Abstract
Currently, Indonesian tourism is preparing to open back to international tourism activities due to the Covid 19 pandemic. One of the factors that they need to prepare is sustainable development in terms of Environmentally Feasible, which emphasizes that the development process must be responsive and pay attention to efforts to preserve the environment (natural and cultural), and to a minimum, avoid adverse impacts that can reduce environmental quality and disturb the ecological balance. This research aims at giving a new approach to preserving the environment without reducing tourism activity. English version of the oral tradition in the tourism place is chosen to attract tourists’ awareness in preserving the environment. This research is a case study of Kandri Tourism Village by using documents analysis and interviews. The results showed various oral traditions related directly to the environment, which are passed down from generation to generation by the community. The oral traditions are succeeded in being used to preserve the environment for the domestic tourist. However, this is not optimal when applied to foreign tourists due to two factors: limited terminology and cross-cultural understanding.
Highlights
Tourism is a sector that impacted massively due to pandemic Covid-19
The Covid-19 vaccination program is currently running in Indonesia
The interview and document analysis showed that some oral traditions are still being preserved and believed by the local society at Kandri Tourism Village
Summary
Tourism is a sector that impacted massively due to pandemic Covid-19. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency, the number of foreign tourists is decreased by 73.6 percent during January-November 2020. The government revealed that if everything is conducive, there is a possibility that in June or July 2021, foreign tours will re-open. The Covid-19 vaccination program is currently running in Indonesia. To prepare the tourism places to re-open, preparing the local tourist places is a must. It is hoped that they could attract many foreign tourists after the gate is opened and bring back their good economic conditions
