Abstract

Nagari Tabek Panjang is one of Nagari (local government), which has several attractions located in Kecamatan Baso, Kabupaten Agam. One of them is the Ikan Sakti Sungai Janiah attraction. This attraction lacks tourist facilities for lodging in the form of Homestay. This can be developed by utilizing local community houses and traditional houses in the tourist attraction environment. However, local people do not yet understand how to prepare and manage Homestay that meet the standards. Collaboration between the University and the community is expected to provide a solution to the Improvement of Local Community Knowledge and Skills in Managing Homestay. The purpose of community service activities was to facilitate and help the community in terms of the problem faced. The form of activities that have been carried out is providing training on Homestay management, helping to identify and analyze a proper community house into a Homestay, making a pilot Homestay, and registering a Homestay brand. Besides, training on makeup room and Homestay promotion was also carried out through the Nagari web built by Universitas Negeri Padang and Homestay brochure.
