Tourism villages offer a strategic approach to local economic development and cultural preservation. Celuk Village in Gianyar, Bali, is known for its silver craftsmanship and educational tourism activities. However, the sustainability of its tourism enterprises relies heavily on sound financial management. This community engagement initiative aimed to strengthen financial literacy and practices among local business actors—Silver Class workshops, tubing operators, restaurants, and village-owned enterprises (BUMDes)—through training, mentoring, and participatory evaluation. The results indicate improved participant understanding of financial recording, budgeting, and cash flow management. Questionnaire evaluations revealed high satisfaction levels (average score of 4.21 out of 5), with activity relevance and facilitator quality receiving the highest marks. This initiative demonstrates that strengthening financial governance is a strategic pathway toward empowering and sustaining tourism villages.
