According to him, skills such as storytelling techniques are crucial for promoting the history and unique attractions of Sidan Village.
“We hope that through this training, the people of Sidan Village can master the skills to tell compelling stories, thereby impressing tourists and supporting sustainable tourism in Bali,” said Wayan Sukma Winarya Prabawa.
Over two days, participants engaged in intensive training at Kissidan Eco Hill & Retreat, a leading destination promoting the concept of ecotourism. The training focused on techniques for planning tourism products and crafting engaging stories to enhance the attractiveness of Sidan Village.
IB Gede Agung Widana, SH. Dipl.TM. M.Par., Head of the PkM Committee, explained that the program aims to make a tangible contribution to the community through human resource development, particularly in tourism. “We hope that with this guidance, the village community will better understand how to plan tourism products and promote them through strong storytelling,” he explained.
