Keywords:
Sport tourism, community-based tourism, community service, Bone RegencyAbstract
Community-based sport tourism development is an innovative strategy to support sustainable regional tourism. Bone Regency has strong natural, cultural, and community potential to support the development of sport tourism; however, synergy among stakeholders remains suboptimal. This Community Service activity aims to strengthen collaboration between higher education institutions and the Bone Regency Tourism Office, as well as to enhance community capacity in designing and managing community-based sport tourism initiatives. The implementation employed a participatory and collaborative approach through several stages, including program socialization and coordination, participatory discussions (Focus Group Discussions), sports science–based training, and mentoring in the design of sport tourism products. The results indicate an increased level of community understanding of sport tourism and community-based tourism concepts, along with the emergence of initial ideas for community-based sport tourism products, such as traditional sport attractions, fitness tourism, and small-scale local recreational sports events. Synergy among higher education institutions, the Tourism Office, and the local community proved to be a key factor in supporting participatory and sustainable sport tourism development. This activity is expected to serve as an initial model for community-based sport tourism development in supporting regional tourism in Bone Regency.
