Community Empowerment through Research, Innovation and Open Access

“…Management that is applied by local communities in providing various products or services in tourism activities can continue to develop even without government support. In this context, tourism development is managed based on the interaction between local communities and tourists in providing tourism products or services that can provide experiences in exchanging knowledge (Purnomo et al 2020;Wahyuningtyas et al 2020).…”

“…The impact is that local people get benefits that can be used to improve environmental quality. Therefore, at this stage, tourism managers cannot experience significant economic benefits because the economic benefits are prioritized for quality improvement, which aims to increase the number of tourist visits to existing tourist objects (Purnomo et al 2020;Wahyuningtyas et al 2020).…”
