.


INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is an archipelago spanning from Sabang to Merauke in the east, rich in natural resources and boasting a plethora of languages, tribes, religions, customs, and cultures.There are also numerous locations throughout the country which offer great potential as distinctive tourist destinations, providing significant benefits to the state.According to Presidential Instruction No. 16 of 2005, tourism plays a vital role in promoting economic development in Indonesia, as it generates foreign exchange, creates job opportunities, and enhances business prospects for the local community.Moreover, tourism has the potential to enhance the quality of life, particularly for those living in the vicinity of tourist destinations.Thus, tourism has the potential to enhance the well-being of the community in terms of both material and spiritual aspects, as well as enhance cultural and intellectual welfare.Consequently, it is imperative to approach the development of the tourism sector in a serious, well-planned, and professional manner.This will facilitate the utilisation and expansion of tourism assets as a key sector in the development process, while also attracting local and International tourists in the future.
Tourism is a decisive factor for development in Indonesia.It represents a strategic and lively sector in addition to the oil, gas, and mining sectors.Indonesia's tourism industry has attained a prominent position both nationally and internationally.The Kemenparekraf Strategic Plan 2020-2024 specifies that Kemenparekraf enhances economic resilience to achieve highquality and equitable growth.To achieve this, Kemenparekraf/Baparekraf is actively supporting the priority program of enhancing the carrying capacity and quality of economic resources as a means of achieving sustainable economic development.There is a wealth of natural and cultural resources, spanning from Sabang to Merauke, that hold great potential as tourism commodities to be further developed through tourism-related activities.The promotion of the creative economy that began in 2015 can be fostered successfully through a populist economy that leverages the diverse creativity of the nation's children.Craft, culinary, fine arts, product design, and video design are amongst the potential creative outlets that can be encouraged through the tourism ministry programme.
The creation of ten priority tourist destinations aligns with the requirements of Government Regulation No. 50 of 2011 regarding RIPPARNAS, which is linked to the President of the Republic of Indonesia's Nawacita programme.These ten tourist destinations of high priority are listed in Government Regulation No. 50 of 2011, Article 13, Paragraph (1), Letter a, which pertains to the Development of Detailed Development Plans for National Tourism Strategic Areas (KSPN) and Law No. 39 of 2009 on Special Economic Zones (KEK).The ten destinations under consideration comprise Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Tanjung Kelayang in Bangka Belitung, Tanjung Lesung in Banten, Kepulauan Seribu in DKI Jakarta, Borobudur and its environs in Central Java, Bromo Tengger Semeru in East Java, Labuan Bajo in NTT, Wakatobi in Southeast Sulawesi, Morotai Island in North Maluku, and Mandalika in NTB.Alongside the establishment of ten crucial tourist destinations, the Indonesian government -with a focus on the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) -aims to develop tourist villages in accordance with the 2020-2024 RPJMN.Kemenparekraf's objective is to certify 244 tourist villages as independent tourist villages by 2024.A tourist village integrates attractions, accommodation, and supporting facilities into a community structure with prevailing procedures and traditions (Nuryanti, wiendu, 1993).Local community activities, such as farming, animal husbandry, and gardening, offer tourists an interesting and memorable experience, encouraging them to revisit in the future.The tourist village should also consider the accommodation options for visitors from distant locations, such as homestays and other facilities that can extend the duration of their stay.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION Creative tourism attraction development model in Batu Kumbung tourism village Batu Kumbung Village towards Tourism Village
Development of a model or concept for digital economy-based tourism in Batu Kumbung village.Historically an administrative village, the primary potential of Batu Kumbung relied on agriculture in 2007 and 2009.However, coinciding with activities from the Ministry of Communication and Information, the Batu Kumbung village community began advocating for youth programmes.At the outset of the initiative, the aim was to gather information regarding the Batukumbung village profile, with a focus on agriculture, fisheries, demographics, and community economy data.The youth group failed to sustain the programme due to the lack of commitment from the Batu Kumbung village government..
In 2013, a number of leaders from Batukumbung village discussed strategies to promote economic growth.The following year, the Batu kumbung youth group launched a programme aimed at strengthening the village's internal network and further developing the Batukumbung community.As of 2018, the communication infrastructure within the village has undergone some improvements, which have resulted in better support for the completion of Batukumbung village profiles.
The community group created a GPS-based programme (role model) to assess the village's condition.The model contains data on the location, number, facilities, and infrastructure of the village, including mapping of electricity poles, village road infrastructure, houses, data on residents, buildings, and surroundings.The language is clear, formal, and objective, with a logical flow of information.The text is grammatically correct and free from spelling and punctuation errors.The model contains data on the location, number, facilities, and infrastructure of the village, including mapping of electricity poles, village road infrastructure, houses, data on residents, buildings, and surroundings.Clarification of technical terms is provided where necessary.The presented information serves as a definitive data source for the Batu Kumbung Village apparatus to understand the village's conditions.The village's development plans were agreed upon by various groups, including the youth organisation, DPD, LPM, community sports groups, and the village government in 2018.This led to a commitment between the village government and the youth's aspirations, resulting in the creation of a digital economy-based tourism village in the 2018 RPJM.

Development of Batu Kumbung village tourism attractions
The creation of tourist attractions in Batukumbung Village was initiated in 2019, with the support of RP.300 million from the village's BUMDES (Pokdarwis Desawisata Batukumbung, 2023).The first step involved the construction of a vehicle swimming pool located in Manggong Hamlet.The Manggong Swimming Pool boasts a natural spring water source, which originates from one of the sizeable springs in Manggong Hamlet.The site's tourism infrastructure, consisting of easy access, state-of-the-art amenities and locally-owned UMKMs, attracts numerous domestic visitors.
In addition to the swimming pool, various creative economic tourism attractions have been established, such as the processing of catfish into several products, including shredded catfish and catfish skin crackers.These products have expanded their reach beyond the Java region.There is potential for these processed catfish products to bolster tourism in the Batukumbung tourism village.Other products in development include candied tomatoes and souvenirs packaged with bulayak satay.
