AXENT: A Comprehensive Android Application Innovation for Tourism Promotion and EthnoScience Education in West Nusa Tenggara – A Dedication to the Nation

Blessed with stunning natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage, Indonesia offers numerous unexplored
and captivating destinations, such as the province of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). While NTB boasts immense
tourism potential, it remains relatively unknown to international travelers. To address this issue, the AXENT
(Adventure and Education West Nusa Tenggara) application was developed to provide comprehensive information
about NTB, encompassing its history, culture, and tourist attractions. The application development methodology
involved user interface design using Figma, data collection from the Internet, data integration into the design,
application development using Kodular, and testing and evaluation. The results demonstrate that AXENT enhances
cultural and tourism awareness, integrates ethnoscience education, and holds the potential to support local economic
growth. The program also plays a role in preserving culture and the environment by promoting sustainable tourism.
In-depth discussions highlight how AXENT addresses development and implementation challenges, including
collaborating with local communities and government to overcome infrastructure constraints. In conclusion, the
development of AXENT reveals that the application serves not only as a tourist guide but also as a learning tool that
empowers local communities and supports sustainable development in NTB.
