Abstract

Ohoi Faan in Southeast Maluku Regency has a rich potential for cultural tourism, with various cultural activities that are still actively practiced by the local community as a traditional royal village. This study explores the cultural tourism potential of Ohoi Faan in the Kei Islands, an area rich in cultural heritage and history. The main goal is to understand how developing this potential can contribute to strengthening the local economy. Using a qualitative descriptive approach—through interviews, participatory observations, and document reviews—the research highlights several cultural sites, such as traditional houses, ancient wells, royal tombs, and Japanese bunkers, which could attract visitors. Local cultural festivals like Meti Kei, along with traditional crafts, also add to the area's appeal. Despite facing challenges such as limited infrastructure and minimal government support, the local community shows strong commitment to preserving its cultural identity. This is evident in their collaborative efforts with various stakeholders. Developing cultural tourism in Ohoi Faan offers promising opportunities—not only for creating jobs and boosting small businesses (SMEs) but also for promoting sustainable economic growth without compromising the region’s cultural values.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of the Tourism Office in promoting Letvuan Paradise Tourism Village and what obstacles are faced by the Tourism Office of Southeast Maluku Regency in carrying out promotions in Letvuan Paradise Tourism Village, Southeast Maluku Regency. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that the Southeast Maluku Regency Tourism Office plays a significant role in promoting the Letvuan Paradise Tourism Village through facilitation, mentoring, and collaboration with various parties. Promotion is carried out through official social media, annual events, and efforts to include Letvuan Paradise in the National Event Calendar (CEN). Promotion in the tourism sector is a means of communication to introduce a tourist destination and build a positive image, thereby increasing the number of visitors and providing economic benefits to the surrounding community. In addition to Hawang Cave, promotion also highlights local potential such as arabusta coffee, Japanese bunkers, and community culture. The Tourism Office also supports Pokdarwis and MSMEs through training and involvement in various activities. This encourages community and village government participation in tourism promotion. Obstacles faced include limited infrastructure, budget, and the use of digital technology. Overall, the Tourism Office plays a significant role in building the image of Letvuan Paradise, but sustainable development still requires infrastructure improvements, consistent promotion, and community independence.
