Currently, the service industry, including the tourism, contributes 64% of global GDP. Tourism has proven in supporting the Indonesian economy. Tourism development, is still based on the achievements of the economic sector and there is still very little that considers the safety aspects, especially from the dangers of disasters that may occur at any time. Kulon Progo Regency has a potential tourism sector to be developed and marketed. But on the other hand, Kulon Progo Regency is one of the districts that has the potential for disasters. Regarding tourism objects in Kulon Progo, the management has so far been carried out by the Tourism, Youth and Sports Office of Kulon Progo Regency. As for disasters, their management is coordinated by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Kulon Progo Regency. However, the problem that has occurred so far is that the management and handling of these two matters are carried out. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to carry out tourism development in Kulon Progo Regency by considering disaster aspects. This research will develop the concept of tourism management in Kulon Progo Regency by considering disaster aspects.
