Abstrak: Desa Kahyapu Pulau Enggano memiliki kekayaan sumber daya alam pesisir dan laut yang dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu destinasi pariwisata bahari di pesisir barat Pulau Sumatera. Pengembangan wisata bahari di Desa Kahyapu belum optimal dilakukan sehingga perlu meningkatkan promosi melalui media cetak seperti leaflet. Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemandirian Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Podipo) Desa Kahyapu Pulau Enggano melalui peningkatan promosi wisata bahari pesisir. Metode pengabdian dilakukan melalui sosialisasi dan penyuluhan terkait penyusunan paket wisata bahari dan penyusunan leaflet/flyer sebagai media promosi kepada Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis) Podipo yang beranggotakan 33 orang serta evaluasi berupa angket sebelum dan sesudah pemberian program pengabdian. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 95% Pokdarwis Podipo puas terhadap program pengabdian dan telah sepenuhnya memahami terkait konsep wisata bahari, namun perlu peningkatan dan variasi media promosi seperti pemanfaatan media sosial online sebagai sarana promosi.Abstract: Kahyapu Village, Enggano Island, has a wealth of coastal and marine natural resources that can be used as a marine tourism destination on the west coast of Sumatra Island. Marine tourism development in Kahyapu Village has yet to be carried out optimally, so it is necessary to increase promotion through leaflets. This community service program aims to improve the knowledge and independence of the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis Podipo) of Kahyapu Village, Enggano Island, by increasing the promotion of coastal marine tourism. The community service program method is carried out through socialization and counselling regarding the preparation of marine tourism packages and preparation of leaflets/flyers as promotional media for the Podipo Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis), which has 33 members, as well as evaluation in the form of questionnaires before and after providing the service program. The service results show that as many as 95% of Pokdarwis Podipo are satisfied with the service program and fully understand the concept of marine tourism. Still, there is a need for improvement and variety in promotional media, such as online social media as a tourism promotional tool.
