Partisipasi Masyarakat Dalam Pengembangan Desa Wisata Kandri

Abstract

This study aims to analyze community participation in the development of Kandri Tourism Village. This study uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews, observations and documentation. The results show that community participation is crucial in tourism village development as they are the primary owners and managers of village resources. Community participation can increase local income, preserve local culture and traditions and raise awareness about environmental and cultural preservation. This study also reveals that community participation in Kandri Tourism Village development can take forms such as tourism management, tourism product development and tourism promotion. However, challenges faced by community participation include lack of awareness and capacity in managing tourism and developing tourism products. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase community awareness and capacity in tourism management and product development. This study contributes to the development of sustainable tourism villages and provides economic, social and cultural benefits to local communities. The findings can be used as a reference for developing other tourism villages in Indonesia.
