Abstract 

Rapid technological development not only has a positive effect on edu-

cation, the negative impact is given such as lack of movement even in a 

game on the device. Traditional games that are almost extinct can be pre-

served for preservation as well as an attraction in educational tourism. 

The purpose of the study was to understand that the conservation of tra-

ditional games as a value of local wisdom can be an educational tourist 

attraction. This research uses qualitative to uncover the meaning of re-

search results with case study techniques. The results of exploration of 

traditional game conservation in Kampung Adat Banceuy can be benefi-

cial for education, destinations, and also local culture. Educational tour-

ism not only provides benefits for researchers, but for tourists where rec-

reation can be done while learning directly. 

Keywords: educational tourism; traditional games; wisdom local value. 

 

 

INTRODUCTION 

 

Background 

The rapid development of science, 

technology and information certainly 

brings a lot of positive value but not a little 

negative impact. One of the technological 

advances today makes the shift in chil-

dren's interest to play and socialize with 

others. Many children prefer to use their 

time by playing gadgets. This resulted in 

traditional games that had good value 

slowly starting to be abandoned. Many 

possible negative things that children can 

do through gadgets that are feared can form 

a less good character such as individualis-

tic attitude and less sensitive to the sur-

roundings. According to Ben (2013:168) 

tourism should benefit and contribute the 

following: 1) Preservation of culture and 

customs, 2) Improved public intelligence, 

3) Improved health and freshness, 4) 

Maintenance of natural and environmental 

resources, 5) Preservation of ancient relics 

and cultural heritage of the past. The life of 

villagers who still maintain the values of 

local wisdom can attract tourists to visit 

and the existence of tourist villages can be 

one alternative to offset the development of 

this shifting trend. Tourists with various 

motivations travel to tourist villages in or-

der to enjoy people's lives, interact actively 

in various activities and learn local culture. 

Learning tourism can be viewed as a 

continuum ranging from general interest 

learning or exposure while traveling to pur-

poseful learning and travel (Ritchie, Carr 

and Cooper, 2003). The aim of an

educational trip in the rural areas is: to 

know the life and activity of the farmers, to 

create a positive image of the agriculture in 

the eyes of the next generations/ urban res-

ident consumers  (Petroman et al., 2016). 

Kampung adat Banceuy is a village 

that still maintains the values inherited by 

its ancestors, its people live in a rural at-

mosphere that still preserves cultural val-

ues including one of which is a traditional 

game that is still carried out by the children 

of Kampung Adat Banceuy and can cur-

rently be a tourist attraction. With this tra-

ditional game, tourists can enjoy the value 

of culture, nature and participate in various 

typical traditional games. To find out the 

various traditional games that have the 

value of local wisdom and explore the 

value of local wisdom that becomes a tour-

ist attraction, it is necessary to conduct re-

search with qualitative research method 

approaches. 

Today many children do not know 

traditional games as cultural assets in their 

area and replace them with modern games 

when many noble values are contained in 

traditional games such as, responsibility, 

cooperation, sportsmanship, thoroughness 

and much more. By visiting Kampung 

Adat Banceuy, traditional games can be 

felt to provide experiences and form crea-

tivity, high social spirit, and a sense of re-

spect for the environment. In addition, 

tourist visits, especially children will get 

entertainment and relaxation and nostalgia 

(reminiscing about the past) when seeing 

and participating in traditional fun games. 

The direct experience of playing traditional 

games that are still preserved by the natives 

while enjoying the cultural value of the 

community and the natural beauty of the 

countryside can be the first blend of educa-

tional tourism that attract children's tour-

ists. Dumouchel (2003) states that outdoor 

education can increase students' awareness 

of nature through direct observation. The 

journey to increase knowledge is not new, 

but research on this is still a little where the 

literature has not been focused and is still 

scattered (Abubakar, Shneikat and Akile 

Oday, 2014). 

 

METHODS 

 

Qualitative methods are used in this 

study so that the identification of cultural 

communities then understands directly in 

the activities of the community how they 

behave (John W Creswell & Creswell, 

2018). This study uses case study tech-

niques to uncover the results of research 

(Ritchie et al., 2005). This case study tech-

nique provides researchers with the oppor-

tunity to explore research more than once 

with more than one source of information 

to understand the individuals and groups 

that are the object of the study (John W 

Creswell et al., 2007).  

Natural arrangement and sourced 

from primary data is a technique of data 

collection in qualitative research. Re-

searchers made Kampung Adat Banceuy, 

Sanca Village, Subang Regency as a re-

search object to collect data. The data col-

lected consists of several types such as par-

ticipant observation, interviews, documen-

tation and focus group discussions. 

Data collection techniques are done 

by observing directly to the community or 

called participation observation (J.W. Cre-

swell, 2017). Therefore, the subject that is 

used as a source of information to be inter-

viewed is the chairman of Kampung Adat 

Banceuy, cultural actors, and local people 

who understand the surrounding culture, in 

addition to interviews also conducted to 

tourists on tour. The selection of inform-

ants is based on the snowball sampling 

technique, where the sample will continue 

until the information obtained is accurate 

and can answer the results of the study. Af-

ter various processes are carried out to ob-

tain data, qualitative processes are carried 

out and then describe the research in the 

form of descriptions.

RESULTAND DISCUSSION 

 

Results  

Edu-Ecotourism as Character Educa-

tion Based on the Natural Environment 

Based on the results of this analysis, 

it is known that there is a potential tourist 

attraction to be developed through the CBT 

approach. Three tourist attractions can be 

developed through the coding process of 

interview transcripts that researchers have 

carried out. The following describes the 

data validity test by comparing the results 

of observations, interviews, and literature 

studies. Educational tourism is one of the 

famous sub-types of tourism in the world 

today (Rodger. D., 1998). Edu-tourism is 

any type of program inwhich participants 

travel to a location either individually or in 

a group with the primary motive engaging 

in or having a learning experience. It is 

comprised of several sub-types including 

ecotourism, heritage tourism, rural/farm 

tourism, and student exchanges between 

educational institutions (Yusof et al., 

2011). 

Educational tourism conducted in 

the natural environment can provide a 

character education. In addition, by utiliz-

ing the existing culture in a destination, 

various values of local wisdom can appear 

like traditional games that can be utilized. 

Unfortunately, based on the results of ob-

servations for 6 months in Kampung Adat 

Banceuy, no one has explored the potential 

value of local wisdom reflected in tradi-

tional games owned by the people of Kam-

pung Adat Banceuy. The application of the 

concept of edu-tourism can provide dis-

course to increase education awareness 

through the existence of community com-

munities that still enjoy the value of local 

wisdom and the natural environment from 

an early age. The implementation of the 

edu-tourism concept is believed to be an 

intrusion in improving the level of educa-

tion of today's young generation. 

 Lam et al., 2011 stated that edu-tour-

ist motivations are widely influenced by 

the commonality of language, historical or 

colonial links between the home and host 

nations, geographic proximity and the ac-

cessibility of science and technology-based 

programs. Seeing this well-maintained nat-

ural environment can have an influence on 

increasing the interest of tourists to travel 

educationally. 

Nature-based tourism, especially 

forest tourism is one of the important forms 

of educational tourism, are includes natural 

eco-systems, diversification of the local 

floral and fauna, natural conservation 

(Bhuiyan et al., 2010). The natural envi-

ronment that is still maintained naturalness 

can be used as an open nature library that 

provides learning materials that include; 

water, air, energy, and land. Kampung 

Adat Banceuy has natural wealth that is 

still maintained, namely having customary 

forests that store biodiversity. 

The attraction of natural tourism 

with eduwisata program can be a medium 

for the development of talent and environ-

mental education as early as possible in ad-

dition to introducing learners to environ-

mental problems, through planting the 

right perspective and attitude towards na-

ture. So it is expected that they have a high 

concern for the environment (DUmouchel, 

2003).  

The potential of biological natural 

resources and ecosystems needs to be de-

veloped and utilized as well as possible for 

the welfare of the people (Fitriana, 2018). 

Therefore, Kampung Adat Banceuy as an 

area that has abundant natural resources 

needs to be preserved and utilized, in order 

to achieve prosperity for its people. Then 

the preservation that has been done can be 

developed as a sustainable tourist attrac-

tion, in addition to recreation can also be 

used as a different type of education and 

more fun.

 Syahrir et al., (2019) conveying that 

the benefits of educational tourism include; 

1) Provoke a child's interest in certain 

things, 2) Add information obtained in 

school, 3) Real and true experiences expe-

rienced directly by children, 4) Insight and 

knowledge will increase, 5) Increase the 

child's knowledge and knowledge and add 

vocabulary for children, 6) Social skills in-

crease, 7) Attitude of appreciating the work 

and services of others will be embedded,  

8) Children are more creative and not pas-

sive. 

Educational tourism provides an ex-

cellent role for the education of children's 

character from an early age, this can be 

maximized if it combines educational tour-

ism in an open environment. The support-

ive atmosphere and cultural and life values 

that are still attached to tourist destinations 

can provide maximum results for character 

education. 

 

Educational Tourism Patterns as Char-

acter Education Media Based on Local 

Wisdom Values 

Kampung Adat Banceuy still has a 

large land area so that local children can 

carry out traditional games without any in-

terference from motor vehicles so that chil-

dren can play safely. Based on the explora-

tion and analysis conducted, it can be un-

derstood that efforts to preserve the value 

of traditional games in Kampung Adat 

Banceuy can provide good character value 

for the local community, and tourists and 

can provide a pleasant tourist experience 

through some traditional games. 

Through traditional games that con-

tain meaning and the cultivation of social 

values in each individual's behavior. This 

is because traditional games that are done 

together can train interaction and socializ-

ing with their peers. In addition, the addi-

tion of insights on how to make toys can be 

used as education for children to increase 

creativity. Here are some traditional games 

that can provide education through the val-

ues of local wisdom in Kampung Adat 

Banceuy: 

1. Gusur Upih 

This game is usually done on the 

ground or fielded using a simple tool that 

is in the form of a jambé tree or an old betel 

nut tree that falls to the ground commonly 

called upih. Gusur upih is often played by 

boys because it requires strong energy to 

attract the upih. 

The trick to play gusur upih is a 

group consisting of two or more people de-

pending on the size of the betel nut or 

jambe and each has a task, one person pulls 

upih which is usually done by a child who 

is large and stronger energy and one person 

or more sits on the back of the upih shed-

ding. The base of the upih is a part that has 

the width of the game is done on a rather 

slippery ground where the upih can slide 

and does not make it difficult for people 

who pull upih. 

Participants of the game are unlim-

ited as long as the tools are available, to 

add to the excitement of this game made 

the match by determining the start track 

and finish line. The group that is declared 

champion is the group that first reaches the 

end of the track whose distance has been 

agreed upon by all participants. Gusur 

Upih game can train children's ability to try 

and work hard. In addition, the willingness 

to do teamwork and sportsmanship.  

 

2. Engklek 

Engklek is one of the interesting 

games that are often played by children and 

teenagers in Kampung Adat Banceuy. This 

game can be played by some people there 

are no definite conditions. The medium re-

quired in engklek game is very simple, be-

fore playing all that must be prepared is to 

form a trajectory drawn tiles. The medium 

used to draw tiles usually uses precarious 

pieces or small stones or it can also be with 

chalk writing. After that prepare a stone

blade or precarious piece to be thrown by 

the player on the drawing of the plot, then 

the player will jump in accordance with the 

applicable rules. 

The trajectory of the game is gener-

ally made above ground or if you want to 

clean can be done in the yard of the house. 

How to play engklek is by throwing stone 

blades or precarious as their tools on each 

track, they cross the track by foot tiptoeing 

every track that has been made, who 

quickly completes the entire series of 

games, he has the right to choose one area 

of the engklek track to be his and only the 

person who wins the area can step on the 

track while the other participants should 

not step on the area.  Even if the area hin-

ders their game.  

Based on this engklek game, the ed-

ucation that can be accepted is to train bal-

ance and focus when playing. In addition, 

it can also introduce to math lessons, where 

there are semicircular images, squares, and 

rectangles. Training makes strategies and 

decision-making quickly and precisely 

when throwing stones. 

 

3. Jajangkungan 

If you visit Kampung Adat Banceuy 

in the afternoon many children who play in 

the yard and also some play in the field. 

One of the traditional games that are often 

done is jajangkungan or elsewhere in West 

Java also many who call it egrang. This 

game is widely done by children aged 7 

(seven) to 13 (thirteen) years even some 

teenagers and adults also often do it just a 

fad for entertainment. Not infrequently 

kindergarten-age children in Kampung 

Adat Banceuy are also good at playing ja-

jangkungan. 

The game is made of bamboo made 

of two equal parts Length with each about 

2.5 (two commas five) meters to 3 (three) 

meters. Then make two more pieces of 

bamboo each about 20 (twenty) cm for 

footrests. Furthermore, one of the long 

bamboo segments is perforated to include 

a short-sized bamboo. After the short-sized 

bamboo for footrests is installed, then the 

tallness made of bamboo is ready for use. 

How to do this game there is played for 

speed races and there are shootouts to bring 

down opponents. If playing jajangkungan 

to complain about speed, then the players 

are at the start line, if there is already a start 

then the players will try as quickly as pos-

sible by using the curve to the finish line. 

The player who is declared victorious is the 

first to get to the finish line. If the game to 

bring down the opponent, then two players 

each face off after boarding and there is al-

ready aba-aba start then they will drop each 

other by hitting the opponent's bamboo 

legs. The player who succeeds in knocking 

down the opponent is then declared the 

winner. 

The game is also often used as a race 

on Independence Day events on every 17th 

(seventeen) August or often called Augus-

tan. This game is usually played on a field 

or a quiet street. Many benefits can be ob-

tained from this jajangkungan game in ad-

dition to being seen as a fun, challenging, 

and not expensive game to make the game 

tool. The game also trains hard work, te-

nacity, and sportsmanship. The value of 

hard work can be reflected in the spirit of 

the players who try to be winners. The 

value of tenacity is reflected in the process 

of making tools that require tenacity so that 

when used to run the tool is balanced and 

easy to use. The value of sportsmanship is 

reflected in honesty and not cheating when 

playing games and also accepting defeat 

with airy chest. 

 

4. Gatrik 

Gatrik is one of the traditional 

games that are still often done by children 

in Kampung Adat Banceuy because it in-

cludes interesting games and is done in 

groups. The tools used in this game are two 

pieces of wood, one measuring about 30

(thirty) cm and the other measuring shorter 

measuring approximately 10 (ten) cm. In 

addition to pieces of wood, two stones are 

also needed to store short sticks. 

The game starts by creating two 

groups then suits to determine which group 

first gets a turn to play. How to play gatrik 

is to store small pieces of bamboo between 

two stones and then hit by a long bamboo 

stick until the bamboo floats as far as pos-

sible so that it cannot be captured by other 

groups on guard. 

The team that is on guard trying to 

catch a short bamboo, if it manages to catch 

then the members of the group who are get-

ting a turn to play will put a long bamboo 

on a brick with a transverse position. Then 

the group of guards would throw a short 

bamboo towards the long bamboo. If the 

short bamboo touches the long bamboo, 

then there is a change of turn to play to the 

group of guards. If the guard is unable to 

catch the short bamboo, then the group that 

is getting a turn to play is entitled to hit 

back the short bamboo thrown by the guard 

team. 

The batting team will continue to hit 

several times until one time the hit misses, 

if it fails then the next person from the 

group will continue until the last person's 

turn. Once finished, the opposing group 

will reward the sling with a benchmark dis-

tance from the last small bamboo that is 

thrown up to the stone where the beginning 

of the game begins. The further the short 

bamboo is thrown, the guard team will 

carry its opponent further and the group of 

guards will be more tired of carrying. 

Just like other traditional games this gatrik 

game provides a number of benefits includ-

ing being able to train accuracy, dexterity, 

prudence and solid cooperation. In addi-

tion, because it is played in groups, it can 

train in order to socialize and be able to ac-

cept defeat. 

 

 

Model of Conservation of Traditional 

Games as Educational Tourism Con-

taining Local Wisdom Values 

Tourist attractions are closely asso-

ciated with cultural and natural attractions, 

but the game is a supporting attraction that 

can further enrich the tourist attraction. 

Traditional games that can form children's 

characters can be explored to become edu-

cational tourism. In addition to doing tradi-

tional games should also be invited to 

make their own traditional toys, so that 

tourists get knowledge and experience how 

to utilize the materials in the surrounding 

environment into a fun and loaded game 

containing noble value. Through toys and 

games, the activities of human life are in-

troduced through all the basic abilities of 

the body; among others throwing, kicking, 

hearing, hitting and the like. Such life ac-

tivities become a medium of knowledge of 

bodily functions (Alif, Sachari and Sabana, 

2015). Play activities have a positive im-

pact in addition to satisfaction can also 

train themselves in using various body 

functions owned, so as to create a healthy 

and fit body, especially for children. 

For children who do less physical 

activity by utilizing traditional games the 

ability to control objects, locomotor abili-

ties and motor skills are low. Traditional 

games are structured and done well will af-

fect the psychomotor, cognitive and emo-

tional development of the child (Wahidah, 

Nurlaela and Nafa, 2021). By developing 

this ability, it will train children's mindset 

to be more creative and active in exploring 

things. Playing active games today is rarely 

found in urban areas, but can still be en-

joyed in the countryside. Kampung Adat 

Banceuy as a tourist village still preserves 

the traditional game culture that can be 

used as an attraction for tourists. In addi-

tion, children's tourists can travel educa-

tionally in this traditional village by enjoy-

ing the natural atmosphere that is still 

beautiful.

The use of tourist villages as educa-

tional places can provide inspiration to ed-

ucators to create effective and interesting 

learning for students. This research has re-

sulted in a model as follows: 

 
Figure 1. Traditional Game Conservation 

Model as An Educational Tourism Con-

taining Local Wisdom Values 

 

Educational tourism through tradi-

tional games is considered quite effective, 

through 3 stages, among others; 1) Making 

games, traditional toys are usually made by 

natural materials that exist in nature that 

are then utilized by the surrounding com-

munity, by knowing how to make games 

then children will be trained to think 

quickly and high spirits to find materials in 

nature, 2) Knowing the rules of the game, 

toys that have been made should also be 

made rules, with the rules children will be 

trained to sportive in playing and avoid 

cheating,  3) Activities in the game, chil-

dren who have made toys and understand 

how to play then move according to the 

tools and rules, in this case various games 

have different benefits depending on the 

game played. 

Traditional games are generally an 

expression of indigenous culture that con-

tributes to the identity of humanity has 

been much lost, and even if there are still 

endangered due to the influence of global-

ization and harmonization of the diversity 

of the world's sporting heritage (Boro, Dai-

mary and Narzaree, 2015). Therefore, the 

creation of a narrative about traditional 

game playing activities can be done as a 

conservation effort. 

Traditional games must be pre-

served because of the nation's culture and 

ancestral heritage that is full of meaning 

and benefits that can be obtained from such 

traditional games. As good citizens we 

should preserve the traditional game to 

maintain its existence. Traditional games 

are not just games, but there are cultural 

values and elements attached to them. In 

Indonesia, every region has a traditional 

game that has the characteristics and deep 

meaning of the game. Socialization of tra-

ditional games and narrative making of the 

game must often be done in an effort to pre-

serve the culture that characterizes the re-

gion in Indonesia. 

 

Discussion 

Children's basic abilities need to be 

developed and realized through positive 

activities, namely playing and learning, so 

that play activities are a need for great cu-

riosity to learn both sensoryly, motorly, so-

cially, and intellectually. Children will get 

the full opportunity to play and learn in a 

way that is directed to the positive goal of 

developing active ability towards creative 

in aspects of personal development as well 

as a sense of moral and social responsibil-

ity. 

Tourism that has a very profitable 

educational concept for the education and 

development of children can learn while 

recreation and gain new knowledge. Chil-

dren's educational and recreational rides 

are said to be good if they can make chil-

dren themselves, comfortable and safe, 

comfort is meant when the child is happy 

when playing and learning and feels at 

home and has a sense of satisfaction, while 

security is meant by using materials that 

consider safety and environmentally 

friendly so that it will not harm the child. 

Educational tourism becomes an ac-

tivity that has the purpose of learning while 

playing, education is delivered through ed-

ucational programs and seeks to change 

cognitive, participatory knowledge of 

learners, skills, and behaviors. Through

this tour, tourists can travel to the location 

and connect directly with tourism while 

getting a learning experience (Bhuiyan et 

al., 2010). 

Advances in technology provide 

convenience for some parties, but also 

have a negative impact on the development 

of children who use devices. The lack of 

motor movement of children in using gadg-

ets, can be overcome by educational tour-

ism in Kampung Adat Banceuy which still 

maintains many traditional games with 

benefits. Traditional games contain noble 

values, such as the value of life, coopera-

tion, empathy, hard work, and many other 

interesting things. 

The preservation of traditional Sun-

danese games that provide many life les-

sons to children can be supported by the 

Village by holding special exhibitions and 

then displaying traditional games. An in-

ventory of all traditional games owned 

along with rules and how to play them can 

be written so that they can be maintained 

for generations to come. 

The development of educational 

tourism needs to go through an optimal 

promotion process, especially through var-

ious media with the aim of being millenni-

als. Promotions must be spread in various 

media with high intensity spread and active 

spread massively. Increased innovation in 

attractions by adding attraction so that 

tourists can visit eduwisata which has 

many variations of activities such as tradi-

tional games and feeding of farm animals. 

In addition, different types of plants can be 

offered for planting and harvesting pack-

ages to tourists.

as a sense of moral and social responsibil-

ity. 

Tourism that has a very profitable 

educational concept for the education and 

development of children can learn while 

recreation and gain new knowledge. Chil-

dren's educational and recreational rides 

are said to be good if they can make chil-

dren themselves, comfortable and safe, 

comfort is meant when the child is happy 

when playing and learning and feels at 

home and has a sense of satisfaction, while 

security is meant by using materials that 

consider safety and environmentally 

friendly so that it will not harm the child. 

Educational tourism becomes an ac-

tivity that has the purpose of learning while 

playing, education is delivered through ed-

ucational programs and seeks to change 

cognitive, participatory knowledge of 

learners, skills, and behaviors. Through 

this tour, tourists can travel to the location 

and connect directly with tourism while 

getting a learning experience (Bhuiyan et 

al., 2010). 

Advances in technology provide 

convenience for some parties, but also 

have a negative impact on the development 

of children who use devices. The lack of 

motor movement of children in using gadg-

ets, can be overcome by educational tour-

ism in Kampung Adat Banceuy which still 

maintains many traditional games with 

benefits. Traditional games contain noble 

values, such as the value of life, coopera-

tion, empathy, hard work, and many other 

interesting things. 

The preservation of traditional Sun-

danese games that provide many life les-

sons to children can be supported by the 

Village by holding special exhibitions and 

then displaying traditional games. An in-

ventory of all traditional games owned 

along with rules and how to play them can 

be written so that they can be maintained 

for generations to come.

The development of educational 

tourism needs to go through an optimal 

promotion process, especially through var-

ious media with the aim of being millenni-

als. Promotions must be spread in various 

media with high intensity spread and active 

spread massively. Increased innovation in 

attractions by adding attraction so that 

tourists can visit eduwisata which has 

many variations of activities such as tradi-

tional games and feeding of farm animals. 

In addition, different types of plants can be 

offered for planting and harvesting pack-

ages to tourists. 

 

CONCLUSION 

 

In conclusion, children's develop-

ment and learning can be effectively fos-

tered through positive activities such as 

playing and learning. By providing ample 

opportunities for children to engage in play 

and directed learning, their sensory, motor, 

social, and intellectual abilities can be fully 

realized. This approach not only promotes 

their active and creative development but 

also instills a sense of personal growth, 

moral values, and social responsibility. 

Additionally, educational tourism offers a 

profitable concept for children's education 

and development, allowing them to learn 

while enjoying recreational activities and 

gaining new knowledge. It is essential to 

create educational and recreational envi-

ronments that prioritize children's comfort 

and safety, using materials that are both 

child-friendly and environmentally sus-

tainable. 

Furthermore, technological ad-

vancements, although convenient, can 

have negative effects on children's devel-

opment when excessive device usage lim-

its their motor movements. However, edu-

cational tourism, such as the one offered in 

Kampung Adat Banceuy, provides a solu-

tion by preserving traditional games that 

contain valuable life lessons. These games 

promote important values like cooperation, 

empathy, and hard work, addressing the 

drawbacks of excessive gadget use. To en-

sure the preservation of traditional games, 

the village can organize special exhibitions 

and document the rules and instructions for 

each game, ensuring their continuity for fu-

ture generations. 

To facilitate the growth of educa-

tional tourism, a comprehensive promotion 

process is crucial, particularly targeting 

millennials through various media chan-

nels. Intensive and extensive promotion ef-

forts will raise awareness and attract more 

tourists to visit eduwisata sites. Continuous 

innovation in attractions, such as incorpo-

rating traditional games and animal feed-

ing experiences, can enhance the diversity 

of activities available for visitors. Moreo-

ver, offering packages for planting and har-

vesting different types of plants can pro-

vide unique and engaging experiences for 

tourists. By implementing these strategies, 

educational tourism can flourish and con-

tribute to the holistic development of chil-

dren while promoting cultural heritage and 

environmental sustainability.
