Abstract

The key concepts used in this study include creative economy, creative folklore, cultural tourism and identity. The study revealed that most folktales used in tourism management were tales and local myths such as fairy tales, legends of the city, local tales and legends of heroes in the provinces. The application of folktales varied, including reinterpretation, reproduction and mixing to add the value of landmarks in the locality and local traditions, which could help to promote cultural tourism in the provinces.
