Randomized trial analyzes tourism potential and destination readiness in Wondiboy, suggesting development strategies.

The aim is to analyze the potential for ecotourism and assess the readiness of the Wondiboy destination while identifying development constraints.
Used a convergent mixed-methods design involving 75 visitor questionnaires and 94 local resident surveys.
Conducted in-depth interviews, field observations, expert assessments, and document reviews of spatial and tourism planning.
Applied the 6A destination framework and SWOT analysis to evaluate conditions and formulate strategies.
Visitor scores indicated high attraction (4.17) but very low ancillary services (1.51), leading to an overall mean of 2.93.
SWOT coordinates (+0.55; +1.03) identified strategic positioning in Quadrant I, necessitating focus on Weakness-Opportunity measures first.
Recommended sequential improvements include enhancing institutional capacity and safety infrastructure ahead of ecotourism product development.
