Abstract

This study aims to examine the development of Queen Star Waterpark as a tourism destination located in Siak Regency, Riau Province. Queen Star Waterpark is an artificial tourist attraction with great potential to support the local tourism sector's growth. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that Queen Star Waterpark has met the 4A components of tourism development: Attraction, Amenities, Accessibility, and Ancillary Services. However, several challenges remain, such as damaged facilities and a lack of supervision in pool areas.
