ABSTRACT 

In the land of Blambangan. The splendor of the Ijen Banyuwangi Geopark is located between 2 regencies, namely Banyuwangi Regency and parts of Bondowoso Regency, East Java Province. Geotourism is tourism of special interest by exploiting the potential of natural resources such as landforms, rocks, geological structures and earth history, so that it is necessary to increase the enrichment of insight and understanding of the processes of natural physical phenomena. Ijen Geopark is one of the tourist attractions which includes several parts. It has tourism elements that link nature, economics and socio-culture of the local community involved in the development of this Ijen Geopark tourist attraction. Support from several parties is needed so that Ijen Geopark becomes sustainable tourism to continue to preserve it. The most prominent attraction within the geopark is the volcano Ijen and its carter lake, reputed to be the world's most acidic lake, and the otherworldly blue fire phenomenon—a rare sight caused by flaming sulfur gas emerging from cracks in the crater. Ijen is one of the most active volcanoes in the Ijen caldera system. Geopark places significant emphasis on the education sector, using several ongoing work programs, namely: Geopark Goes to School, School Goes to Geopark, and Geopark Corner. The aim of writing this article is to describe the diversity that exists in Ijen Geopark as a tourist attraction. The methods used to collect data in this article are observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the data collection carried out show that Mount Ijen and the Ijen Crater have a rare phenomenon, namely blue fire, as a tourist attraction in the Ijen Geopark which is of interest to domestic and foreign tourists
