Abstract

This study explores the intersection of the creative economy and gender empowerment in the context of rural tourism development. Focusing on bartender training for women in Batu Putih Bawah Village, Bitung City, Indonesia, the research investigates how vocational skill development in mixology can serve as a strategic entry point for women's participation in the tourism value chain. Drawing from a gender-inclusive development framework and the creative economy paradigm, the study employs a qualitative case study method involving interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings suggest that bartender training not only enhances women's technical competencies but also fosters self-confidence, economic independence, and social recognition. However, structural challenges such as limited market access, traditional gender roles, and a lack of institutional support remain persistent barriers. This research contributes to the discourse on sustainable tourism and inclusive growth by proposing an integrated model for women’s empowerment through creative vocational pathways. The study also provides insights for policymakers, tourism practitioners, and educators seeking to strengthen local capacities and gender equity within emerging tourism destinations.

Abstract

The community service program with the students focuses on Pulisan Village, which is in the Likupang KEK (Special Economic Zone) area and a super-priority tourism destination. Pulisan has many attractions, including beaches, islands, and sea. However, Pulisan also needs new tourist attractions, specifically terrestrial tourist attractions, to distribute tourist visits well. Therefore, a community service program with students is carried out in collaboration with partners, namely tourism care groups entitled Designing the Savana Hill Ecotourism Tracking Route in Pulisan Village, Likupang, North Minahasa Regency. The method used was direct assistance to the community, in this case, the Pulisan Village tourism awareness group responsible for developing the Pulisan Tourism Village. The design of the ecotourism tracking route used mapping technology to determine the direction and location points created, as well as stopping points along the Pulisan Savana Hill tracking route. With the Savana Hill tracking route, tourist visits are focused on the sea, islands, and beaches, and they are distributed to Savana Hill using the designed tracking route. The community service program with students resulted in an output, namely the design of a tracking route with three stopping points (shelters).
