BALIPORTALNEWS.COM, TABANAN – Bali Tourism Polytechnic and the Tabanan Tourism Office held a Collaborative Institutional Community Service event in Kukuh Village, Marga District, Tabanan, on Friday and Saturday, August 9-10, 2024. The event was themed 'Integrated Tourism Village Transformation: Building Superior Human Resources for Sustainable Tourism in Tabanan Regency.'
Tourism is one of the driving sectors of the economy in Tabanan Regency, especially in Kukuh Village. Alas Kedaton is an iconic site in Kukuh Village that has been well-managed and has provided employment opportunities and business prospects for the local community.

This joint commitment lays the foundation for transforming tourism villages in Tabanan into sustainable tourism models that can serve as examples at both regional and international levels.
