Abstract

Tourism is one of the key sectors that is able to drive the growth of various other sectors so as to generate a considerable revenue to the economic growth. Indonesia is wealthy of local culture as one of the attractions that colors the pattern of Indonesian tourism. Fostering the cultural development in the context of Indonesian tourism is expected to have a positive impact on the development of the tourism sector as a whole, and in particular on cultural tourism. This business has the potential to generate a considerable revenue because the development of cultural tourism is known to be flexible, without having to face any space and time restrictions. In order to accelerate the development of cultural tourism, we need to study tourism motivation as a basis for developing cultural tourism objects more optimally and to set a precedent for the development of cultural tourism in general, especially in Indonesia. This study particularly explores a person’s motives for traveling, which is closely related to the psychological aspects of tourists. Therefore, this exploration covers tangible and intangible aspects and the basis for choosing a qualitative descriptive method. The research on the motivation of cultural tourism revealed five push factors, namely 1) a way to improve cultural knowledge, 2) a way for refreshing, 3) a way to get experience, 4) a way to enjoy traditional culture, and 5) a way to strengthen relationship; and six general pull factors, namely 1) the beauty of tourism destination, 2) the comfortability of tourism environment, 3) accessibility, 4) transportation, 5) parking area, and 6) road quality. Furthermore, in the context of cultural tourism, it is necessary to study the cultural elements that play a major role in attracting tourist visits. This study revealed the four most attractive cultural elements for tourists, namely science, art, social systems and organizations, and economic systems and livelihoods.
