How to Make Ginger Syrup to Build Tourism Potential in the Surrounding Environment
Most of the developing countries in the world have natural resources that have not been managed optimally. These countries usually take advantage of natural resources. Natural resources themselves are divided into 2 types, namely Natural Resources and Non-Biological Natural Resources. Biological Natural Resources consist of animals and plants in an area. Meanwhile, Non-Biological Resources consist of mineral materials to processed materials. Each region in the world has different Natural Resources. There are areas that have Biological Natural Resources, there are regions that have Non-Biological Natural Resources, and some have both. These natural resources can support the life of the people in the area. The community can also process existing natural resources into a source of community economy. The processing of natural resources is a potential that can be developed into tourism. In fact, agricultural land and plantations in an area can actually be an attractive tourist attraction.
