Abstract

This study aims to analyze the community mentoring process in the development of the Bonto Matinggi tourist village, Maros Regency, as an effort to increase local capacity in managing tourism based on natural and cultural potential. Using a participatory approach, mentoring activities included identifying tourism potential, developing development plans, training the community, and evaluating the program's sustainability. The results showed that mentoring was able to increase community understanding of the importance of sustainable tourism management, particularly in destination management, sanitation, environmental management, digital marketing, and tourist services. The implementation of mentoring also encouraged community participation in decision-making and the management of tourist facilities such as the parking lot and the Sappana waterfall area. Although there were positive results in terms of increased village income and growing local economic opportunities, this study identified obstacles such as limited human resources, low involvement of the younger generation, and environmental issues such as waste management and infrastructure maintenance. The final evaluation confirmed that the program's sustainability requires ongoing capacity building, the formation of tourism management groups, and partnerships with various external parties. Overall, the village tourism mentoring had a significant impact on increasing community independence and the development of the tourism sector, while also emphasizing the importance of collaboration and structured management.
