“…Murdock (2013) postulates that the Himba people have recognized how their lifestyle can attract tourists for revenue. However, scholars argue that cultures that are performed as tourist attractions lose their originality to accommodate the tourists' demands (Cahyadi, 2015). Moreover, they further emphasize that commoditization of culture destroys or changes the cultural practices and traditions of the indigenous groups.…”

The objective of the study was to investigate the Tourism and Commoditization of Traditional Cultures among the Himba People of Namibia. Globalization theory by Greg Richards and the use value theory by Marx was linked with this study. A mixture of methods comprising of descriptive cross-sectional survey, phenomenology and ethnographic research designs was employed to assess the effect of commoditization of traditional cultures among the Himba people through tourism. The study employed two principal data collection techniques: questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Stratified sampling and purposive sampling procedures were used. Purposive sampling was used as a non-probability sampling method in the sampling of key informants such as tour-guide, local leaders and museum employees. The study took place in two sampled villages in the Opuwo rural constituency, namely, Ohunguomure Village and Okatutura ka Vinjange, which form the major cultural tourist destinations. The sample size of this study was 98. Data was analysed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. Quantitative analysis was applied to close-ended questions, and the data were analysed in terms of frequencies and percentages using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Qualitative data obtained from open-ended questions and interviews were analysed thematically. The study concludes that commoditization of culture is diluting culture and destroys the originality of the culture. The study recommends the need for this Ministry to have a component or department that specifically works towards the issue of commoditization of the Himba culture in the Kunene Region.

Kampong Jayengan was formed in the early 19th century, when the royal family asked the jewelers from Martapura to come to Surakarta. Craftsmen work with ethnic Chinese gold entrepreneurs in making jewelry for the royal family. They settled and married with local residents, so that cultural events took place such as the distribution of ‘Samin’ porridge and the "Jarwana" cultural parade. The Surakarta government established Jayengan as a creative economy industrial area. Constraints that occur: lack of tourism promotion, cultural events only once a year, lack of availability of raw materials, lack of internal support, competition with other industries. The purpose of the research is to make the strategy of tourism development. The study was conducted questionnaires to identify activities, authentic values and tourist infrastructure.

“…Many authors describe the role played by the notion of authenticity in the tourist's expectations and overall experience (see for example Bryon and Derre 2010;Cahyadi 2015;Nelson 2014). As MacCannell describes (1972), the tourism industry has traditionally operated by marketing designed and manipulated products as 'authentic' experiences.…”

This study aims to give an account of the Malaysian Homestay Tourism industry through a case study of the Relau Homestay Program. By using a qualitative approach based on participant observation and interviews, this paper will examine the Relau Homestay Program in regard to three themes. These are a) the issue of 'authenticity' in the host culture and in the tourist experience, b) women's participation in the homestay program, and c) the filial dynamic of the host-guest relationship, which is discussed with reference to the concept of 'fictive kinship'. The Relau program was found to be a cogent model of homestay operation, in many respects due to the participation and major role of female operators. Therefore, we recommend more efforts are taken by the local government to recognize the contribution of women, and enhance opportunities for their training and further education.
