Upaya Mewujudkan Wisata Edukasi di Kampung Tulip Bandung

The actual phenomenon in the field proves that the development of Kampung Tulip has not been representative enough as a themed education of the Netherlands Culture. Although some of the rides have been built to match the typical homes of the Netherlands, but the activities and educational nuances have not been visible during the observation period in the field. Therefore, community service activities focused on empowerment to improve the educational tourism governance in the destinations of Tulip Village. Implementative steps that have been carried out include: (1) Exploring the core of the problem in developing Tulip Village through observation and interviews with managers; (2) Providing management recommendations through seminar seminars and training on educational tourism and tourism sustainable management to the managers of Tulip Village; (3) Provision of guidance book for educational tourism development in Tulip Village. Fenomena aktual dilapangan membuktikan bahwa pengembangan Kampung Tulip belum cukup representatif sebagai wisata bertema edukasi Budaya Belanda. Walaupun beberapa wahana telah dibangun menyesuaikan rumah-rumah khas Negeri Belanda, tetapi aktifitas wisata bernuansa edukatif belum begitu terlihat selama masa observasi di lapangan. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat difokuskan pada pemberdayaan untuk peningkatan tata kelola destinasi wisata edukasi Kampung Tulip. Langkah implementatif yang telah dilakukan meliputi : (1) Menggali akar permasalahan dalam pengembangan destinasi wisata Kampung Tulip melalui observasi dan wawancara dengan pengelola; (2) Memberikan rekomendasi pengelolaan melalui seminar seminar dan pelatihan pengelolaan wisata edukasi dan pariwisata berkelanjutan kepada pengelola destinasi wisata Kampung Tulip; (3) Penyediaan buku panduan pengembangan wisata edukasi Kampung Tulip.
