Abstract

Tourism Assistance for Village-Owned Enterprises of Rest Area, Karangsari Village, Sapuran, Wonosobo. Karangsari Village has a rest area tourism object which is a natural adventure tourism. The existence of the rest area received a very good reception from the public and local tourists. Based on these developments, Karangsari Village Government has established a village-owned enterprise (BUMDes) named BUMDes Mutiara Karangsari. This BUMDes is expected to be able to accommodate various village-owned business units and synergize with various potential residents. Thus, it will be able to improve the economy of the Karangsari Village community. BUMDes Mutiara Karangsari was only established at the end of 2022, so it has not been able to perform its functions properly. This is because BUMDes administrators do not have the managerial ability of organization, administration, and business management. The purpose of this service is to improve the managerial ability of BUMDes administrators. The implementation of activities in this service is to increase the motivation and institutional managers of BUMDes, carry out training in organizational management, finance, and business management, procure field office space in the rest area to support the activities of the tourism division and carry out focus group discussion (FGD) on the development of the rest area as a business unit with representatives of the village government, BUMDes managers, arts actors, youth and community cadres. Based on the process of implementing the service, it can be concluded that the level of community participation is high (80% attendance), and there is an increase in knowledge in the management of BUMDes. Furthermore, there is also an increase in community awareness in the efforts to realize Karangsari Village as a tourist village.
