Abstract

Traditional tourism villages that live in the midst of modernity, in general, are difficult to survive and sustain. However, the development of competent tourism is a factor in causing a customary tourism village to maintain the practice of heritage traditions for tourism. This study aims to explain the traditional practices that can be offered for tourist attractions, the benefits obtained and the challenges in maintaining traditional village practices. The research uses a qualitative method, with informants consisting of Village Heads, Tribal Heads, Tourism Actors, MSMEs, Communities and Tourists, as well as documentation studies. The results of the study show that 8 types of traditional practices are maintained and become cultural tourism attractions, including traditional house traditions, local costumes, lifestyle culture, traditional ceremonies, weaving processes, local food, dances and attractions, and local languages. Traditional tourism villages have contributed to economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits. For the sustainability of traditional tourism villages, it is inseparable from a number of challenges, namely stakeholder commitment, economic interests, quality of human resources, cooperation, environmental issues, integrated tourism village development, and modernity.
