After experiencing difficult times during the global pandemic throughout 2020-2021, tourism conditions in DIY Province are starting to improve. However, DIY still has big problems in the tourism sector, namely lack of involvement of local communities, focusing on regional income without thinking about environmental sustainability, and lack of innovation in sustainable tourism concepts. Therefore, this community service aims to solve the main tourism problem by focusing activities in Dlingo District, Bantul Regency because Dlingo has great natural potential for ecotourism but this potential has not been developed optimally. The main target of this activity is women members of the ecoprinter community. Supporting participants are POKDARWIS administrators. To solve tourism problems, this activity uses training methods with lecture, discussion and practice approaches. The result of this activity is that awareness is raised that ecotourism can be packaged more innovatively through ecoprint activities which can become a tourist attraction.
Organizing offline training activities regarding Making "Ecoprint Ecotourism" Tour Packages
It is hoped that the activities carried out will provide various benefits for rural communities in particular and the tourism industry in general, namely: A. Benefits for Community Service Activity Targets (Women Ecoprint Craftsmen) Women ecoprinters become more empowered, especially economically because they have the opportunity to earn income. The fact that Dlingo is the sub-district with the second highest number of poor people in Bantul Regency is a strong reason to make women more empowered so that they can contribute to lifting their families out of the trap of poverty. B. Benefits for Community Service Locations (Dlingo) It is hoped that this community service activity can optimize the potential of existing cultural tourism villages through adjustments to the tour packages offered. Apart from that, it is hoped that this activity can make this tourist village a model for other villages that have the potential to be developed into cultural tourism villages. D. Benefits for Pokdarwis Dlingo It is hoped that this community service activity can stimulate the creativity of Pokdarwis administrators through designing innovative, adaptive and collaborative tour packages so that the tour packages offered have multiple effects, namely economic effects, community welfare as well as the effects of tourism sustainability and environmental awareness. C. Benefits for other villages in Bantul Regency It is hoped that this community service activity will have an impact on exploring the potential of other areas in Bantul Regency which have not developed innovative and educational ecotourism into developing and even advanced tourist villages so that the people will have a source of livelihood that can help them be more empowered. E. Benefits for the Tourism Industry and Economy The direct impact of this activity is the formation of community economic empowerment, especially rural communities in DIY Province, through developing the potential of ecotourism-based natural tourism villages. Apart from that, through this activity it is hoped that the environment will remain sustainable, sustainable tourism will be developed, and local community involvement will be high. The indirect impact of this activity is the application of this activity model in other provinces in Indonesia so that it can strengthen their economic conditions and ultimately strengthen the tourism industry and the national economy. Benefits of this activity for the Bandung Institute of Technology (both KK and F/S): A. Support multidisciplinary activities in social, cultural, tourism and economic sciences because this activity focuses on one of the creative industries, namely tourism, as well as economic empowerment and economic resilience; B. Support ITB's real contribution to society so that the myth of universities as ivory towers can be dispelled.
