ABSTRACT
This study aims to assess the contribution of homestays in creating a memorable tourism experience (MTE) in Lumban Suhi-Suhi Toruan Tourism Village (Dewi Lusi), Samosir, focusing on seven MTE dimensions: hedonism, refreshment, social and local culture, meaningfulness, knowledge, novelty, and adverse feeling. The study also seeks to formulate root-problem-based strategies to enhance tourists’ experience through homestay development. Conducted from September 2024 to July 2025, this research employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 key informants—managers of the local village enterprise (BUMDes Hita Do Hita), homestay owners and tourists—as well as through observation and documentation. Data analysis utilized a thematic approach and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to identify core issues and strategic solutions. Findings reveal that homestays in Dewi Lusi serve not only as lodging but also as a platform for cultural interaction, education, and emotional engagement. The proposed strategies include service training, thematic experience packaging, and enhancement of cultural narratives.
Keywords: Homestay, Memorable Tourism Experience, Tourism Village, Cultural Interaction, Root Cause Analysis.
