Implementation of information technology on the publication and promotion of mangrove eco-tourism in Sisarahili, Teluk Siabang village

The mangrove forests that stretch along the coast of the Nias islands have great potential to improve the economy of the surrounding communities. One of the largest and most extensive mangrove areas is in Ba'a bay, located in Sisarahili bay, Siabang village, Sawo District, North Nias Regency. Mangrove forest turns out to be a natural resource and tourism potential that is crowded with visitors, supported by its existence in a wide stretch of coastline. However, the development of tourism potential still needs to be done to further increase the arrival of both domestic and foreign tourists. Several things have been done to support increased publication and promotion by increasing the human resources of tourism awareness groups through training and workshops, improving facilities and infrastructure, transportation and accommodation and also the application of information technology media to maximize publication and promotion, so that visitors are not only local people but also from outside the region. The use of page-based information technology and social media as media is implemented to support publication and promotion in accordance with the results of a survey conducted by the community service team for visitors who come. As many as 65% of visitors get information about mangrove tourism in Teluk ba'a from printed social media and 15% from websites / pages, while 20% get information from friends, online newspapers and communities around the mangrove tourism environment.

Denai Kuala Village, a coastal village, is a destination for developing photo tourism potential by utilizing natural conditions that are still natural, located in Pantai Labu District, Deli Serdang. Geographical conditions that are still natural, can still be developed as a tourist destination, although demographically it is very possible urbanization. This becomes necessary to get its own attention, because of this condition, one of the solutions is to provide science and technology to the community in order to develop the natural, cultural, and Human Resources potential that is available to increase people's income. If the welfare of the community increases, it will automatically reduce the level of urbanization. In fact, if the growth is significant enough, urban people will flock back to the village and advance their homeland. Based on the results of discussions with the Medan Area University PKM implementation team with the Indonesian Women's Union (SPI) as partners, the problem resolution will be done based on priority scale.

Many people use furniture with a choice of wood raw materials. Likewise with Tangkal choosing wood raw materials with the Trembesi type. Tangkal Furniture is located on Jalan Cisaranten Wetan, Cinambo District, Bandung City.

The production site is still joined by a residence so it has limited space. The main problems experienced by Tangkal Furniture are the lack of equipment to support the production process, difficulty in working on marketing through social media and direct marketing (direct marketing) and determining market segmentation, lack of marketing techniques in determining the middle to upper segment with quality raw materials of trembesi, and inadequate financial records.
