Abstract

In the increasingly competitive tourism landscape, many local operators in Malaysia face challenges in maintaining service quality and managing their businesses sustainably. The objective of this study is to investigate how training in hospitality service management and financial literacy can enhance the long-term sustainability of local tourism businesses. This study aims to examine the impact of hospitality service management and financial literacy training on the business sustainability of local tourism operators. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 small-scale tourism entrepreneurs in East Malaysia through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that both hospitality service management and financial literacy have a positive and significant effect on business sustainability. Moreover, the integrated implementation of both trainings produces a stronger impact than each intervention individually. These findings support the SERVQUAL Model, Human Capital Theory, and Empowerment Theory, highlighting that knowledge-based capacity building is crucial for improving operational performance and economic resilience in the tourism sector. The study recommends that policymakers and universities adopt integrated training modules that combine service and financial competencies to empower tourism-based microenterprises and foster inclusive, sustainable development.

Abstract

Tinjomoyo Tourism Village in Semarang has considerable potential for developing integrated tourism products based on natural attractions, local culinary traditions, community activities, and the surrounding environment. However, these resources have not been fully developed into structured tourism packages, while the integration of local culinary products, implementation of Sapta Pesona (the seven principles of tourism attractiveness), and utilization of social media for promotional purposes require further strengthening. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of tourism managers and local communities to develop tourism packages based on Sapta Pesona and local culinary products, supported by social media marketing. The program employed a participatory approach and mentoring, involving members of Pokdarwis Woloe Makmur, UMKM local culinary,, and community members. The activities consisted of four stages: preparation, training and mentoring, evaluation, and monitoring. The training materials covered Sapta Pesona, local culinary development, the use of TikTok and Instagram for digital promotion, and the development and integration of tourism packages. The program was conducted at the Pokdarwis Woloe Makmur Secretariat in Tinjomoyo Forest Tourism Area, involving 22 participants. Based on evaluations through interactive discussions and participatory observation, the activities resulted in increased participant enthusiasm and initial understanding of local potential identification, social media content planning, and the preparation of draft integrated tourism packages. Nevertheless, continued mentoring is necessary to support the practical application of the knowledge gained and the sustainable development of tourism products in Tinjomoyo Tourism Village.
