The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism has launched an initiative to promote six specific villages as premier educational tourism destinations. This program aims to align school curricula with experiential travel, transforming villages such as Desa Wisata Kreatif Terong and Desa Wisata Les into open learning spaces for subjects like science, ecology, and social studies.

In parallel, local developments are occurring within specific regions like Bali. In Klungkung, local leadership is seeking to position Bakas Village as a hub for the upcoming Bali Cultural Center by optimizing agriculture and MSMEs. Meanwhile, in Buleleng, Bengkel Village is working toward a 2027 launch of a tourism destination that integrates natural attractions, such as rice terraces and waterfalls, with prehistoric historical sites.
