Strategy for Developing Sandan Bamboo Forest as a Community-Based Tourism Destination in Bali Province

Abstract

The development of nature tourism is part of the policy of utilizing environmental services in protected forests within the social forestry program for forest conservation and improving welfare. The Sandan Bamboo Forest is one of the implementation locations for the synergy between the social forestry program and the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program in Bali Province. The development of the Sandan Bamboo Forest is supported by a community empowerment collaboration within an environmental partnership between PT PLN Indonesia Power UBP Bali and the Wana Kerta Lestari Forest Farmers Group (KTH). Through a SWOT (Strenghts, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Treats) analysis, this study describes the development strategy of the Sandan Bamboo Forest as a community-based nature and agroforestry tourism destination for bamboo cultural preservation education, aligned with the Community-Based Tourism (CBT) concept and a green economy approach.
