Abstract

One type of accommodation that is widely found in tourist villages is homestay. Homestay is an accommodation that offers the experience of living together with locals in their homes. Homestay is a popular form of accommodation in tourist villages because it provides a different experience from other accommodations, as well as providing opportunities for tourists to interact with locals. Although homestays are in great demand by tourists, there are still some challenges in marketing them in tourist villages. One of the challenges faced by homestay marketers in tourist villages is the lack of knowledge on how to market effective homestays. In addition, homestays in tourist villages are also faced with competition with other accommodations such as hotels, villas, and other inns. The results showed that the homestay marketing strategy has not been effective enough in Tourism Villages in South Sulawesi, because homestay owners / managers and pokdarwis as homestay marketing coordinators in tourism villages have not had the right concept in their marketing. The role of information technology has not increased the effectiveness of homestay digital marketing in tourism villages in South Sulawesi due to limited digital literacy and resources.

Abstract

This community service program aims to strengthen community capacity in Prabu Tourism Village through the EDUKARSA (Education and Creation for the Community) program, which integrates four key capacity-building components: culinary presentation, homestay room preparation, tour package development, and photography and videography for digital content creation. The program was implemented using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving 40 participants from June to October 2025 through stages of planning, implementation, evaluation, and sustainability. Program effectiveness was evaluated using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale, analyzed descriptively using statistical procedures commonly applied in SPSS. The results show that the overall mean score of participants’ competency improvement reached 4.42 (SD = 0.51), indicating a high level of perceived effectiveness. Reliability testing demonstrated strong internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.91, confirming that the evaluation instrument was highly reliable. Improvements were most notable in culinary presentation (mean = 4.55), homestay management (mean = 4.48), tour package design (mean = 4.36), and digital content production (mean = 4.29). Despite these positive outcomes, several challenges remain, particularly in standardizing homestay facilities, determining competitive tour package pricing, and strengthening community-based documentation teams. Overall, the EDUKARSA program significantly contributed to enhancing human resource capacity and reinforcing Prabu Village as a sustainable, community-based tourism destination supported by quality services and effective digital promotion.
