Student Potential in Developing Beach Recreational Sports Events to Improve Local Tourism

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of student capacity in organizing recreational sports events based on the results of the pre-test and post-test scores. This study used a survey method with a quantitative descriptive research design. Data analysis used a percentage technique based on norm-referenced assessments. The subjects in this study were 30 students of Recreational Business Management. The data collection process used a structured questionnaire. Based on the pre-test and post-test data, the results showed that the Sig. (2-tailed) value was 0.0000.05, so it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the results of the Pre-Test and Post-Test. This is reinforced by the fact that before carrying out recreational sports activities, the Post-Test results showed a percentage of 41% (Moderate). After carrying out recreational sports activities, the percentage increased to 70% (High).
