Some problems or deficiencies in smoothing the goal of cooperation include the lack of intention of the village community in managing the Tirta Empul tourist attraction, equipment and facilities that support cleaning of their respective tourist attractions and the number of tourists who do not pay attention to cleanliness by littering carelessly despite the many trash cans provided, thus creating heas.
