Leuwimalang Tourism Village is a nature- and education-based tourist destination in Bogor Regency with great potential; however, some of its supporting facilities do not yet optimally meet visitors’ needs. This study aims to identify the condition of the supporting facilities, analyze the perceptions and preferences of visitors and managers, and develop a plan for their improvement. The research was conducted from January to April 2026 using a mixed-methods approach. Data were collected through observation, a questionnaire administered to 100 respondents using purposive sampling, as well as a review of the literature and management documents. The results indicate that supporting facilities still require improvements in quality, quantity, and maintenance. Development priorities include trash bins, lighting, seating, and directional signs. This study produced a design plan for supporting facilities that takes into account function, aesthetics, comfort, safety, environmentally friendly materials, and the character of the tourist area.
