Development and construction of regional economy based on ecotourism is one of the efforts to develop the region through the tourism sector, which not only presents natural tourist charm that still natural but also contributes to environmental conservation. Malaganti is one of the hamlets located in Sukaharja Village, Sariwangi District, Tasikmalaya Regency, which has the potential to be developed into an ecotourism area. Considering the location of Malaganti is located in a hilly area and has a spring, so this location is suitable to be used as a "Village of Biology and Conservation". The problems that arise for the management of ecotourism in this area include the limited availability of qualified human resources in managing the area and the lack of instruments to analyze the potential of the region to be used as ecotourism. The approach used in the implementation of this activity is participatory rural appraisal (PRA), using methods of training, brainstorming, and demonstration. The results obtained from the community service activities are that local communities can analyze their territory for developing ecotourism through developed instruments. The results of the analysis can be used as the basis for developing ecotourism in Malaganti Hamlet, in addition to building conservation cadres Human Resources.

Besides the tourism sector can increase economic growth, it also does not damage the environment and even stimulates environmental conservation. The tourism sector has become a global trend in the past three decades. World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) in 1998. Problems: 1) What is the urgency of tourism in the NTT region? And 2) How do you deal with the challenges of developing tourism in the NTT region? This research is empirical legal research. The urgency of tourism in the NTT region, among others: paying attention to tourism in the province of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), which has the character of an archipelago, most of which consists of marine waters and is still lagging behind, it seems that the urgency of tourism in NTT is dominated by sea tourism or nature, such as national parks, Marine Conservation Areas, and Nature Parks (TWA). This is evident through the existence of 8 (eight) marine waters conservation areas owned by NTT Province. In addition, NTT Province also has a lot of potential in the marine sector, such as marine resources for capture and aquaculture; the potential for seaweed cultivation; potential of salt resources; and the potential for pearl cultivation, all of the marine potential is very supportive and influences the urgency of tourism for the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province. Efforts that can be made in order to deal with these challenges include: first, make improvements in the infrastructure sector, for example there is good coordination between the central and regional governments and cities in the NTT Province with regard to policies on water conservation area management or marine tourism in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT); second, maximizing the tourism potential in NTT through professional human resource de-velopment, improved tourism management facilities and third, online tourism publications optimized so that tourists are interested in traveling to the NTT Province; and in addition, supervise/control the applicable laws and regulations in ALKI that cross the sea waters, so that the existence of the ALKI does not interfere with the conservation of waters in the Sawu Sea.

Like many developing countries, Thailand is currently coping with a host of environmental challenges and a need to reduce carbon emissions. To tackle this challenge, Thailand has produced policies designed to enhance environmental conservation. However, without the development of its labour force with suitable and up to date job skills this challenge becomes difficult to achieve. This paper presents a rationale for the emergence of green occupations as a means of transitioning Thailand’s tourism sector into a low carbon economy. A mechanism for achieving this goal is by training and retraining the workforce with a set of well-defined green knowledge and skill sets. These can be developed through the development and implementation of ‘green competencies’. This paper presents a methodology of how to transition a standard job into a green job in the tourism sector by developing green sustainable competencies
