Abstract

Climate change, environmental degradation, and ecosystem destruction demand the adoption of eco-friendly practices in economic activities. Beyond environmental benefits, such practices enhance economic competitiveness, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Tanjung Rejo Mangrove Tourism Village in Medan Belawan exemplifies the integration of sustainable tourism with mangrove ecosystem conservation and local economic empowerment through homestays, tour guides, and environmentally-based products. This study evaluates the effectiveness of eco-friendly training for 30 local MSMEs using participatory methods with pre-test and post-test instruments. Results indicate significant improvements across ten indicators (25%-56%), notably in production waste management (56%) and consumer awareness of eco-friendly products (45%). The training successfully catalyzed behavioral transformation toward sustainable business practices, yielding dual impacts on ecosystem preservation and MSME economic competitiveness. Findings demonstrate that structured capacity-building programs can drive collective environmental awareness while strengthening local economies. Recommendations include developing advanced training modules, fostering multi-sector collaboration, and establishing incentive systems for MSMEs consistently implementing eco-friendly practices.

Abstract

The tourism industry serves as a vital mechanism for maintaining environmental sustainability through Green Tourism implementation, particularly regarding eco-friendly packaging adoption. MSMEs in Denai Lama Tourism Village continue to encounter obstacles stemming from limited awareness and insufficient access to information about sustainable practices. A Community Service Program was executed through structured training sessions, employing pre- and post-test methodologies to assess knowledge acquisition. Findings revealed substantial improvements in MSME understanding concerning eco-friendly packaging significance, environmental implications, and economic advantages. The program aims to enhance MSME readiness for implementing sustainable practices, strengthen tourist destination appeal, and create pathways for advanced training in waste management and sustainable product development.
