Women have a significant role in supporting food security through women's empowerment programs in the tourism sector. Empowering women in the tourism sector can help improve the family economy. The training held in this activity aims to train and introduce information technology to local communities, especially women who are active as tourism entrepreneurs. The material presented includes information on how to manage business finances and digital literacy so that it can improve the quality of products sold. This training program is a form of women's empowerment to support food security and the achievement of SDGs 2030. Thirty people participated in this training activity. The results of the training activity showed that participants had a better understanding of how to process finances and use Android-based sales technology applications. This training activity includes three stages: 1) Introduction and training in business financial management and using Android in tourism businesses, 2) Mentoring, and 3) Practice.  The implication of this training-based research is that tourism business actors can be more familiar with the use of applications that are utilized for tourism business activities. Tourism business actors, especially women, can have a significant impact on community economic growth which directly supports the achievement of SDGs 2030 through increased tourism business productivity.
