Tourism Village Criteria

Tradition

Tradition is one element that can attract travelers to visit. When residents of a village can work together to share the tradition in the public domain, it will certainly attract the attention of tourists, which in turn will make them visit the tourist village.

"Including creative economy products such as souvenirs, fashion, crafts, cuisine, or institutions," said Sandiaga.

Good Sanitation

According to Sandiaga, good sanitation is even of international class, which is an important element in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The cleanliness of a small room is really a support for travelers to visit again.

Certified Homestay

A tourist village should also have lodging accommodations, such as homestays.

The reason is, travelers can come from anywhere, even from abroad. Therefore, it is important for tourist villages to provide lodging accommodations that are CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability) certified.

Natural beauty

Sandiaga said he was sure that every village must have a natural aesthetic. However, not all residents can cultivate that aesthetic. So, it is important to carry out cooperation so that beautiful nature can be processed and become a tourist area.

Creative Content

A tourist village that has complete facilities will not even be known to the public if they do not carry out promotions. So, this computerized era is a wide opportunity for tourist villages to create creative content to attract tourists to visit their area.
