Abstract
Mangrove ecotourism aims to improve the society-s welfare. However, there is no welfare analysis in Islamic perspective yet. This paper aims to describe the impact of Wonorejo Surabaya mangrove ecotourism on society-s welfare in Maqashid Sharia-s perspective. Wonorejo Surabaya mangrove is a well-preserved forest area. There are many unexplored potentials in Wonorejo mangrove forest area, especially in under-optimilized micro-economic and ecotourism sector to increase the development of locals around Wonorejo mangrove area. Therefore, it is a very potential area to be developed as an alternative tourism choice in Surabaya, in order to increase the living standard of Wonorejo Surabaya-s residents. The development of mangrove tourism will create added value to increase local economic potential or as a tourism icon in Surabaya. However, to realize that, Surabaya goverment-s help is needed in order to provide the facilities and infrastructure, empower the local, and most impotantly, to introduce and promote the place as a tourism destination. The Wonorejo mangrove forest area has a lot of unexplored potential, especially in under-optimilized micro-economic and ecotourism sector to increase the development of the locals around Wonorejo mangrove area.
