Popis: The carrying capacity analysis needs to be approved to control the impacts caused by marine tourism activities. Before the management related to limiting the number of tourists is carried out, an analysis of the carrying capacity potential is accepted to determine the maximum number of tourists who can conduct marine ecotourism. This paper aimed to analyze the potential carrying capacity and allocation of marine tourism tourists in sub-region III, the Taman Nasional Laut Kepulauan Seribu (TNLKpS – Seribu Islands Marine National Park). The research method used is tourism suitability analysis, carrying capacity analysis and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis. Marine ecotourism in sub-region III TNLKpS is divided into two activities based on the distribution of coral reef resources used; snorkeling and diving. The area of coral reefs for snorkeling activities is 1,008,433.24 m2, while the area of coral reefs for diving activities is 2,766,593.80 m2 scattered in the waters of sub-region III TNLKpS. The potential carrying capacity for snorkeling and diving tourism activities is 3,752 and 9,814 people/day, respectively. This paper concludes that marine ecotourism in sub-region III TNLKpS can still be developed by applying the carrying capacity principle and setting spot tourism allocation per trip per day.
