Abstract

As a world cultural tourism destination, Yogyakarta has become a magnet for those seeking diverse authenticity. In contrast to Bali, which is a melting pot for international tourists, Yogyakarta, as one of the unique regions of Indonesia, is infamous for its “Keraton” (Royal Family of Yogyakarta). With the dominance “Keraton” has made, cultural events are relatively rigid because it follows the royal rules. Nevertheless, cultural events taking place in this destination are dominated and driven by millennials. Regardless of the generation difference that exists, millennials have been able to conform to the kingdom’s stringent rules through the use of technology applications and digital marketing. Naturally, this implies that cultural activities held at this destination are generally successful. This study examines the concerns, challenges, and triumphs faced by technologically savvy millennials. Throughout the in-depth debate and joint literature reviews, it has become clear that cultural tourism and technology should not be made into a dichotomy. Instead, it should become an integral element of cultural preservation.
