However, it is known that behind the extraordinary beauty of nature, there must be disaster risks to be considered. However, cultural differences between the domestic and foreign tourists will affect perceptions of security and disaster. This study aims to compare the disaster knowledge between domestic and foreign tourists as well as to see its effects towards tourists’ intention to re-visit the destination. This research was conducted by distributing online questionnaires to 192 domestic tourists as well as offline questionnaires to 44 foreign tourists who have visited Tangkuban Parahu Nature Park. The method used in the research was independent t-test statistical data to process the different perceptions of two sample groups, followed by a multi-regression test to analyze the effect of disaster knowledge variable on intention to re-visit.

The test also showed two contradict results.
