This factory tour activity is open to all groups according to the activity package provided.In the package offered by Herborist Semarang, there is a separate SWOT analysis. This study aimed to find out SWOT's Oemah Herborist factory tour activities. SWOT analysis describes conditions and evaluates a business-related problem, including four factors (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats). This analysis uses qualitative descriptive methods. Based on the results of the data collected, the management of SWOT tourism distribution from Herborist has several drawbacks and threats. Herborist should maximize the performance of its employees in promoting Edutrip tourism packaging to the general public about the edutrip offered. Herborists should be able to use social media to promote edutrips to the wider public. Herborists must continue to innovate by developing several types of cosmetic products to meet the needs of cosmetic promotion in beauty classes.
