Tourism villages in East Java provide an alternative to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of local communities through local economic development. However, there are challenges such as limited infrastructure and lack of skills in managing tourism businesses. Efforts are needed to empower the community and support from the government and private sector to develop sustainable tourism villages. One solution is through training and education programs to improve the skills and knowledge of the community in managing tourism businesses.
