Abstract

This study examines community empowerment strategies to develop Luthu Lamweu Village as a sustainable tourism destination based on community-based tourism (CBT). Strategically located in Sukamakmur District, Aceh Besar Regency, the village boasts significant tourism potential, including natural landscapes, cultural traditions, and local products such as handicrafts and traditional cuisine. However, this potential remains underutilized due to inadequate infrastructure, weak institutional frameworks, limited community capacity in tourism management, and suboptimal promotional efforts. The research utilized a descriptive method with data collected through interviews, questionnaires, observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The findings reveal a high level of community enthusiasm for tourism development, driven by an awareness of its positive economic impacts in improving local livelihoods. A participatory approach, involving skills-based training, institutional capacity building, and strengthening multi-stakeholder collaboration, has been identified as a primary strategic measure. Key recommendations include the implementation of homestay management training, development of creative economic products, conservation of local culture, and sustainable environmental management. Moreover, the establishment of local institutional frameworks, such as tourism management groups (Pokdarwis), is essential for structured and sustainable management of the village’s potential. Collaboration among government bodies, private sectors, academia, and local communities is critical for the successful implementation of these strategies. By adopting a community empowerment-focused and integrated management approach, Luthu Lamweu Village has the potential to become a model for sustainable tourism destinations that balance economic, social, and environmental aspects while serving as an inspiration for other villages in Aceh Besar and beyond.
