Pendidikan untuk Kemandirian Ekonomi: Pemberdayaan Tata Kelola Pelayanan Homestay di Desa

Abstract

Education plays a strategic role in supporting economic independence, particularly through the empowerment of homestay service management in villages. This article examines efforts to empower rural communities by enhancing their capacity to manage homestays as part of community-based tourism development. The approach involves training in service management, financial management, digital marketing, and improving the quality of homestay facilities. The study was conducted in a developing tourist village, with active participation from the local community. The results indicate that continuous education and training can improve the professionalism of homestay managers, strengthen service competitiveness, and create better economic opportunities. These findings highlight the importance of education as a key to fostering local-based economic independence while significantly contributing to sustainable rural tourism development.
