Abstract

This study aims to determine the strategy of the Tourism Office in developing the Pandaratan Beach tourist destination, Sarudik District, Central Tapanuli Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through direct field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of a number of informants deemed relevant, namely the Tourism Office, Pokdarwis, the community as managers, business actors, and tourists. The results show that the Tourism Office's strategy in developing Pandaratan Beach has been formulated based on the Central Tapanuli Regency Tourism Office's strategic plan (Renstra). This strategy focuses on equitable distribution of development infrastructure with a superior commodity-based approach, which aims to support tourist attractions and increase the contribution of the tourism sector to regional development. The strategy implementation is realized through various programs, including proposing basic infrastructure development, human resource development through training, destination promotion through social media, development of natural tourism products, and the formation and empowerment of tourism awareness groups (Pokdarwis) as drivers of tourism awareness campaigns. The implications of this study indicate that the development of Pandaratan Beach has not been fully optimal and still faces several obstacles, such as limited supporting facilities, less than optimal tourism services, and uneven community participation, so that the impact on the quality of tourism services, increasing community participation, and the sustainability of the destination still needs to be strengthened. Therefore, a comprehensive and sustainable strengthening of the strategy is needed through cooperation from related parties so that the Pandaratan Beach tourist destination can develop more optimally based on superior commodities.

Abstract

This study examines community empowerment in the development of Ulos Ragi Hotang in Desa Meat, Kecamatan Tampahan, Kabupaten Toba. Ulos Ragi Hotang is a cultural heritage of Batak Toba, rich in philosophical and historical meaning, with great potential as a creative economy product. The focus of this research is on the forms and strategies of community empowerment to preserve cultural heritage, increase economic added value, and support Desa Meat as a cultural tourism destination. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection through observation, in-depth interviews with local weavers, traditional leaders, Pokdarwis managers, and the Tourism Department, as well as field documentation. The results show that empowerment is carried out through the improvement of weaving skills, community-based weaving groups, and training in production and marketing. Empowerment strategies include traditional marketing, digital promotion, strengthening tourism village institutions, product branding development, and involving the younger generation. Supporting factors include local cultural wealth and government support, while challenges include low digital literacy and limited market access. This study concludes that local community empowerment plays a significant role in the preservation of Ulos Ragi Hotang and creates sustainable creative economic opportunities, while also strengthening the cultural identity of Batak Toba.
