Abstract

Tourism as source of foreign exchange and country's business opportunities for the community doesn't mean come without risks, especially in the sphere of local culture. On one hand tourism introduces the uniqueness of local culture. On the other hand, cultural tourism introduces the 'other' culture brought by foreign tourists, or the host country must provide tourist needs as required which give impact on local people's lifestyle changes.There could be problem if the changes affect the sustainability of local tradition or local uniqueness. This study attempts to explain the possibilities could occur when the doers and planners of tourism are less aware on cultural preservation and focus only on short term economic benefits by sacrificing the main core of the appeal. Some cases in recent tourism activities and events in Central Java are appointed and made as examples, then analyzed qualitatively with case study methods. Discussion of the results showed the 'tragedy of the common' and the tendency of travel catering that disgorge from the changes in tourist demand will affect the pattern of tourism services provision. However the benefit to the local culture will be in the form of new tradition born by a cross culture.
