Kampung Ekologi Temas is a tourist village located in Batu City, East Java. Kampung Ekologi Temas is a rural environment-based tourism area that empowers the local community. However, after the pandemic hit Kampung Ekologi Temas experienced permanent closure. The local community was difficult to persuade to develop the village again, which became a major challenge. Therefore, the village development team from the Tourism study program of the Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” East Java was present to help overcome the existing problems by carrying out mentoring activities. The mentoring activity carried out is assistance in preparing tour packages. Previously, Kampung Ekologi Temas did not have its own tour packages, they conducted tourism activities without organizing schedules and determining them manually. The mentoring activity was attended by four people out of a total of ten people invited. This activity produced outputs in the form of artificial tour packages consisting of two types, one-day tours and two-day one-night tours. During the mentoring, the community was able to discuss well and it is hoped that other communities can participate in training with a similar theme to improve their skills in preparing tour packages.
