<![CDATA[This community service program focuses on the development of sustainable "Sungai Space" tourism in Yamansari Village, Tegal. While the village possesses significant natural potential, it faces multidimensional constraints. The main problems include limited supporting infrastructure, low knowledge of modern tourism management, minimal English language skills, restricted utilization of information technology, and a weak understanding of the local economy. The program aims to empower the community through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates infrastructure improvement, English language training, digital technology utilization, and strengthening the creative economy. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), actively involving the community in every stage, from planning and implementation to evaluation. The program was implemented over four months, involving 25 participants from various community elements. Intensive training was provided in English for tourism, digital marketing, business management, and promotional website creation. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, FGDs, participatory observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The program's results show a significant improvement in English communication skills, digital competencies, and understanding of sustainable tourism management. The community successfully developed a website design and promotional social media, implemented an online booking system, and increased participation in the planning and maintenance of infrastructure. The PAR approach proved effective in creating contextual and sustainable solutions by fostering a sense of ownership and collective responsibility. This program has successfully laid a strong foundation for transforming Yamansari Village into a professional and competitive community-based tourist destination. Program sustainability is recommended through continuous training and the development of strategic partnerships with external parties for funding, technology transfer, and market expansion.
