Abstract

A key strategy in promoting village independence is the application of information and communication technology (ICT). ICT utilization programs, however, sometimes only reach the district or sub-district level because villages are frequently treated as objects. ICT is useful for processing data that can be used for planning development, assisting in decision-making, and promoting village tourism in addition to its ability to improve services. The overall goal of this study is to evaluate and encourage village governments to use ICT to promote tourism. Meanwhile, the specific goals of this study are to: 1) define the paradigm of tourism development in 10 villages in Way Ratai District, Pesawaran Regency; 2) identify problems and strategies for implementing ICT in Rural areas; 3) identify an effective and efficient ICT to improve village tourism development. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to achieve the objectives in this study. Researchers took samples from 10 villages in Way Ratai District, Pesawaran Regency. Furthermore, the informants/resources of this research are the Village Head, and the village ICT management employees. The results showed that the villages in Way Ratai District did not fully understand the potential and how to develop the village tourism. The most significant obstacles in the development of village tourism are related to the quality of human resources (HR), the provision of infrastructure and supporting facilities for village tourism, including information and communication technology support is still minimal. However, from the aspect of village and community support for village tourism development is quite large, this can be seen from the planning of the Badan Usaha Milik Desa Bersama (Bumdesma).
