This destination is part of the Nglebak Tourism Village area and possesses significant tourism potential that has yet to be fully realised, particularly in promotional strategies.

The method employed in this program involved the delivery of informative material and interactive engagement through focused group discussions. The results of the activity demonstrated an increased understanding among participants regarding the vital role of digital media in tourism promotion. This outreach initiative is expected to contribute to an increase in tourist visits and foster local economic development in Umbul Udal-Udalan. In conclusion, by providing training on the use of mass media, the local community is encouraged to cultivate awareness of sustainable tourism village management practices that yield positive outcomes for the broader society.
