Abstract

This article is describing how the so-called sacred activities conducted by Shamans are being and should be under the spotlight of the tourist attraction. In Indonesia, there are so many varieties of tourism places and events to be experienced. There are traditional events which exclusively exist only in Indonesia such as one of Javanese tradition or Jathilan, and etc. Jathilan are purposely conduct to entertain the traditional troops in Java when they were going to a battle but now it is pure an entertainment for the society. As in fact, in Indonesia the world religion and the indigenous religion or traditions are coexisting in the society. Jathilan tradition could be one of examples which Indonesian culture could maintain to be survives, though it is not as popular as before. Using a literature study and addition from personal experiences in watching Jathilan performances, this article purpose is to show that sacred activities which used for attract people are not losing their sacredness at certain point. Taylor’s article about the sincerity and authenticity on cultural tourism used to support the point of view of this discussion. How the Jathilan still maintained as a sacred performance in the tourism attraction. Even the tradition has been through to certain modifications, they could maintain their own identity and sacredness for society to enjoy. In this article also, I am aiming to suggest to society to help the tradition to have their place in tourism as a work for protecting the cultural heritage in Indonesia.
