It posesses a characteristic and exotic natural resources, some has been exploited and some others have not been touched yet. Religious and high work-ethic human resources also characterize the potency and it becomes a promising modality of tourism development. Sampang represents for Madura, since it has been a part of the island that has specific social character. Yet the data show that tourism has not become strategical and inter-sectoral issue. Nevertheles, inter-sectoral ego is being SKPD interest of policy measurement. Sampang stakeholders---kyai (Islamic scholar) and public are not invited by the government to discuss the tourism discussion.
