has the speed, efficiency, and low cost. It can be said
that online media is one of the important components
in building Indonesian tourism.
In promoting Paksebali as a tourist village based
on online media, it is necessary to develop a smart
village, i.e. the concept of smart city which can be
interpreted literally as a smart village. The concept
applies information and communication technology
based on village communication as a complex
interaction among various systems within. So that it
is effectively beneficial for its villagers as well as to
improve the quality of life, reduce costs and sources
of consumption. One important factor in its
development is that the marketing aspect must be
taken seriously, because the management of
Paksebali as a tourist village is only in the early stage
of development.
In the initial stage, marketing investment is
urgently needed and the right strategy in marketing
and promoting the products of Paksebali is vitally
important. Based on preliminary studies, it reveals the
paradigm that the management of Paksebali tourist
village has not run optimally. The designed tour
packages only reached 5% of the target sales, and
25% of food and beverage sales target. Therefore,
Paksebali tourism management business can be said
as not profitable. Based on this paradigm, this
research will analyze the market and marketing
system of Paksebali tourist village, analyze and
develop marketing strategies for Paksebali tourism
village towards Smart Eco-Village Destination.
2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 Tourist Village
The concept of Community Based Tourism (CBT) is
an accurate solution in overcoming all the challenges
of developing tourist villages in order to achieve
sustainable tourist village management (Nugroho,
2018). Tourist village is a form of integration between
attractions, accommodations, and supporting
facilities presented in a structure of community life
which merges with the prevailing procedures and
traditions. A tourist village has a distinctive appeal (it
can be in the form of physical uniqueness of the rural
natural environment, as well as the socio-cultural life
of the community) which is packaged naturally and
attractively so that the attractiveness of rural areas can
raise tourist visits to the village (Ministry of Culture
and Tourism, 2011:1). Tourist village is a rural area
that offers an overall atmosphere that reflects rural
authenticity both from social economic life, social
culture, customs, daily life, has a building
architecture and a typical village spatial structure, or
unique activities and has the potential to develop
various components of tourism (Priasukmana &
Mulyadi, 2001).
2.2 Smart Village
Smart village is the development of the concept of
smart city that was previously better known. Smart
city is defined as a city capable of using human
resources, social capital and modern
telecommunications infrastructure to realize
sustainable economic growth and high quality of life
with wise resource management through community-
based government participation (Nijkamp in
Mujiyono, 2016). Smart city is a broad approach,
integrated in increasing the efficiency of operating a
city, improving the quality of life of its inhabitants,
and growing the economy of its region (Cohen in
Mujiyono, 2016). It is how to connect physical
infrastructure, social infrastructure and economic
infrastructure by using technology, which can
integrate all elements in these aspects and make cities
more efficient and livable (Muliarto, 2015). The
approach of developing a smart city considers certain
issues, including contribution, self-assertiveness,
independence, and awareness. Smart city has six
basic principles, namely: smart economy, smart
mobility, smart environment, smart people, smart
living, and smart governance (Giffinger in Mujiyono,
2016).
2.3 Marketing Strategy and Marketing
Mix
Marketing Strategy is a marketing mindset that will
be used to achieve its marketing goals. It contains
specific strategies for the target market, positioning,
marketing mix and the amount of marketing expenses
(Kotler and Armstrong, 2004: 81). It is a fundamental
tool planned to reach the company by developing a
competitive advantage that is sustainable through the
market entered and the marketing program used to
serve the target market (Tjiptono, 2002: 6). Thus,
marketing strategy is the basis of actions that lead to
activities or marketing efforts, from a company, in
conditions of competition and an ever-changing
environment in order to achieve optimal goals.
Marketing strategies can stimulate purchases by
consumers when planning a marketing program.
Kotler and Armstrong (2004) argue that the
marketing mix as a set of technical marketing tools
