The synergy and collaboration established in Sembrani Tourism Village proved rewarding for the Student Association’s Capacity Building Program of Tourism Student Association (PPK Ormawa HIMAPA) team and the residents of Sembrani Village. The team successfully advanced through the visitation stage for the 2024 Abdidaya Ormawa candidates. The visitation is part of an appreciation program by the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Research for student organization teams, lecturers, and village partners involved in community empowerment. The visitation marks a significant milestone, serving as tangible proof of the team’s long journey and reinforcing the role of students as agents of transformation of national development through village empowerment, incorporating agro-tourism and education-based tourism innovations.
