Abstract

Bumi Harapan village is located in West Toili District, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province possessing strategic nature potential. Responding to the potential, the Village Government has built an education-based tourist destination along the riverside called the Arboretum Tourist Park. Yet, this project met significant obstacles so it has not optimally developed as the Village Government planned before. To solve the problems, the community service team through the Community Partnership Empowerment program revitalized the Arboretum Tourist Park by integrating transformational skills education to develop a more sustainable community in Bumi Harapan village. In this community service project, the team implemented an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. It focuses on community empowerment in managing existing assets, which is the Arboretum Tourist Park. The results of the project indicated an enhancement in the quality of the Arboretum Tourist Park which attracted more visits of local tourists. Besides, educating the Village-Owned Enterprises, the Wana Sari team with transformative skills has provided them with essential knowledge and skills to realize more effective management of the Arboretum Tourist Park. This community service program has contributed not only to the quality enhancement of the Arboretum Tourist Park but also to a progressive strengthening of community participation in managing sustainable tourism.

Abstract

The Arboretum Tourism Park, located in Bumi Harapan, holds great potential to become a leading tourism destination in Central Sulawesi, particularly in Banggai. Therefore, this community service aims to assist the village government in developing the Arboretum Tourism Park through the creation of educational recreational facilities and the implementation of digital promotion strategies. The Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method was applied to address the partner’s needs. The results showed significant improvement in the development of educational recreational facilities, increasing from 20 percent to 90 percent, marked by the establishment of three attractions. Furthermore, technical guidance on digital promotion strategies enhanced the managers’ skills from 40 percent to 95 percent, as evidenced by the establishment of an official website and social media platforms for the park. The contribution of this program lies in increasing the park’s attractiveness, which is expected to boost tourist visits and, ultimately, contribute to improving the village economy. This program supports sustainable village-based tourism development.
