Community training and mentoring in managing homestays around Tebing Tegallinggah Temple aims to improve the capacity of local communities in providing quality accommodation that can meet tourist expectations and support the development of community-based tourism in the area. By identifying the lack of accommodation options close to the site, this program seeks to address accessibility issues and increase the attractiveness of Tebing Tegallinggah Temple as a cultural tourism destination. The research method used is a qualitative approach with primary data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation, as well as secondary data from literature and related reports.
