- Abstract
Danawarih Village has a religious tourism attraction with a historical site called The Tomb of Ki Gede Sebayu in Balapulang Tegal. During Mataram Kingdom, Ki Gede Sebayu was recognized as the founder of Tegal, a small city in Central Java, and he was also the first person who spread Islam in the city. Danawarih Village has the potential to become Tourism Village, as announced by the Department of Youth, Sports, and Tourism (Dinas Pemuda Olahraga dan Pariwisata) of Tegal Regency in 2020. This study used a qualitative approach that employs descriptive analysis to investigate scientifically the shift of the destination into a tourism village. There were some physical evidences in the form of dam and the historical site of the Tomb of Ki Gede Sebayu. Ki Gede Sebayu built Danawarih Dam to irrigate rice fields in the agricultural area to provide economic benefits to local residents. Ki Gede Sebayu passed away and was laid to rest in Danawarih Village. Until now, many visitors come to make pilgrimages. Thus, this transforms the village into one of religious tourism destinations among locals.
