This study originates from the underdeveloped management of tourist attractions in Aceh, which has not been optimized to its full potential. Aceh currently requires a marketable tourism model that leaves a lasting impression on visitors. One promising alternative is ecosport tourism, an integration of sports activities and tourism that fosters interaction between tourists and local destinations. The objective of this study is to develop a tourism model that addresses the needs of the sports sector in Aceh. This research employs a qualitative research and development (R&D) approach, using interviews, documentation, and field observations as data collection methods. The data were analysed through the identification and description of tourism sites, as well as the formulation of appropriate ecosport models. The study findings reveal three potential ecosport tourism models based on regional characteristics: (1) walking or trekking in Banda Aceh, with six tourism stops featuring tsunami heritage sites; (2) cycling in Aceh Besar, covering seven cultural and natural destinations; and (3) a mixed-sport model in Central Aceh, which includes swimming, paragliding, rafting, and horseback riding. Expert validation results indicated a content validity score of 92%, categorized as "very valid," while media validation achieved a score of 96%. Response data showed high approval from students (86.6%), lecturers (81.6%), and tourism practitioners (85.8%). These results confirm that the developed ecosport tourism model falls within the 81%–100% range, qualifying it as very valid or very practical for implementation in real-world conditions.
