In empowering the community through the tourism village, all elements of the community must be involved in it, the purpose of empowerment 

community as a movement of the formation of a tourism village kakilangit must synergize between institutions, community leaders, and communities in the region to work together to make it happen. Exploring the potential of human resources, nature, and cultural traditions and all activities in it is a basic capital that is arranged in such a way as a concept of community empowerment in it.

In 2019 the number of domestic and foreign tourists visiting mangunan forest has decreased quite drastically, causing a decrease in the amount of revenue, Some natural attractions that have decreased under the auspices of the cooperative Noto Wono Mangunan are Pinus Pengger Hill, Becici Peak, Lintang Sewu, Asri Mangunan Pine Forest Area, Pinus Sari, Songgo Langit Thousand Stone Nature Tourism, Panguk Kediwung Hill and existing tourism potential is still not developed especially in terms of facilities that are still not supported. The condition of the facilities are still inadequate so it still prevents tourists to come to tourist attractions. With the condition of decreasing the number of visits and inadequate facilities, the manager brought about innovations such as facility improvement, addition of homestay accommodation, photo spot updates and improvements to the design of uploading photos on social media.

Digital destinations in the Province of Special Region of Yogyakarta that gave rise to digital tourist destinations Sky Market in The Village Tourism Kakilangit, Mangunan, Bantul. Kakilangit Market is a digital tourist destination that has just been developed by Kakilangit Tourism Village accompanied by GenPi (Generasi Pesona Indonesia), Local Government and Ministry of Tourism.

Digital destinations provide information that visits have been domiciled by domestic millennials who love unique places and can try new experiences, so domestic millennial travelers are set to be respondents in this study.

Eight concepts made kakilangit Mangunan tourism village namely Sky Roof, Sense of Sky, Sky Culture, Langit Ilalang, Langit Cerdas, Langit Terjal, Karya Langit, Langit Hijau, the concept of this tourist village got a mandate from Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X as a cultured independent village so that in nguri-nguri culture and art in the container of Langit Culture to attract tourists in choosing a visit then gejog Lesung art became a mainstay for Tourist Attractions on the stage of forest school and Kakilangit market so that with the concept that has been made can not be denied that the art of gejog lesung is able to attract tourists who visit. The new strategy is to hold the longer stay of tourists by utilizing the houses of residents around the area to provide lodging accommodation in the form of Homestays with the concept of branding limasan traditional houses.

Digital Destinations

This digital destination development policy combines the policy of developing tourist destinations packaged through a "up-to-date" digital marketing strategy. The concept of digital destinations is an innovation made by the Ministry of Justice in capturing the changing social situation of tourist travel patterns. Minister of Tourism (Menpar) Arief Yahya, in his presentation at Rakornas 2018 in Bali, termed digital destinations as destinations that are excited in cyberspace, viral on social media, and ngehits on instagram (Imam, 2017).

Tourist destinations are places visited with significant time during one's journey compared to other places traveled during the trip such as transit areas (Nugroho, 2018). Based on current market interests, the characteristics of travelers who travel instantly require an internet connection and an application that can make it easier for them when traveling (Hutami & Puriyantika, 2019).

Typical millennial tourists who are "money poor, but time rich" in addition to making millennials have extra time to be in a tourist destination, also make this generation has unique characteristics than other typical, among them (a) millennials will still travel even though the financial condition of the State is not good, even according to UNWTO, millennials tend to travel longer when the financial situation tends to be bad. (b) Millennials tend to allocate their spending directly to local communities and (c) have a tendency to invite others to visit a destination. (Ateljevic, 2020).

 

 

Tourist Attraction

In Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10. Tahun & Tentang Kepariwisataan, (2009). (Kemenpar, 2009) Attractions or tourist attractions are everything that has uniqueness, beauty, and value in the form of diversity of natural wealth, culture, and man-made products that are targeted or the destination of tourist visits. (Ramdani, 2019) "Important elements in the development of natural attractions include several attributes of the individual namely the state of nature, human resources, accommodation facilities and infrastructure to provide convenience for tourists to visit". The development of natural attractions in an area needs to pay attention to the various elements can be seen from the climate conditions, the existence of resources owned, accommodation facilities and infrastructure.

 

Homestay Accomodatin

(Mertha & Pitanatri, 2018) Homestay with its combined words (homestay) stays in someone's house as a paying guest for a short period of time. Guests are provided accommodation and services by family as well as individually (waiters) in the homestay. Homestays are generally built in rural destinations with efforts to attract tourists who have come to urban areas by offering the atmosphere of rural environment, comfortable accommodation, activities during their stay in the homestay, food that is maintained cleanliness and competitive prices in accordance with the facilities provided.

Homestay offers a unique and interesting experience, with the experience of learning with the environment and social interaction with the community, not infrequently in the activities of tourists in the homestay, the tourists consider the host of the accommodation business owner as their adoptive brother. Comfort and sense of family created in doing tourist activities in the homestay become part of the memories of tourists.

Homestay is one of the tourism businesses managed by the community in tourism destinations, especially in tourist villages. Homestay is a residence that some rooms are rented to tourists as well as the interaction between wistawan and homeowners. Homestay provides benefits for the community, namely as a forum for participation in developing tourism in the village, providing employment opportunities in an effort to improve the welfare of the community (Insani, Syafitri, Ningrum, & Mufid, 2020) (Ningrum et al., 2019).

 

Visiting Interests

According to (Suhaidi & Nugraha, 2018) assumes that the interest in purchasing in consumers can be equated with the interest of visiting tourists. This can be seen in the same actors, consumers or tourists in deciding to visit have various considerations such as before making a purchase. In the process of choosing, there is one aspect where prospective consumers or tourists can determine what the purpose of the choice is in the consumer or traveler. It is this strong and motivating motivation to choose as an action that is then called interest.

 

Visiting Decisions

A visit is a decision that a person takes before visiting a place or region taking into account several factors. The concept of visiting decisions is taken from the concept of purchasing decisions on a product, so that in some categories the purchase decision is applied into the visiting decision model (Saputri, Fauzi, & Irawan, 2018).
