This paper assesses the capacity-building program for tour guides in Pokdarwis KWIK Berkah Mandiri at Adiluhur Tourism Village, aimed at supporting Kebumen Regency’s bid for UNESCO Global Geopark status by 2024. The program utilizes a participatory approach with intensive training and workshops to enhance knowledge, communication skills, and storytelling related to local geological and cultural heritage. English language training is also included to improve interactions with international tourists.
