Tourist Village : The Role Of Youth As Activists In Society In The Era Of Digitalization In Development And Regional Development

Abstract

Sustainable tourism development can be realized by developing tourist destinations from the smallest unit, namely the village level, this is because most of the tourism activities are there. Destination development is carried out by transforming the village into a tourist village. The idea of Sumberteguh Tourism Village is 5 pioneering tourism villages in Kudu District with the potential of the Marmoyo River, Sumberjo Reservoir, and parks. Some of the obstacles include budgeting funds from local governments, not knowing how to utilize village assets, and the lack of utilization of digitalization being the main factors. This Community Empowerment Activity uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach and the results are in the form of site analysis. The development of research instruments consists of the Development of the Tourism Village Concept, supporting factors for biophysical conditions, socio-economic conditions, culture and Ecotourism principles which are then entered into a table of potential and constraints and then adjusted to community perceptions so as to produce development options that are appropriate to the conditions in the Village. The results of this community empowerment activity show that Sumberteguh Village has tourism potential that can be developed into a tourist area, divided into a core zone, a facility zone and buffer activities. The site analysis is divided into five (5) supporting factors in the table of Potential and constraints along with development options from these tourism potentials, resulting in four (4) types of tourism activity planning and Tourism Village Development concepts in the form of themes, activities, tourism facilities, institutional elements with development planning.[1]
