The purpose of this study is to compare the strategy development of cultural villages which has different types of attractions, whether there is any characteristic difference of cultural village strategy in terms of attractions, accessibility, amenities and ancillary aspect. Two cultural villages with different tourism attractions were used as a case study; those are Kamasan cultural village in Klungkung Regency with handicraft attractions and Pemuteran cultural village in Buleleng Regency with marine activities (adventurous tourism). The study was conducted qualitatively with the case study approach by comparing cases that have very different types of attractions. The data was collected by in-depth interview, observation and documentation with qualitative descriptive analysis technique using (Miles and Huberman, 1994) approach. Interviews were conducted with business actors and tourists by using the random sampling method. The number of informants cannot be justi ied prior to the interview. Interview was ended when data reached saturation. The inding revealed that there were differences in the strategy development of cultural villages, particularly in the characteristic of amenities (i.e., homestay, hotel, inn, and villa). Cultural village with handicraft attractions has very few accommodations because tourists usually visit for a short time and have speci ic interest in arts and culture (purposeful type of cultural tourist). While the cultural village with marine activities has a large number of different types accommodations. The majority of tourists spend more times to experience the adventure (sightseeing and casual cultural tourists).

This paper presents the development of tourism market through the alternative forms of tourism. Origins and main definitions are presented followed by an analysis of the complexity of classifying the alternative forms of tourism. It is about developing new forms of sustainable tourism that integrate local populations and both natural and human environments of host countries. Ecotourism, cultural tourism and creative tourism support a different philosophy of tourism. Ecotourism in recent years encloses many tourism forms focused on natural environment. In the concept of alternative tourism, the dynamic growth of cultural tourism can be explained by the fast growth of demand for trips to various cultural attractions and amenities. Τhe increase of educated population around the world, the globalization and technology supported this growth. Cultural tourist, from consumer is transforming to producer of the cultural products and experiences. Since this type of tourist becomes more interactive and creative, cultural tourism needs to be repositioned and become more "creative" too. In this way, the present article provides a simplified approach of the new "alternative" tourism development and distinguishes the current trends in tourism market.
