<![CDATA[The digitization of local cultural heritage is essential for the preservation and promotion of tourism villages. An international community service initiative by the UIN Palopo 2026 Global Cultural Immersion Program Team—involving representatives from eight countries (Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Indonesia)—aims to develop a proposal for the digitization of cultural weaving tourism in Salurante Hamlet, Rinding Allo Tourism Village, Rongkong Subdistrict, North Luwu. The approach used was participatory and based on cultural immersion through three activities: observation/documentation, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with local stakeholders, and the development of a digitization program. The results include site mapping, the formulation of content requirements, and a digitalization program document containing a digital cultural inventory, photos and videos, a digital catalog, digital storytelling, promotional media, QR codes, data governance, and a sustainability plan. This digitization document, as the primary output, serves as a reference for the development of tourism villages. Cross-national collaboration provides intercultural perspectives and global reach, while still prioritizing community involvement as the foundation for shaping narratives and ensuring data ownership.]]>
