The gap analysis approach used a descriptive survey to 200 respondents selected by non-probability sampling in November 2018. Several ecotourism potentials assessed were accessibility, accommodation, cultural attractions, public facilities, human resources, information and natural attractions. The result showed that there is a higher expectation rather than perception of visitor in BBNP. The highest gap value was found in public facility [-1.71], while the lowest gap value was found in accessibility [-0.97]. Thus, public facility should be prioritized to develop in order to meet the visitor s’ expectation. In term of public facility, the highest gap value was found in communication facilities (telephone, fax, internet), while the lowest gap value was found in garbage dump and clean water availability. Therefore, the top priority to improve was the quality and quantity of communication facilities (telephone, fax, internet). ## Keywords - Visitor pattern - The Internet - Perception - Descriptive statistics - Tourism - Business - Marketing - National park - Gap analysis (conservation) - Public opinion - Geography - Advertising - Environmental resource management - Psychology - Computer science - Statistics - Environmental science - Mathematics - Political science - World Wide Web - Ecology - Programming language - Archaeology - Biology - Politics - Biodiversity - Neuroscience - Law --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
