The tourism industry cannot be separated from the tourism components itself, such as Attractions, Amenity, Accessibility, Supporting Facilities and Institution, which are related to each other. Supporting facility such a place to buy souvenirs is an important component because souvenirs include in objects that can be developed and have added value for tourism actors. The absence of souvenirs in Ciapus leads to the need of planning of sophisticated souvenir making to increase the benefits for local communities and how to empower local communities for better understanding in managing and minimizing the impact of such activities. This research used descriptive qualitative research methods where the data were taken through the process of interviewing with community leaders, tourists and managers of attraction sites located at the tourism village of Tamansari in Ciapus, Bogor. The results showed that some souvenirs that have been previously planned got a positive response by consumers who were eager to get distinctive souvenirs from the village. There were two souvenirs in great demand by visitors, namely clothes and handmade products as well as batik-made products such as bags, wallet and hand phone casing
