This community service activity aims to analyze the village potential and formulate a sustainable Bayan spiritual ecotourism model as an accelerator for Bayan Village, Bayan District, North Lombok Regency, towards the status of Empowered Village. Bayan Village in North Lombok has unique potential in the form of the sacred site of the Bayan Beleq Ancient Mosque and the local wisdom of Wetu Telu, but this potential is threatened by the risk of commercialization and the lack of structured customary governance.
