Volcano's disaster-prone location presents opportunities for the growth of new educational tourism along with issues. For managers of regional, national, and international destinations situated in disaster-prone locations, the introduction of geotourism as an entirely novel form of tourism has implications. © 2025 Author(s).
