Summary

Introduction

Tourism for community development is not a new agenda. The concept and approach of community based tourism development are conceptualized as an alternative strategy to the conventional mass tourism model. The purpose of this research is to carry out a detailed exploration of the development of a tourism village as a vehicle for integrating language education and local potential, to help build the image of a religious tourist destination in the world of tourism. This is an extremely important task because tourist destinations have in the past generally been associated with a life that is far removed from religion and local culture. It is hoped that this research will propose the best practice for developing a religious tourism destination
