Abstract

The solutions of development with a bottom-up pattern can make villagers as the main pillars of regional development. The main key is to educate and make people aware as the main subject of development. This changes from the old paradigm of development which only places the community as an object. The presence of the Community Based Tourism concept is the right concept to use in accelerating regional development on a micro scale. Especially in the Tourism Village of Korong Wonorejo, Sangir District, South Solok Regency. The research problems encountered were the reduced number of volunteer tourism cadres, limited knowledge and skills, lack of ability to make proposals, low awareness of uniqueness, lack of hospitality, lack of infrastructure, and lack of publications and promotions. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a case study design. The results of the study indicate that the efforts made by the youth in developing a tourist village in their area are as follows: (1) training in the management of tourist villages; (2) training on organizing tourist villages; (3) hospitality training; (4) recruitment and cadre training; (5) outreach to the community about development participation; and (6) workshops with government elements.
