This research aims to raise awareness and develop a new marketing strategy for Wisata Murah Indonesia in order to boost revenue. This research uses two methods of analysis, namely the qualitative method and the quantitative method to conduct internal and external analysis. The outcomes were then used as the foundation for a SWOT analysis, which was followed by a TOWS analysis and a QSPM analysis to identify possible implementation strategies. This analysis results in a new business strategy to increase revenue at Wisata Murah Indonesia is to create affordable, trend-based special tour packages and to add passport and visa-making services so that customers are attracted by the convenience of travel.
