Keywords

Abstract

Community life with local wisdom is always interesting to discuss, especially local wisdom is really different from the lives of people in general. Indeed, the values of local wisdom contained in a particular area are sacred and must be maintained. However, often the values of local wisdom are only stored and carried out by people who live in the area, whereas in fact the values of local wisdom are very useful for people's lives. Therefore, by utilizing modernity, uniqueness, and the values of local wisdom, certain areas can be used as educational tours that not only benefit leisure but also provide life learning that comes from the values of local wisdom. Information exploration activities about the values of local wisdom are carried out in Kampung Dukuh, Garut, West Java, Indonesia with a qualitative approach and a case study method of local wisdom values that can be used as an educational tourism vehicle for local wisdom can be found. This finding is seen to be beneficial for the development of tourism which places the values of local wisdom as a form of new educational tourism that is beneficial to the lives of individuals and society in general
