SWOT analysis, EFAS, IFAS, herbal
medicinal products and traditional medical tourism |
The diversification
of the business sector in Bali, particularly in the development of herbal
medicinal products and traditional medical tourism, is essential for reducing
the region's dependence on the tourism industry. This study aims to identify
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced by Catur Village,
Kintamani, Bangli Regency in its efforts to develop these sectors. The
research utilizes qualitative data, primarily gathered through interviews
with key informants. SWOT analysis, encompassing both internal and external
factors, was employed to analyze the data. The findings suggest that an
aggressive expansion strategy, focused on community participation, the
enhancement of herbal and traditional medical tourism products, and the
implementation of digital marketing, is necessary for the village's
sustainable development. |

INTRODUCTION
The livelihood/source
of life for most Balinese people and the main source of local revenue of the
province of Bali, especially south Bali tourism centres (Tabanan, Badung,
Gianyar, and Denpasar City), is the tourism sector and other tourism
supporters. The tourism sector is a sector that has a high multiple influence
on local communities, with the opportunity to do business, open employment for
local communities around tourist attractions, can develop creative industries
in the agricultural, fishery, plantation, and MSME sectors.
The impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic, which lasted from November 2019 to January 8, 2022, has
lasted for more than 2 years, resulting in the Bali economy being at its lowest

number of unemployed increases, and the purchasing power of the Balinese people
decline; all of this has accumulated with the decline in economic resilience,
social culture of the community, and vulnerability to public security

situations and conditions, in an effort to maintain community business
activities, they continue to run

Figure
3. SWOT Analysis
Source: Rangkuti,
Based on Figure 2 which is connected to Figure 3 of Catur Village, Kintamani
is expected to be able to implement an aggressive SO (Strengths –
Opportunities) Strategy in the development process as a producer of herbal
medicinal products while at the same time developing alternative traditional
medical tourism (traditional medical tourism) as sustainable tourism in rural
areas. The formulation of innovative strategies for developing herbal medicinal
products and alternative traditional medical tourism (traditional medical
tourism) can be formulated into community participation strategies, product
strategies, and digital marketing strategies
The formulation of the Grand Strategy is a very favorable situation for
Chess Village because it has many opportunities and strengths
Strategy Formulation
The effectiveness of carrying out the grand strategy requires
strategy formulation based on the results of the analysis of the internal
environment and the results of the analysis of the external environment
Society
participation
Having the opportunity to cultivate more herbal plants supported by
beautiful rural natural conditions, dominated by plantation areas owned by each
subak group and increasing and maintaining the consistency of activities
carried out by the Women Farmers Group (KWT) Tunjung Wana Sari, Catur Village.
Increasing the welfare of rural communities by producing processed health and
beauty medicines. It has a selling value and guarantees the health of its
people through industry and maintenance of medicinal plants because it is
supported by the power of all members of the community by participating in
planting family medicinal plants (TOGA) in their respective yards, which can
then be picked and processed into a health and beauty drug product as well as
aid. The first is when people get sick. Can still maintain the natural and
socio-cultural authenticity that has existed for generations as ancestral
heritage, namely the plantation system, subak, and the use of plants that grow
around the village environment
However, this cannot be done solely by relying on community participation.
In an interview with Mr. I Gusti Ngurah Rupa and Mrs. Sang Ayu Ketut
Budianingsih, Mr. Gusti stated that in the development of herbal medicinal
products and health tourism villages, it is no less important to collaborate
with 4 stakeholders that we can invite to develop and promote, one of which is
us from managers of tourist villages and the village itself, then from
entrepreneurs and from the local government, especially in terms of licensing
and legality of herbal medicinal products processed by the tourist village.
Herbal
Medicine Products and Traditional Medical Tourism
Can be a
pioneer and center for producing herbal medicinal products as well as
alternative traditional medical tourism (traditional medical tourism) in
Indonesia with the increasing variety of processed products made from herbal
plants and the possibility of increasing the types of medicinal products and
traditional beauty products processed by the herbal plants themselves.
The production
process of herbal medicines is guided by the availability of raw materials of
the type and quality of raw materials with the aim of being independent of the
village community in providing plants of various types of herbal medicinal raw
materials
The main focus
in the development of herbal medicines and traditional medical tourism
(traditional medical tourism) is to complete the permits for these products to
circulate in the market because they are related to the safety and health of
consumers. The development of herbal medicine and alternative tourism for the
Catur Village community is a strength and potential, so that it becomes a model
for developing and diversifying rural communities not only depending entirely
on the tourism sector but being developed into a combination of product
innovation with alternative sustainable tourism development.
Digital
Marketing
The final strategy formulation is regarding marketing methods to introduce
traditional medical tourism products as well as marketing them
The strategy for developing herbal medicinal products can be programmed by
introducing and marketing products through other digital media other than
village websites or by venturing into social media such as Facebook, Twitter,
and Instagram. It is also possible that the government can help by providing
training to the human resources/community of Catur Village to create a program
such as a special website for ordering goods and making payments online.
CONCLUSION
Based
on the discussion, it can be concluded that the development of Catur Village as
a reference point for producing herbal medicinal products and traditional
medical tourism has both strengths and weaknesses. The village benefits from
its beautiful natural environment, the ability to cultivate a wide variety of
herbal plants, active community groups producing traditional health and herbal
beauty products, and affordable product prices. Additionally, the village
maintains a strong adherence to social and cultural practices in the
cultivation and production processes. However, there are challenges such as the
lengthy processing time, the lack of official permits or certifications from
relevant authorities, and the limited market reach, as products are primarily
sold within the village due to these certification and marketing constraints.
Catur
Village also has opportunities, including the potential to cultivate more
herbal plants, diversify its health and beauty product offerings, improve the
welfare of the local community, and contribute to public health through the
medicinal plant industry. On the other hand, there are threats, such as
potential shortages of raw materials, limited product availability, and the
possibility of significant price increases if medicinal raw materials become
scarce.
To
support the development of herbal medicinal products and Traditional Medical
Tourism in Catur Village, a comprehensive strategy is needed. This should
include the formulation of a Community Participation Strategy, a Herbal & Traditional Medical Tourism Product Strategy,
and a Digital Marketing Strategy to enhance the village's growth and reach.
