The Development of Religious Tourism Da’wah for Pesantren Receptionists
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are rich in religious tourism potential; therefore, they need to be developed as a medium for da’wah activities. However, pesantren circles are less able to manage the power of the management system and the unity system in developing religious da’wah. The object of this assistance is pesantren-based group counseling for pesantren receptionists (pengkhidmah tamu pesantren) members. The aim of this research is to strive for pesantren human resources (especially pesantren receptionists) to be able to manage the management staff system and unified staff system in dealing with the development of religious da’wah. The mentoring method uses Participatory Action Research (PAR) combined with pesantren-based counselling group. Data collection tools include interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions. The research sample was 40 guest speakers. The results of the counseling show the problems of pesantren in developing religious da’wah, namely that pesantren receptionists do not have good skills and organization, do not have information technology skills, and do not have an entrepreneurial spirit. Forms of counseling include bil-irsyad da’wah assistance (especially social skills), bit-tadbir da’wah assistance (management psychology transformation), information technology training (e-tamu), as well as career counseling and entrepreneurship psychology assistance. The impact of counseling assistance shows a level of guest satisfaction of 87% (high). This counseling assistance is very important for the development of the science of da’wah bil-irsyad (counseling), and the benefits are felt by the community of pesantren receptionists members. In the future, research should be carried out with other approaches so as to obtain comprehensive data.
