Building A Creative Economy in a Tourism Village Through the Creation of Seaweed Products

Abstract

Empowering Women in the Development of the creative economy in Tourism Villages aims to improve the welfare of village communities through empowering women by strengthening women's groups in developing creative products through MSMEs. The target of this activity is the MSME group in the tourist village. For tourist villages located on the coast, creative product development can be created from seaweed. Seaweed is one of the potentials that exist in tourist villages on the coast, a village potential produced by fishing groups. The method for implementing this activity is carried out using several approaches and is divided into 3 activities, namely preparation, implementation and monitoring, evaluation. The seaweed-based products produced include seaweed crackers with onion flavor, shrimp, seaweed jam, seaweed nuggets and seaweed tempura. With seaweed as the basic ingredient, you won't have any difficulty finding the basic ingredients because seaweed is abundant on the beach. It is hoped that by creating it, it can build the village economy and gradually increase family income and improve the welfare of the community.
