Bantar Kulon is one of the villages in the Lebakbarang District, Pekalongan Regency, which is geographically located in a mountainous area called the North Serayu Mountains and is designated as a Regional Tourism Development Area (KPPD) with an eco-tourism image based on the Regional Tourism Development Master Plan (RIPPARDA) document of Pekalongan Regency in 2018-2025. Bantar Kulon Village has very supportive potential for ecotourism development. However, in order to accomplish the goal of transforming Bantar Kulon into an ecotourism destination, the potential already present needs to be combined with effective community engagement management. This paper aims to study the effectiveness of educational programs based on a religio-cultural approach in an effort to turn Bantar Kulon Village into an eco-tourism village. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research approach. The residents of Bantar Kulon Village can really be encouraged to take a more active role in efforts to promote ecotourism by using some education that takes a religio-cultural approach.
