Abstract

The main goal of study is to analysis community based tourism (CBT) concept which implement in order to develop cultural tourism in Palembang, particularly in the Kemaro Island. Primary data were collected through semi-structure interview to several key informants and observations. While, secondary data were gathered through documentations, and some literatures. By using Huber Miles and thematic and coding approaches, the study found that economic and political dimensions were more dominant rather than environment, culture, and social factors to construct Kemaro Island as a cultural destination. In the economic factor, the study disclosed job available for societies who stay in the island. They also more creative to earn money from tourism activities in their areas. Thematic concept of ‘hydroponic planting on a floating village’ make the place more attractive, and selling traditional foods were good model of CBT for creating cultural end. This not only impacts on the families’ incomes but also to local generated-revenues. At the same time, Pagoda and Kelenteng are not only merely as Buddhism praying places but now visitor enjoy as tourist attractions. Another interesting finding was religion tolerant among Buddhists and Muslims. All locals are Muslims but they compact with Buddhists in order to keep the Buddhism praying places and doing activities in those areas. Thus, the model of CBT of cultural tourism on Kemaro Island was fairly enough contributed by those two factors above.
